What's most annoying about this is Dessalines acting as if Muslims are a monolith (which itself is lowkey racist and dehumanizing to treat entire demographics as monoliths) and as if dictators speak for their people. Have they never considered the possibility that Muslim countries haven't denounced the genocide because their leaders have material incentives to deny it? I mean lord knows the US has officially denied genocides for the sake of geopolitical self-interest.

Plus, we have extensive satellite imagery of these concentration camps. This site shows details on almost 400 concentration camps, all clearly visible as prison-like facilities. I just clicked a random one and got this:

Man, I'm starting to think this platform ain't for me. Lots of unhinged folks here.

A lot of tankies are just arguing "noooo, my """communist""" country can't be doing something wrong!!!"

But some are making the genuine argument that these are "just" internment camps and so its not actually a genocide. Which is honestly a fair argument. We don't tend to claim that the US internment of the Japnese during WW2 was genocide. Just horrible and racist.

Although the argument he uses about Islamic countries not caring is bullshit, because 1 those countries commit their own atrocities against their civilians so they're nit exactly running on morality. And 2 they get a lot of support from China so its in there best interest to not piss them off.

Is he a lemmy developer or lemmy.ml admin Big difference there
