Suddenly seeing more hexbear posts. Did we re-federate with them?

Hmm, looks like the response to the un report is some guy on Twitter. And he seems to mostly handwave a ton of eyewitness testimony and investigations because they're from western governments.
You mean the dude pointing out how there's no first hand sources, the report is making use of unofficial translations and the report is in part based on observations made by the us army? Seems like a bit more than just "handwaving" eyewitness testimony to me.
What do you mean no first hand sources? I thought those were the the eyewitness that he dismissed because some of them hadn't talked to people about their traumatic experiences before talking to the UN.
I'm not bothered by the translations. An office translation would need to be by China, right? So they'd have a motive to mistranslate to downplay what they're doing. As long as the original documents as well as the translations are available, it should be easy enough to check the translation accuracy.
