      The Iraqi propaganda was hastily produced to justify a war. The Uyghur situation has been uncovered by journalists slowly over decades.

      I thought your links would be to any of the dozens of images, articles, and videos on the Uyghur situation. Why not link a debunking of that instead of trying to assert that because lies exist that the Uyghur ethnocide is also a lie. Your argument is weak because facts won’t support it.

        Since you sound like an expert who has really done your homework here, let’s see some of these stunning pictures you’re talking about and then compare them to photos from America’s prisons. I wonder which will look worse? Doesn’t the USA also lock up far more people per capita than China?

          As a point of comparison the US has hands down the most violent and oppressive carceral system in the west by a huge margin, and they can’t keep people from broadcasting audio and video from inside the prison even when the pigs have the whole place locked down to hide the atrocities being comitted from the world.

        Uncovered over decades? It seems like decades in internet years but the first reports started in 2014, less than 9 years ago.

          Damn, I wonder when the US released the last Uyghur detainees from Guantanamo Bay?

        It was more too discount the fact that either of those things are conclusive evidence in some way. Idk where you’re getting “slowly over decades” from because the entire story is barely 9 years old. All of the “journalism” on the subject is just people regurgitating stuff from Adrian Zenz, a dude claims he was “led by God to fight China” and works for a nonprofit that claims COVID-19 deaths and German WWII casualties count as victims of communism. Hardly a reliable source.
