  • I do not deem Uyghur Genocide as real, that is the first thing. The second would be a pretty great report from OIC which was released in 2019.:

    https://www.oic-oci.org/docdown/?docID=4447&refID=1250

    “Welcomes the outcomes of the visit conducted by the General Secretariat’s delegation upon invitation from the People’s Republic of China; commends the efforts of the People’s Republic of China in providing care to its Muslim citizens; and looks forward to further cooperation between the OIC and the People’s Republic of China.”

    What is funnier is the same people who funded the extremists groups such as ETIM to destabilize the region in the 90s, have called the efforts to stop that a genocide. These people being the US government, but in 2021 they decided to roll back on these claims:

    The U.S. State Department’s Office of the Legal Advisor concluded earlier this year that China’s mass imprisonment and forced labor of ethnic Uighurs in Xinjiang amounts to crimes against humanity—but there was insufficient evidence to prove genocide, placing the United States’ top diplomatic lawyers at odds with both the Trump and Biden administrations, according to three former and current U.S. officials.

    If you wish for further reading, I would love to provide.


  • “Uyghur Times, a Washington, DC-based media organization, is dedicated to telling the truth about China and its policies toward the Uyghur people.”

    Hmmm, I wonder why would they be in Washington DC? Publishing articles headed with AI thumbnails. While also not disclosing their finances.

    They also have a great article downplaying the Islamic State and the TIP in Syria. Which has participated in the widespread massacres of Syrian Alawites. (TIP is ETIP but rebranded)

    Never mind the article content itself.

    Russians are stupid animals that have been brainwashed and can’t think of their politics

    You might as well bring out the calipers already!

    It is very funny that you decided to stop arguing because cowbee is “delusional” and their belief stems from years and years of misinformation. They provided their sources while you only used wikipedia throughout this whole thing and personal anecdotes.

    Aside from naming China as imperialist. What I am interested in the idea of Russia wanting to rebuild the soviet union. I have no idea how you got to it, but the Putin government is more aligned with the spirit of the Russian Empire. In no way they want to come back to soviet union any more than to claim the nostalgia behind it and the achievements associated with it.

    Sorry, but I cannot find the copy pasta. Maybe I am wrong, would be glad to see where it is. Propaganda is a wide range of things, your post too is propaganda.

    And to be frank, you too are wasting your time by posting this if we start talking time, in four months you have posted 3.41k posts, that is approximately 1.2 posts per hour of your oh so valuable time. That does not include the 1.7 comments per hour in four months two.

    You are acting very childish, I have no idea what am I doing to provoke you to do as such.

    Can you say what exactly is so funny about them? What I am seeing is a well written argument against you, to which you haven’t responded. Are you planning to? Are you going to continue to ignore it while displaying quite the childish behavior?

    Vote

    New Zealand, Finland and the USSR were the first to make that a reality. Spearheaded by trade union movements and communists.

    Work

    The Soviet Union was the first country to establish legal equality in pay and employment for women, and then followed by the PRC and the wide amount of time of socdem movement in the nordic countries.

    File for divorce

    France was the first, with the french revolution. Then came the Soviet Union and after it the PRC.

    Buy a credit card

    To be honest this is absurd, but indeed the US was the first as far as I can remember. Having the right to drown in debt is good i guess.

    Buy a home or a car

    US and UK did indeed pioneer that, but it was with more focus on married women. Actual acts focused just on women were implemented by the Soviet Union with collective property and gender equality laws.

    Driver’s license

    There were little to no formal bans for that, social stigma was and is real though. Still an issue.

    Pregnant and not get fired

    USSR pioneered that in 1918, with labor codes protecting working mothers. Followed by the nordic socdem movement and the US only in the 1978

    Husband can go to jail for beating you

    USSR again, was the first to criminalize domestic battery in 1918. Although enforced unevenly it was legally punishable. Western Europe and the Northern America started it in 1970s with implementation continued to 1990s.

    Many of the achievements listed are not of liberalism or neoliberalism, they were achievements of activists and unions working in a group to protect their collective interests. In many of the cases it was the Soviet Union with the revolution spearheading these rights, because the revolution itself was started by working class women. The nordics followed with their own social democrat feminist movement. In many things the PRC came before the neoliberal states in achievements of women’s rights, and that is a state that was ravaged by war and imperialism for years. Liberalism gave little to nothing, it maintained the hierarchies, and silenced the movement. Both democrats and republicans both do not care about women’s rights. They are both parties of the same right wing on the fascist eagle.
