Yeah just because they build cages for kids in the desert near the border doesn’t mean anything’s going to happen! It’s just optional infrastructure in case you want to put your kids in a cage. It’s totally voluntary.

LGBTQ laws in Iran, Pakistan, Iraq, Afghanistan pre CIA-installation of the taliban, anywhere in the ‘muslim’ world that Christian extremists didn’t settle, sorry, that ‘missionaries’ didn’t do ‘outreach’ in. Even Syria had a period of acceptance in the 1980s before, you know, the thing happened.

Islam teaches to love all your brothers and sisters, even when they ‘sin,’ as long as that sin is self-indulgent instead of harmful to others it’s generally fine. Any country accurately implementing Shariah generally has leniency if not acceptance towards LGBTQ people… as long as they live in traditional gender roles. In Iran, for instance, it is illegal to be gay, as in its illegal to live as a man and sleep with men. But if you’re ‘trans’ and live as a woman, you’re golden. You will literally have state protection. You just need to play the game as presented and you’re fine.

Now again this isn’t ideal and people should be accepted outside the narrow gender roles ingrained in Shariah, but compared to any area with a Christian majority where Christians have taken over the government, it’s pretty advanced.

The Jewish faith is inherently pro-LGBTQ, Christians would be if they followed the bible even slightly, and Muslims brought back the pro-LGBTQ that Christians abandoned during the puritan era.

This is mostly a myth based on Saudi Arabia and Wahhabist extremists. Most Muslim countries have explicit protections for specific letters in LGBTQ, and then its down to local (usually hyperlocal) culture for the rest. Generally speaking (because ‘Muslim Countries’ covers 1/3rd of countries on the planet) as long as you conform to some traditional gender role, even if it wasn’t what was assigned at birth, you’re going to be okay. Yes that means living more as a woman than a man if you happen to be a gay man that likes to receive, which is fucked up, but it’s not death.

It’s really when you try to break the binary you tend to get in trouble, again as a generality. Some embrace a third gender simply because they’re more traditionalist than Muslim, and some like saudi arabia do ban pretty much all non-heteronormative expression.

Turn off transcoding and/or unify the codecs on your totally legally acquired library that you legally ripped yourself.

Linux is a secure operating system, windows is not. Making kernel level anti-cheat for Linux is difficult, and should be functionally impossible; as kernel level anticheat is absolutely no different than malware in its attack vector on the kernel. This means, for lazy dev teams, they can’t implement the laziest possible method of anticheat, which they get upset about since they have lost all ability to actually have anti-cheat teams.

A popular myth about the Chinese revolution is that Mao’s government ordered the execution of landlords. This is entirely incorrect. Mao actually insisted on nonviolence towards the ownership class that complied with the revolution so that systematic and non-violent justice could be done as a show to the world the new government weren’t just violent peasants throwing a fit; but rather prove that peasants, when given power, would act more fairly than those that ruled before.

Despite this push from all official sources to NOT kill landlords, with assurances from Mao’s government that renters would be free to make legal claims on the land they’ve historically rented and their landlords would be legally punished, the people, when given the opportunity, decided to kill their landlords en masse.

Some of these landlords, undoubtedly, were “fair” landlords. Some were undoubtedly “able to keep rent tolerable.”

All of them were leeches on society, and society, when given the freedom to express their true feelings of reality, understand these leeches need to be physically removed from this plane of existence.

People generally do not have it in them to kill others. It’s one of the few things people cannot generally just do. It requires someone to be pushed, punished, tortured, sometimes for years or for someone to pose that same immediate danger.

Landlords will always fall into one of those categories.

If it would be something that’s needed, that would improve humanity in anyway, maybe.

But here’s the problem, these will kill off entire ecosystems. The installation alone will do that, but also whatever anti-corrosion, anti-growth coating on the outside that has to be somehow maximally thermally conductive will do that. The ocean is alive, it wants to be alive, and that life destroys metal and organic matter. It also just eats through petroleum products and every single type of coating we have invented.

So no matter what these will be coated in some toxic paint, that will need to be frequently reapplied, like within 6 months of application, because we want to keep thermal conductivity and barnacles and various other sealife are what I would think everyone can agree are ‘insulating’ layers.

So where-ever these are will have an entire town built up around them for the constant maintenance; which again involves constantly killing off everything that grows around them and on them, while leeching toxic materials to the environment.

Yes that is the point of the propaganda being pointed out in the meme. To get the perception incongruent with reality. Good job!

This isn’t native fetishization, this is literally fighting climate change. Most native plants have survived far worse fluxations than anything that will happen in our lifetime (and I am a believer we’ll have a BOE by 2030), additionally this reduces water use, fertilization use, with the addition of the obvious less fuel use.

Yes, you will have to give up your almonds, which are killing California, and avacados, which are devastating communities across South America. Too bad. Native plants are literally designed over the last 200k years or more to be where they are. That includes more than one ice age.

Or just use local alternatives that are less harsh on their local ecosystem? No one needs olive oil, especially if you’re in the Americas where there’s a thousand plants able to produce more oil per acre, most of which are pretty tasty. Avocados are an anomaly in the plant world given they are a fatty fruit, but their water requirements make growing them outside the literal rainforests they were domesticated in a nightmare – there are no large scale avocado farms that are in their native climate, they should be eliminated from all international diets.

And while bananas are neat, there are significantly better sources of potassium, and there’s a native tuber producing more potassium than any banana in every single continent if not every single country.

The reason a lot of vegetables have become just so bland and samey is because we are importing non-native plants to places and just ignoring local, native alternatives that have been growing there, statistically in a domesticated way, for the last 10,000 years.

