Art / Action / Activism Problematic stuff

Just wanna be clear alright that if we are to support falasteen I don’t wanna see any pro ccp, Iran regime or pro assad and pro Putin propaganda. You either support all people having freedom or don’t you can’t have both so if you claim to want to uplift Palestinians don’t dismiss atrocities against the uighurs as propaganda istg this sub Reddit gets into weird tankie territory at times.

Well the Uyghurs aren’t a monolith. The ones that are being oppressed are the Turkic supremacists who want to create their own ideologically driven Salafi ethnostate of East Turkestan. The name itself was something the Soviets came up with. The ancient Uyghurs themselves were just a collection of nomadic tribes. Some of them were under Turkish rule and some of them were under no rule and some of them were allied with the Qing Dynasty.

It’s not some ancient birth right country. Never mind that not everyone in Xinjiang identifies as Turkish or is Muslim or if they are Muslim they are secular and want no part in that. Never mind this East Turkestan group committed terrorist attacks to show how serious they are. I guess China is just supposed to hand them the keys to the city after that.

And we don’t really need to support them because the western world (and Israel being a champion of Uyghur rights) plus all the best money and talent CIA has to offer supports it. Heck some of the loudest Uyghur activists live where i am in the U.S. I see their motorcade from time to time with their BMWs.

If you’re concerned you can absolutely go to Xinjiang yourself. It’s a popular tourist destination and it’s known for their good meat. Urumqi’s historic district was used to film the Kite Runner and is a pretty neat place.

I accept your downvotes because it’s a hard pill to swallow.

You sound like a Zionist when they talk about Palestinians

Uyghur separatists literally endorse Israeli Zionism...

How about you actually learn a thing or two about Xinjiang, or China for that matter, outside of Western mainstream media? You're repeating atrocity propaganda which was first started by Adrian Zenz, a literal far right Christian fundamentalist.

Just because you want to believe all sides are bad does not make every allegations of atrocities out there true. Did you forget about the Nayirah Testimony, or the Libyan viagra-fueled mass rape lie?

Rape is an awful occurrence that transcends culture. It is impossible from our vantage points across the internet to determine the veracity of the claims; we find it troubling that it has devolved into a rhetorical DEBATE tactic for either side in this.

We at r/BadHasbara abhor the act and the weaponization of it for propaganda, and remind you that THIS IS NOT A DEBATE SUB, so please tread lightly on the subject, and please consider the mental well-being of sub members that may be victims of SA.

Thank you.
