If the global times is saying it. I mean it is the english language paper of the Chinese Communist Party why in the world should they don’t say nothing but the truth about human rights violations in China.
Feel free to look up whichever western media slop trough you want for their profoundly butthurt takes on it, it the investigation and its findings are an easily verifiable fact. They have far more credibility on the topic of human rights violations than the US and our lackeys, they have an obvious motive to care for the wellbeing of muslims internationally whereas we have a long and extremely well documented history of bombing and torturing muslims. More importantly we have fuck all for evidence to contradict their findings, and thousands more international visitors to Xinjiang every year to confirm that it’s just more US atrocity propaganda. No WMDs in Iraq, no genocide in China.
You’re countering “muslims of the world unite to investigate in person and call bullshit on US accusations” with “here’s more of the same US accusations with the same absolutely fucking nothing for evidence”
Muslims of the world?
The arab league are not the muslims of the world. They are a political entity with their own goals, especially when it comes to China. But lets face it, there is nothing I can show you that will you convince that the turkic minorities in the Peoples Republic of China face daily human rights violations by the goverment of the Peoples Republic of China. Just know that you are practicing something akin to genocide denial. I say akin because there is still no agreement if what is happening to the Uyghurs is a genocide or only severe human rights violations.
Revolution is the only way left-wing governments have historically been solidified. Bolivia tried the democratic process, and this failed, so now a potential revolution is brewing as clashes between the far-right and the primarily indigenous socialists are erupting. Allende tried the democratic process in Chile, and was coup’d for it.
Who cares? I’m not talking about how they get solidified. I’m talking about what they do when they have power. If someone supports violent left wing regimes, then they are a Tankie. If you don’t think that the regimes are violent beyond their revolutions, then that wouldn’t imply one way or another whether you are a Tankie.
So we are back to square one: since all leftist states are the result of revolution, it is definitionally correct that “tankies” are those who support socialist states. All states are tools by which the ruling classes retain their dominance, in socialism this is the working class. Therefore, all states are inherently violent, and trying to label some as uniquely violent misses the entire point of the state, a monopoly on violence.
Me: googles tankie
I didn’t know what it was until recently either. I learned when they started telling me about how Uhygur human rights violations were a hoax.
You’ll run into them on Lemmy eventually. The creators of Lemmy are Tankies and they run Lemmy.ml
They’re right
If the global times is saying it. I mean it is the english language paper of the Chinese Communist Party why in the world should they don’t say nothing but the truth about human rights violations in China.
And the party’s final and most important command was to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears.

Alright.
How about reports of severe human rights violations of the goverment of the Peoples Republic of China against the Uyghurs and other turkic minorities from 2022 (https://news.un.org/en/story/2022/08/1125932) and 2026 (https://www.ohchr.org/en/press-releases/2026/01/un-experts-alarmed-reports-forced-labour-uyghur-tibetan-and-other-minorities).
Furthermore reports by both Amnesty (https://www.amnesty.org/en/latest/news/2025/08/china-still-no-accountability-for-crimes-against-humanity-in-xinjiang-three-years-after-major-un-report/) and Human Rights Watch (https://www.hrw.org/news/2026/04/20/repression-of-uyghurs-persists-as-the-world-moves-on) .

You absolute goddamned clown

You’re losing and you know it
It’s a pejorative for those who support existing socialist states.
A tankie is anyone who supports violent left wing regimes. It requires support of violence and doesn’t require that the regime still exists.
Violence of the oppressed vs violence of the oppressor
All revolutions are inherently violent, so again, this just circles back to supporting socialist states.
No one said anything about revolution.
Yes we did dumbass, we literally never shut up about it
It’s not relevant to this thread. Also, shut your mouth.
It is relevant, you’re just mad because you’re losing, make me lol

No. I explicitly rejected that interpretation in the very comment you are responding to. Can you read?
