  • that’s around when the U.S. line on China shifted from normalization into Cold War 2.0.

    I’m surprised we’re low on alternative ideas lol. I’m just as curious what caused the peak as I am to what caused the drop. Maybe Cold War 2.0 mode was a reaction to the peak?

    It’ll be interesting to see how the U.S. adaptations of The Three-Body Problem portray China.

    I enjoyed Three-Body (2023), best case scenario would be Netflix make a faster paced version, worst (and most likely) scenario is you get a wacky caricature, like Wang Miao is a highschooler who has to defeat both the anti-Christ and overthrow the PRC before prom or w/e.




















  • But of course, if you define “genocide” as “thing that I’m willing to politically accept is a genocide”, it’s very easy to pretend someone isn’t a genocide denialist.

    Aren’t you just doing the opposite [insert whatever logical fallacy]? The Holocaust is established historical fact with strong consensus among historians. Most of the other relevant alleged genocides that alleged tankies are allegedly denying have a much different degree of geopolitical contention and consensus.

    What is the purpose of denying the Holocaust? Outside of the middle-east, it’s almost always a white supremacist or antisemitic agenda.

    What is the purpose of denying the Uyghur genocide? There’s no equivalent incentive. Nobody is denying the Uyghur genocide on the basis of race ideology. The narrative of the Uyghur genocide is purely a construct of NATO Imperialist/Colonialist rhetoric to the tankies. They absolutely do not deny the genocide for the purpose of advancing a genocidal agenda.

    Horseshoe theory does not apply.
