If China is authoritarian and censors all information that makes China look bad, and spreads propaganda to other countries that those Governments are spreading propaganda to make China look bad and China isn't actually bad, does it matter what is motivating the US to say "China Bad" when they objectively are?

I would be sympathetic if the Uyghur stuff was true.

This is denial, plain and simple.

It is not everyone else's job to provide this ignoramus sources on the facts of the matter when we are all communicating on the internet where those facts can be found. Especially when no source can possibly be good enough when "they haven't seen anything convincing yet" even though everyone but China and their allies are saying the same damn thing, including people who have fled China, and they are only referencing US sources.

Let's use some simple logic here, bub.

I don’t think that being uninformed is denying genocide and I think it’s antisocial, divisive, and not beneficial to any of us to treat it as if it is.

I don't think deleting the parent comment so context is lost is good practice. I think it is antisocial, divisive, and not beneficial to any one who wants to keep up with the conversation.

But you did it anyways. Like how OP explicitly denied a genocide is happening.

Both things happened, and that's a fact.

I deleted it before I had any responses because I regretted posting it, and yknow what, I’m allowed to do that.

No, you deleted it after you had responses hence why it got responses. You then edited your other comment with this:

As some people have already pointed out, it’s far more useful to pont out why there is not much information available.

To somebody seeing this from the outside and not being aware of the issue, I learned a lot from some of the comments in this thread, but I learned absolutely fucking nothing from that comment linking the wiki page for genocide denial. This is why I don’t fucking like that response. Sure that guy may be sealioning and acting in bad faith, but the comment is public and is for everyone seeing it just as much as it’s for the person it’s responding to.

After I replied.

It is obvious what you are doing and now that I pointed it out for others coming by I have no need to interact with you further.
