      And then he said db0 was infested with tankies because we said that the UN and Amnesty International don’t call the Uyghur people being mistreated a genocide. We used the official terms used by official agencies, and that meant we deny genocide.

      When we agreed the Uyghurs were being mismanaged, but it wasn’t genocide because has serious implications and must be called as such when it happens (See: Palestinian, Armenian, Ukrainian), we’re somehow denying it, when international organizations don’t call it one.

        I mean, the tankies aren’t denying widespread famine or the mismanagement of Tienamin square, or reasonable criticism of Putin either. We do all have a hard time accepting even our own evidence that our own governments heavily propagandize us. Hearty disagreement may be healthy and productive, but plenty of listening and examining all available supporting and critical evidence, with plenty of time taken to consider and reconsider while asking thoughtful questions, perhaps before asking them would do us all good.
