Capitalism is the extraordinary belief that the nastiest of men for the nastiest of motives will somehow work together for the benefit of all. - John Maynard Keynes (lemmygrad.ml)

So you didn't actually have any criticism or anything to say? You just wanted to drop some casual holocaust denial, walk it back, and be an ass?

You walked it back immediately but you absolutely did. Where did I blatantly lie?

Okay I'm gonna stop acting nice because it's completely pointless.

I don't think calling the persecution of the Uyghurs unprecedented is technically wrong, but I rowed back to avoid getting into an unnecessary semantic argument that completely misses the point as we have

This is absolutely fucking moronic and the best I can make of it is that you're trying to say "I can technically claim anything is unprecedented because time is linear and therefore anything that ever happens is unprecedented." which is the dumbest fucking reddit-brained shit I can imagine.

The bit where you lied is when you said I denied the Holocaust, which was also a implicit admission on your side that China are in fact committing genocide right now.

The bit where you said China is carrying out human rights abuses on an unprecedented scale is fucking holocaust denial because pretending that a "cultural genocide" where neither the UN nor even the most ardent propagandists at the US state department claim that a single person has been killed is worse than THE SYSTEMIC MURDER OF MILLIONS OF PEOPLE is fucking disgusting.

I haven't even touched the fact that all your arguments are completely made up, you're a fucking holocaust denier even in your own made up scenario.

Don't you people ever get tired of confirming every single stereotype about anglos?

You're absolutely right. You never outright denied the Holocaust, you only belittled it. You're a Holocaust belittler and you can't possibly argue against that. The best thing you can say at this point is "I belittled the Holocaust and it's victims by claiming that China is carrying out human rights abuses on an unprecedented scale. That was wrong of me." Us scum and pieces of shit, as you call us, usually group downplaying the severity of the Holocaust together with Holocaust denial.

You use inflammatory and exaggerated language, probably because you're racist, definitely because you are ignorant. You repeat nonsense you've heard and probably even make some lies up yourself and justify it by thinking "It's okay to lie a little, they're our enemies.".
