      Oh okay I can’t tell when Hexbear users are being stupid on purpose and when it’s by accident. It all looks equally asinine to me. Is it also a bit when you say the Uyghur genocide doesn’t exist?

        No, because it doesn’t. You can literally hop on a plane and go there, right now, and see with your own eyes that Uyghur culture is alive and thriving.

        Genocide in Gaza, on the other hand, is quite real. You can try to hop on a boat to go see it, but the perpetrators will kidnap you before you get there.

          Yeah, see, the way you’re talking right now looks exactly the same to me as the “no politik” comment

            yes, we know you’re not very smart and also have no idea what hexbear is like (which is why you make up silly shit in your head instead)

                What kind of dumbass point are you trying to make? “I’m broke, therefore there’s a genocide in Xinjiang?”

                  I’m broke, therefore telling me to go to Xinjiang isn’t evidence. Like, okay, you’re an ml user, so you’re going to need an example. Let me make a similar argument.

                  Saturn has a breathable atmosphere! Take a rocket and see for yourself.

                  See how you don’t have a rocket, so you can’t go to Saturn, so my comment therefore doesn’t have any evidence in it? Now pretend Xinjiang is Saturn, and then you’ll understand my rebuttal.

                    The idea that your personal finances affect whether there is a genocide is obviously absurd. If you were blind would all visual evidence be invalid?

                    but the claim “saturn has air on it” is like “there’s genocide in xinjiang”. you have to bring some evidence for it to be considered. but you dont have that evidence, you just have this vague impression you picked up from US propaganda (mainly zenz), which you never critically evaluated because you automatically think china bad (because of previous US propaganda campaigns) and thus believe every bad thing about them.

                    btw, even the west has mostly dropped this shit years ago, because it became embarrassingly clear that they were lying. please update your programming.

            I’m deadly serious. Five hundred bucks, hop on a plane from LAX to Guangzhou, then grab a cheap connection to Xinjiang. There’s some great food in Hami. Try the snow melon.

            I’d suggest hopping on a plane to go check out Gaza, but the occupiers destroyed all the airports. blob-no-thoughts
