Because the Tsar and the Chinese warlords and Battista and Imperial Japanese occupation where pillars of democracy before those countries' revolutions. Also like 90% of Chinese citizens are happy with their government, vs a sad 20% of Americans.

NGL, I play games off of Steam, which is easy mode. You can run the Windows game off of Proton, which is Valve's program for Windows to Linux gaming. Did you try right clicking on the game in Library, going to Properties, then Compatibility tab, then choosing Proton. Almost always the newest version of Proton (8.0-3) will do the trick. Rarely the experimental version or an older version is better.

Adding "gamemoderun %command%" [without the speech marks] to the launch options usually improves performance.

There's a bit of learning curve, but you can do it, comrade.

I've been using Mint OS for gaming and it's been perfectly fine. I probably can't play some burning edge, this year games, but everything else has been fine. And I'm free from Windows garbageware.

Also this is in the end of summer, when prices are going to be their lowest.

Yes, in hindsight, calling that genocide with no real evidence of direct killing is a bit too much.

👍

But the report I linked to mentioned coercive birth control and internment or imprisonment for violations of the family planning policy (page 35).

Your interpretation is much stronger than the report: 'but remained “seriously concerned about reported instances of the use of coercive measures, including forced abortion and forced sterilization, with a view to limiting births”'. I'm not even saying that it isn't happening. But if it was a massive problem, you'd think there'd be more than reports. There are mobile phones and foreign tourists in Xinjiang, it's not like the government would be able to forcibly abort 10% of babies there without someone taking a smartphone video of the abortion police coming to their home.

I'm reminded that forced sterilisation of minorities in the US is a known fact.

I choose lemm.ee specifically because of the conservative defed policy.

I'm legit sorry for all the drama and unpaid work the mods have to go through. Really.

I applaud OP for the the citations and research. I appreciate his linking to the UNHRC report, but nowhere in that report does it mention "genocide". I'd honestly like people to compare it to multiple UNHRC reports on US treatment of its black population.

I'm no expert, maybe China is taking an overly heavy hand in Xinjiang. But to call it a genocide when no evidence exists for mass killing, and when the US war on terror lead to 5 million actual deaths, is absurd projection and and diminishes the value of the word "genocide".

As someone who never used outside apps (maybe I should have), the mobile app was OK a year ago but it's barely usable now. I'm unsure if their code base is falling apart or they're not paying their server cost. But feck it's bad.

I know multiple Ukrainian men who are trying to leave or have already left. No sane person wants to stay in that shell of a country, and lose a leg to a Russian mine.

Western liberals, please ship yourself over there and die already. We don't need your Nazi apologies.
