I forgot to set a reminder so I’m a little late getting to this, but here we are again:

Are you a “tankie”?

Respond “yes” or “no”, I’ll collate results later

This process is being undertaken to determine if so-called “tankies” are conspiring to make you (yes, you) have a bad time on the internet!

vague or informal answers will be interpreted by the central authority (me). Only top level comments will be counted. I will not be providing further instructions or clarifications.

Link to previous “are you a tankie?” thread

I’ll likely check back in a week, my old pc died so itll take a little bit of time to prettify the results and write a report

Ciao, and of course, imperialism must be destroyed.

    Lol, it was the very same “bear or man” but I just changed man with Muslim because that’s what you’re all being stupid about. The bear or man point stayed but mine got “moderated” for islamophobia. And yeah this “outright islamophobe” is against the concept of ethnic cleansing, wowe.

    While I appreciate you actually bringing up sources unlike that other asshole, I can’t really take you seriously throwing out claims like the first one.

    Now, I won’t admit I’m an expert and it’s a fairly way back event. But what I was told was that they basically corraled all those Muslims and didn’t let them practice their faith.

    Why can’t people admit countries do shitty things? It’s happened with mine, it’s happened with China and it’s happened with the US.

      Being islamophobic “ironically” doesn’t get a pass, though. All that looks like is looking for an excuse to be bigoted in a socially acceptable manner.

      Either way, you admit to not being an expert and haven’t dug into sources, yet fully accept what you are told and agree that China is committing ethnic cleansing just because “countries do shitty things?” High accusations like ethnic cleansing need actual proof, not just people parroting the claims of Adrian Zenz uncritically.

      There’s a political reason the idea of genocide is pushed, it’s to undermine the PRC’s international image and delay the Belt and Road Initiative in the Xinjiang Autonomous Zone, which is a key point connecting mainland China to Europe and the Middle East.
