what are your thoughts on the police files that just got leaked from xinjiang reeducation camps?

The ones from a supposed 'anonymous hacker' who's veracity was verified by... the Victims of Communism Memorial Foundation and Adrian Zenz, the ones who published them? What's that - we investigated if we were lying, and found ourselves to not be?

The same Adrian Zenz who says he's 'led by god' on a mission against China, whose prior research has already been torn to bits - his figure of a million supposed detainees coming from oral interviews with only eight people; his numbers showing an apparent alarming amount of IUD operations being a result of him literally just adding extra zeroes to a number 'accidentally' and implying, if given a second of thought, that every single woman in Xinjiang got a dozen IUD operations - this Adrian Zenz:

Adrian Zenz, who works for the surely-unbiased Victims Of Communism memorial foundation (which published this supposed 'leak'), an arm of the far-right Heritage Foundation.

All of which just-so-happens to come out as a UN delegation arrives in Xinjiang, surely ready to overshadow the reality that they, like every prior human rights delegation to the region, will not find a shred of evidence of what would be an incredibly gigantic, undeniable operation.

If such a terrible thing were really happening (without any apparent motive on the part of the Chinese government beyond Being Evil), wouldn't there be more clear evidence than blurry satellite pictures of schools and farms misidentified as concentration camps, random pictures of unrelated prisoners, and even Taiwanese BDSM footage rebranded to 'footage of torture in Xinjiang'?

Wouldn't someone, anyone with a shred more credibility than Adrian Zenz and the Victims Of Communism foundation be the original, primary source for any of the supposed leaks or studies that every article on Xinjiang traces back to?

We're already seeing the west in the midst of a propaganda war, where experts have said, openly, that the truth doesn't matter as much as making sure that what you're saying hurts The Enemy and helps The Good Guys - that misinformation can be a positive force, as long as you aim it at your enemy and believe it wholeheartedly - are we expected to just take them on good faith?

Most of the world isn't. The parts that are are the same ones in every map like this - the ones that don't recognise Palestine, the ones that oppose UN resolutions against glorifying neo-nazism, the ones that have 14% of the world's population but 73% of its wealth.

It's easy to say, thirty years later, that of course Iraqi soldiers weren't taking babies out of incubators, that of course they didn't have WMDs - but in the moment, in the churn, when you're caught up in the swell and you lose your bearings, it's a lot harder. If you notice you're on the side of the ones braying for war, and that they'll lie to get it, maybe that's a sign to rethink.

I understand why you'd believe it. If there's the slightest chance that this were really happening, I'd want to be one of the people who stood up. I wouldn't want to be someone who, in the pages of history, sat there, happily following the status quo as it committed terrible atrocities. The people in charge also understand, and they know that it's a powerful response. Atrocity propaganda is nothing new.

If you really care about standing on the right side of history, about actually opposing crimes against humanity while the world around you stands silent - then siding with the United States, the genocidal settler colony, the invader, the torturer, the armorer of apartheid, the boot on the neck of progress everywhere in the world; it's not the way to go.

Since Ling was mentioned, I figured I'd give him a try. I used some prompts from the Snooze chart for them.

Not to be rude, but Ling has a pretty since design compared to Ed. 🤣

@skittypretty, how's this? 🤭

I walk away,

Now my drink is poisoned.

I looked away,

They pulled a knife.

If i sleep,

They will choke me.

If they leave,

They will die.

My heart skips a beat,

I am dieing.

If the house burns down,

Can i save both cats?

If i touch this doorknob,

Their grossness will infest.

Every car is following me.

Everything is dirty.

If i sit on this,

Ill get stds.

Dumb hand sanitizer all over me.

Get rid of the greasy grossness on my skin.

Peel it off and wash it again.

Everything is contaminated.

Everything is dirty.

Everyone will get me sick.

Everyone i love will die.

Everyone is trying to kill me.

The doc calls it ocd.

Maybe i am just crazy...

Or maybe?

Have taken down that reblog of the anti-China propaganda debunking post because a mutual took a good look at the “leaked documents” and spotted several grammatical errors that imply they might be fake. He did clarify that he was able to find those same income figures quoted elsewhere, supposedly from an unnamed former colleague. Anyway i should have been a lot more careful but was over-eager for smth i could use to dispel what i fear is a growingly effective way of rallying USians against China thru bullshit. Really sorry about that

#adrian zenz really is a fucking piece of garbage though