Native plants are awesome, usually a lot more tasty than the bland super spread counterparts, and are easier to farm with less fertilizer and less maintenance like pest spray – since they’ve been fighting off local bugs and competitors since before humans touched the ground.

Which parts, specifically, do you disagree with? And can your source the evidence that lead you to this from sources other than the National Endowment for Democracy?

You can just say you’ve never read any theory, you know.

Then leave, nazi.

Some political ideologies and opinions are objectively not okay to exist in modern society, and those who hold those opinions should be eliminated. This isn’t a controversial opinion outside a tiny bubble in the US who think deep down every nazi is just a misunderstood cash cow waiting to be secreted away by the CIA.

Amnesty.org is a US Government organization created by Cold War era Intelligence agents. It is not an internationally recognized neutral organization and has no history of neutrality. They magically find issues with anyone that the US deems as an enemy, but has never criticized the US.

HRRC I’ve never heard of, but for a generic NGO that appeared out of no where that posts opinion articles that contradict their own sources, they aren’t off to a good start. Also not an official organization of anywhere.

USHMM Hosts no sources, has no researchers on staff, has no direct connections to china, and appears to be israeli owned and operated so nothing they’ve ever said or posted is likely to be true.

A) BlueMAGA exclusively refers to the 'Vote Blue no Matter Who" Crowd. It was a leftist term before you liberals even knew what MAGA was.

B) There is no forced sterilization found. Some was alleged at one point, but there has never been evidence, including production of the individuals who claimed this happened, ever. The only source for this was anonymous reports from Radio Free Asia, the CIA propaganda outlet that also purports to believe China is stealing white children from tourists.

C) Family Separation, aka taking kids into state care when their parents are arrested. This has been the only confirmed cases where this has happened, according to the report that I linked.

D) Sexual Violence possibly happened… as it does in all criminal justice systems. We don’t know, there is no evidence of this, including production of anyone that has ever claimed this happened to them; but yes this is the most probable ‘abuse’ that exists. If you give prison guards power and privacy, they rape. This is true in every single country on Earth and is a reason that eventually justice systems need to be abolished.

E) Forced Labor, aka, what every single country on earth does with prisoners during rehabilitation. Every single one. There isn’t a prison system where this doesn’t happen. It’s part of every psychologist’s recommendation for correcting criminal behavior.

F) “Illegal deportation” isn’t a thing that can happen.

G) ‘Cultural Genocide’ is a thing thanks to the US definition of genocide, but even that’s not actually being alleged since, you know, you can visit Xinjiang and actually speak Uyghur to nearly anyone there. It’s taught in every school in the region to all persons in the region, along with mandatory cultural festivals for students. Same as Cantonese being taught in that region, Tibetan taught in that region, and Mongolian taught in that region. Because of these facts no one even tries to claim cultural genocide anymore, and it doesn’t fit any other possible definition of genocide.

Was the response to a half decade of terror attacks a bit extreme? Maybe, that’s subjective. And not something anyone in the US or Europe can criticize, given you people responded to terror attacks by killing 2+ million Arabs.

I did, extensively when it came out. That’s not genocide.

If you actually cared to read the report what they allege they found is ‘systemic arrests of families of captured Uyghur terrorists,’ that ‘have nothing to do with their family member’s terrorism,’ and were held ‘without bond until trial.’ No genocide. No systemic abuse of all uyghurs. Less than 1% of an extremely small population involved.

Given CHINA WAS VIOLENTLY ATTACKED FOR HALF A DECADE BY TURKISH UYGHURS PAID BY THE CIA, you might understand why families of those terrorists were, you know, investigated arrested and rehabilitated in the off chance they too were a part of a terror organization.

That plus the multi-hundred billion dollar investment in Xinjiang resulting in one of the largest, fastest decreases in poverty rates in world history is why China hasn’t had another terror attack despite being bordered with Turkey, where the terror organization still exists.

No not in the US. While most Americans (~70%) are within 10 miles (16km) of a grocery store as foreigners would recognize them, the other 30% have either a Dollar General or Family Dollar. Just those two choices. Sometimes both if they’re lucky. For ~10% of Americans they are 30 miles (48km) or more from a grocery store and usually 10 miles from a dollar store.

With rising gas prices and the lack of infrastructure across the majority (>80%) of landmass in the US, many rural Americans have to have 4x4 vehicles in order to just drive to their job and back, so an extra ~3 gallons of gas for groceries doesn’t make sense as anything but a monthly expense; and even then statistically the only thing they could get to is a Walmart which is the most common grocery store in the United States; or just as bad a Kroger Brand company or Albertson’s brand company. Those are the three grocery stores that statistically exist for >95% of the US population, and theoretically if you’re banned from one in a specific brand family you’re banned from all in that brand family.

Sure. Here’s the UN.

In fact, here’s all claims made to the UN, the assessments and recommendations of investigative bodies, and all specific recommendations to China regarding alleged human rights abuses. By a Uyghur rights group. None of which calls anything China has done as genocide. Because it is a CIA-funded Uyghur rights group, it does call counter terrorism of the internationally recognized terrorist organization known as the East Turkestan Party ‘cultural oppression.’ But even that slant is hollow when they actually link to the OHCHR reports which show, at worst, some family members directly internationally recognized as linked to known terrorists and that are actually on the no-fly list in the US were arrested and put into rehabilitation after the terror attacks.

Edit: And to be clear, I just did the impossible by proving a negative. In all logic and debate it is on the claimant to prove their case. next time have proof.

Link me one official organization that calls it a genocide and is not a part of a country that considers itself explicitly at war with China. I’ll wait.
