What a vile little worm you are. And of course, because you don't actually consider them human, you don't care if they actually agree with this; you're not actually going to try present the argument that the Uyghurs themselves would, if you went to Xinjiang and asked them, would prefer to be in Gaza. You're just going to make the declaration for them, because you need to to excuse the holocaust going on in Gaza.
Please, present this footage that shows that the people of Xinjiang are worse off than the people in Gaza..
You can't actually defend the idea that the West's crimes aren't as bad as China, so you're just going to declare that it's "not allowed" to even mention the West's crimes. Even you realise your position is untenable if people actually bring up counter points, so you're going to pretend that some how it's "cheating" for them to do so.
Of course it fucking matters. What the fuck are you on about?
You're just assuming that, because you are only capable of seeing it in terms of Good Guys and Bad Guys, then I must be too, just in the other direction. This is a lazy strawman doesn't actually follow from anything that was said.
Not incorrect: a lie that you told.
"The estimate"? From who?
Yeah, what does it matter? It's not like theyre real humans with lives or anything. because non-western lives aren’t actually real to you; thousands, millions, tens of millions, whatever - it’s all just fictional to you, like the size of armies in fantasy books.
Tell me again how every Muslim in Xinjiang would be better off dead, how the genocide in Gaza is just prattle and whataboutism, and how numbers of dead don't matter. Funny how "every single one is to many" doesn't apply to the West, they can kill by the million and you'll forgive them.
Oh my God.... Please tell me this is a bit.
nice projection
What? Please try to write properly, your sentences are barely decipherable. No one has said anything about Xinjiang concentration camps being better or worse than Gaza.
Again, no one has claimed that. What are you talking about?
I'm not assuming anything, I based this on what you said. Whereas I have clearly expressed a more nuanced view, thus you're, again, not making any sense.
I did not say that, although I know for a fact that some of the kidnapped and incarcerated people that are not allowed to see their family and to speak their language would rather be dead.
I never said that, do you know what whataboutism is?
They matter to me, but clearly not to you.
Honestly, this is the last time I reply to you if you keep making shit up. Every single person killed is one too many, it does not matter who does the killing. Is that clear enough for you?
"That's projection!" Isn't actually some universal rebuttal you can just throw at everything. I gave a very specific explanation of why I said you don't consider them human.
It's a perfectly legible sentence, please don't pretend to be illiterate to avoid having to acknowledge rebuttals. Particularly if you're going to immediately acknowledge that you did actually know what I said
Well now you're resorting to straight up lying about demonstrated facts.
Well now you're resorting to straight up lying about demonstrated facts.
What, specifically, did I say that you are basing it off?
Well now you're resorting to straight up lying about demonstrated facts.
Yet you were still able to articulate a reply.
Well now you're resorting to straight up lying about demonstrated facts.
A fact? You know that for a fact? How exactly do you know that for a fact? Sounds like you just lying again, like you lied about the "over a million" number (and then quickly went quiet when asked to present your source)
Well now you're resorting to straight up lying about demonstrated facts.
You literally said they don't.
You're directly contradicting yourself.
Do you want to try that again, but legible?
done
