And for those who would like a little background detail:

If that was about any officially "bad country" western media would immediately cry genocide. Hell they are crying genocide about China where the minorities population is increasing.

I know what you are trying to say, and there is no genocide on Xinjiang, but I wouldn't frame it that way my friend. Zionists use that same logic of population rising against Palestinians.

I know what you are trying to say too, but if we abandon every argument just because it is emptily used by this or that nazis, while remaining true in the specific context it was used by others, it would be undialectical and unmaterialist.

I’d imagine the number of Portuguese in Macao and the number of British in Hong Kong would show similar movements to Russians in Latvia - but I wouldn’t immediately call it genocide; but then I’m no expert.

gasp you mean this was slanted towards a particular conclusion interrobang

[–] Noel_Skum@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Well, I suppose that is one possible conclusion… but I’m not one to rush to judgement.

I just thought people might like to see a similar graph - but with more pretty colours on it.
