    Xinjiang, Inner Mongolia and Tibet are all Colonies of China, which it treats as Colonial Territories, by -

    Forcibly destroying the local culture. Forcefully extracting to harm of the locals. Genocide, abuse, kidnapping, rape.

    But there is no point in engaging to you. You are a liar. You know you are. When you deny genocides, you put yourself on the same side as the fascists and reactionaries of the past.

        You are a fascist under no new name, just good old fascist.

          @gary_host_laptop @cavemeat I’ll do you one better:

          Anyone I disagree with is a fascist.

            I feel like our focus on the 20th century really limits our understanding of the depths of human depravity.

            This is an image of two Assyrian soldiers forcing a captured Babylonian to grind the bones of his family.

            And you might say “Wow, that’s a really mean thing to say about the Assyrians!” No, this is them bragging about doing it in immortal stone form.

            This wasn’t printed out on a laser printer, it wasn’t etched using a laser engraver. It probably took weeks or months to lovingly create this work. They were really proud of their depravity and wanted to share it with the world.

              @sj_zero @cavemeat @gary_host_laptop @realcaseyrollins The new world was more civilized before Europeans showed up, right?

              Uh, nope.

              Most people who casually hate on Christianity have never lived outside the Christian morality bubble. And would not live long if they tried.

              @sj_zero @cavemeat @gary_host_laptop @realcaseyrollins That’s how absolutely awful the Babylonians were.

              Expect parallels with the modern degeneracy movements.

            I didn’t even say that about him directly. He’s straight up been parroting the same things I’ve been hearing for years, just with a fresh coat of paint. Supporting authoritarian regimes is fascist, regardless of the “side” its from (and no, I don’t support the US’s imperialism). Now, you can argue over my definition, but that’s a slightly different topic.

              @cavemeat I agree, I’m just generally laughing at the constantly mudslinging of calling people you don’t like fascists. Both of you guys are quite different so calling each other fascist really dilutes any meaning of the word

                If you agree, why do you say that I’m diluting the word? Someone parroting it isn’t the same thing, I would think.
