Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!

It's not hard to find evidence, Mr. The-genocide-I-care-about-negates-all-other-genocides-taking-place. It's freaking hilarious to be spuriously called a denier, by someone actually denying a genocide. That was the laugh I had, and continue to have.

If you read the article, it's talking about a 2-year anniversary of some deliberation made by UN, not about any new evidence of anything. There's a claim of "hundreds of thousands still remain wrongfully imprisoned", but I beg you to find a source for that because the article doesn't provide any... because it's not true. The focus of the article is "there's been no punishment yet on any Chinese officials, and the laws are still in place". No (sourced) metrics of people suffering any abuses, nothing, just a general condemnation without evidence. Did you even read it?

Here's another quote from last month:

China still has “many problematic laws and policies” regarding the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region two years after the UN human rights office, OHCHR, published a report on serious violations against the Uyghur and other predominantly Muslim communities, a spokesperson said on Tuesday. -https://news.un.org/en/story/2024/08/1153621

Like I said, it's not hard to find damning info, despite Chinese autocratic crackdown on free press and news. Then again, I figured you'd try to discount the source no matter what came up or where it's from. I get it. You're some strange China apologist. A disgusting stance from someone who is so quick to damn one genocide, but excuse others. And seemingly ignores even others. I'm done with you and your "genocide denier" (to quote you) idiocy.
