  • He agrees with it like you’d expect so no need to worry.

    Biden denounces ICC for ‘outrageous’ implication of equivalence between Israel and Hamas

    The Biden administration on Monday forcefully denounced efforts by the International Criminal Court to seek arrest warrants for top Israeli officials and Hamas leaders, saying the court’s efforts put the terrorist organization and a top US ally on equivalent footing.

    Regardless, he is the face of the US empire right now. Makes sense to have his pic when the US is doing something again



  • If you’re gonna be such a pedantic shitlib, should I edit the caption to be something from this article Linkerbaan mentioned? Since it’s about this incident specifically.

    Why go out of your way so much to try defending a fascist? Why do you have an image saved to defend this piece of shit?








  • It’s literally the most watched television program on the planet lmao.

    What about the limits on children under 18 from participating in religious activities?

    Preventing child abuse and indoctrination is very cool and good actually. Wish I wasn’t exposed to it as a kid.

    The demolition of religious sites?

    What? Xinjiang has some of the largest mosques in the world lol. And a pretty high ratio of mosques to Muslims (about as high as my own Muslim country’s actually).

    The requirement for religious leaders to register with the state?

    Good. If the capitalist Russian Federation also continued to suppress the church and its leaders like the USSR did and China does, so much of the population would not have become so religious and reactionary.

    What’s with this obsession with relating Uyghur culture to religion? Sure, so long as it’s only adults exposed to religions and it’s consensual, fine, but Xinjiang’s culture is much more than that, as are those of any region where religions are unfortunately still prevalent.

    Religions are generally in decline in every place that’s progressing economically, and Xinjiang is no exception. That’s a good thing.


  • Pretty normal (and necessary) to have a national language lol. 96% of Tibetans can speak their local language since it’s part of the curriculum, and Tibetan, Uyghur and other local cultures are highly promoted in Chinese media as mandated by the CPC.

    promote social harmony

    True and good.

    cultural erasure […] homogeneity

    Do you watch Chunwan? It’s the most watched media in China and its national television, where every year there are displays of traditional Uyghur culture in Xinjiang — dresses, dances, music, etc. Dilraba Dilmurat, the most popular celebrity in China, is of Uyghur descent and performs in those traditional garbs.

    Here’s one of her performances

    Claiming China is “suppressing Uyghur/Tibet culture” or other bs like that is hilarious nonsense to anyone who knows even a little about the country lmfao. If you don’t know about the country you’re speaking about, you should ask questions and look into it instead of parroting imperial core narratives.

    Didn’t think this would be a hot take

    You’re not on Reddit full of western liberals. Lemmy is a bit more lefty in comparison.
