Why does that matter 😭 you just instantly went to assuming my beliefs instead of saying something constructive.

All I’m trying to say is that the Mennonites aren’t as evil as you think. Please research them to form an actual opinion instead of reading one measles article and then attempting to debate me.

If you’re trying to go after religions for being a blight on society, Mennonites are the last and least influential place to look

They’re anything but selfish lol. Firstly, there are sects of Mennonites that are integrated into modern society. Secondly, the communities they live in are founded on the idea of everyone helping each other. The extreme sects are allowed to waive their right to social security since their church already provides them a safety net. They don’t take gov benefits. Also, all of them have jobs, they’re not sealed off from the world. I live in Ohio and the Mennonites and Amish are frequently working on home repairs, building garages or barns, and sell a lot of goods from their little towns. These are honestly some of the nicest and hardest working people around.

American society is founded on the idea of religious freedom. If anything they’re contributing in a more positive way since they don’t seek to combine their religion and the wider world (as compared to a MAGA “Christian”)

Ehh, mennonites just want to keep to themselves and their communities. Obviously they’ve got some problematic beliefs, but they would never force them upon anyone or go out and try to be missionaries. Typically they don’t vote or participate in local government.

Found this interesting article about OH and PA mennonites and their opinions on the 2016 presidential election

No shit people were asking if you were tired of drinking soylent. To the average person it sounds damn near psychopathic if you get all your nutritional needs from a drink. Lock in bro

Is this shi real 😭 isnt soylent a made up food from a dystopian movie? How do so many people in this thread have experience with soylent

Depends on your feed. rn most people are getting gore lol. Some part of the algorithm got fucked and it looks like liveleak.

Most of the racism I see on ig comedic and self aware. Not that it’s good, but it’s not meant as a far-right agenda pushing racism. More of a “I’m gonna make fun of minorities bc I think it’s funny and I don’t care about politics”

Nice picture chud. Whine more. Go eat some tendies

Smtn smtn reading comprehension skills or sum shit

Someone who’s committing a genocide isn’t boutta say “we’re committing a genocide” unless they believe they’re the master race like Israelis or Nazis. I don’t see how the Chinese gov targeting a specific demographic doesn’t fall into the definition 😭

Also I’m not “clearly intentionally misinterpreting [you] in bad faith” We’re on a social media platform retard this isn’t a court case where your character is on trial. I’m gonna say shit to make you mad.

Genocide is bad- why are you trying to devalue the struggle of the Uyghur people?

Also bro you sound like an 8th grader who thinks they’re the shit cause they watched a YouTube video about Mao. You talk all pseudo intellectual and try to use modifiers like “I concur” as if that strengthens your argument somehow. It doesn’t and it makes you sound dumb and like you have no ground to stand on.

Go touch some grass you loser

Good intel on Israel, thanks?

Let me make sure I’m reading this right, but the only way for you to accept a modern day genocide if the perpetrator of the genocide comes out with the same statements as Israeli leaders? That’s awfully narrow and rather off topic tbh.

The UN is reporting that the “anti-terrorist” laws in China are being abused in order to target a specific group of people and make their lives horrible. But I guess since their genocide is under the guise of “anti-terrorism” and China’s Minister of Defense didn’t call Uyghurs animals it doesn’t count.

And what “fabrication” are you talking about. Are you trying to deny that the Uyghurs aren’t being targeted?

For one condition could you provide a source that shows how Uyghurs are living perfectly peaceful lives without any genocidal intentions against them.

Read the UN’s definition of genocide and tell me this doesn’t fit the bill.

Why are you trying to argue the semantics of what’s happening to the Uyghurs? It’s a brain dead thing to argue and is also as you say “moving the goalposts” from your original claim which was “there is no genocide taking place.” + you’re wrong

Get a grip man

Read the UN Report your fellow shill tried to cite.

You’re never gonna get the communist utopia you want, China is not your friend, stop acting like such a clown, get off the internet, loser, and touch grass

Bro did you even read the wiki article you linked, idiot. It talks about how numerous agencies/new outlets confirmed his research that there exists an ongoing genocide, detention, and sterilization programs of Uyghurs. The article goes into detail on how Zenz is the target of multiple misinformation campaigns to cover up his research. However, it also notes that you are in part right because he is exaggerating the numbers. (At least your dense, mush brained ass got one part slightly right)

From the UN’s Report on Xinjiang, 2022

Serious human rights violations have been committed in XUAR… the underlying acts often directly or indirectly affect Uyghur and other predominantly Muslim communities

The report goes onto state how Uyghur’s are placed in detention camps with terrible conditions where forced surgeries, sexual violence, and torture have been reported. (VIII, 145)

Multiple times the report states Uyghur’s are being stripped of their liberties in the region.

Why are you citing a source that doesn’t even reflect your claim 🤡 Learn to read, better luck next time

C’mon bro we can’t seriously be debating if the Uyghur genocide is real. Obviously China isn’t all evil but this is a well documented genocide.

And bro why you pulling the “I’m not racist, I have a black friend” card. Shut yo bitch ass up

That’s gonna fuck up your stroke bruh. If you want a seat cushion for a rowing machine a folded towel or a piece of an old yoga mat will do. You can buy more expensive rowing specific seat cushions but it’s lowk not worth it unless you’re spending a serious amount of time on the erg (and are still uncomfortable)
