I’ve been trying to find a good Marxist instance, but Lemmygrad and Hexbear are widely hated. Why is that? Are there any good leftist instances?

    Do you have a source for this? Last I looked into the Uighur genocide, it was being reported by well-respected outlets (not faith healers and flat earthers) and had photos of people being marched into camps.

    So for it to suddenly be “all made up” sounds rather far-fetched to me.

      Extremely polite way to say “complete bullshit”. Perhaps it’s necessary for the left now to say that China hasn’t committed genocide when the same people are accusing Israel of commiting genocide because they are allegedly doing a tiny fraction of what China has provably done. In some sense to a similar group of people.

              🙄 Don’t act like you were actually going to look at it, nobody who asks for sources on the internet actually gives a shit about the source, they’re just doing it to waste the other person’s time and/or respond with some variety of “that’s a bad source” or “I’m still not convinced”

              It’s like a tic, liberals will go “Source??” whenever they see something they don’t agree with, but then will guzzle down nazi propaganda like it’s a fact because it aligns with what they already believe. I have literally never seen them actually respect the time put into finding the source.

                I asked for it because I knew it was bullshit you couldn’t back up with a source that didn’t exist. Before I commented, I searched for AP articles about it and found nothing, because it doesn’t exist.
