You’ve heard of no true Scotsman, well that’s compared to me, the only true Scotsman. Everything I am is all things that are forever and not, therefore the fallacy isn’t.

  • What part of uighur culture was erased, exactly, by funding schools, arresting foreign violent religious extremists, and building affordable housing?

    Are you saying uighurs are all violent, uneducated, homeless people and should remain that way due to their culture?

    Just a reminder before you do the next state dept line, there are more mosques in every major Chinese city than there are in the state of New York.



  • Yeah that’s the unsupported US state dept propaganda I was mainly talking about.

    We know what genocide in the 21st century under an authoritarian regime that has complete and total control over the flow of information looks like, thanks to Israel. The Palestinian genocide is the most well documented genocide in history, despite Israel entirely controlling the access to technology, press, and internet, with a tighter grip than China.

    Uighurs aren’t under going a genocide. You can visit Xinjiang right now, without a tour guide. You can bring whatever tech you want and post whatever you want.

    Was China harsh in their initial crackdown of allegedly radicalized elements among the poverty stricken population 20 years ago when 9/11 was still fresh in everyone’s minds and the US government was invading a half dozen countries causing terror groups to flee to other countries and start cells there? Sure.

    But fewer people of uighur descent were killed or imprisoned over the last 50 years in China, per capita or by total number, than black people were by the us last year.

    If that’s the basis for genocide, then boyo every country on the planet has committed genocide and is committing genocide.














  • I don’t, but that doesn’t matter. Geothermal is limited in use case. Hydro is worse for the environment than coal unless you make it a hydro battery, and then you only have so many places you can build it, and wind is naturally unreliable by definition. Solar is the most consistent renewable, and the cheapest, and it’s useless on average half of a day.

    Renewables are great, and eventually when we figure out perfect energy storage using hydrogen or other super common material based battery they’ll be almost good enough for most use cases on earth.

    Until then, though, and for all future applications, fission and fusion are going to be needed.

    Edit: also lol if you think wave generators are anything but an express way to shed micro plastics into the ocean.
