In April 2026, Prashad(their executive director) co-authored an article in Monthly Review denying that the Uyghurs were victims of genocide. The article was found to include references invented by AI and was accused by David Brophy and Brian Hoie of whitewashing Chinese government crimes.
Oh man, that‘s rude. Thank god, you found a reason to dismiss everything I wrote and choose ignorance. Is this guy now an evil genocide denier, because western media told you so and because of that it’s forbidden to look at what he (and all the people that actually did the research) wrote or ever have written? You don’t think that’s a bit dumb? Or what, he‘d paid by the enemy! Ha, I got it! Traitor!
It’s funny tho, that you found something that triggers your Pavlovian conditioning, I admit.
What’s with the part before that, if you already quote wikipedia?
(…) that he “did not believe there was reliable evidence or investigation to meet the high legal burden of genocide under international law” and that his remarks corresponded with similar statements by figures such as former UN advisor Jeffrey Sachs and the former president of the International Association of Genocide Scholars William Schabas, as well as the US State Department’s Office of the Legal Adviser.
How about you read the fucking article he wrote then. You might end up learning something. These counterpunches from western-aligned figures are to be expected. Always. Did you learn nothing from the Palestinians and the corresponding media narratives?
Btw, newbloom are a bunch of US-based Taiwanese people. This should irritate you.
The whole fucking point was, that you absolutely should inform yourself about the stuff, that runs counter to the western narrative. But then your first impulse is to go all like 🙈🙉🙊 on the slightest dissonance. You gobble up every dumb ass western narrative from actually genociding states and their spokespeople and then dismiss serious political science work trying to decipher world politics, just because it might run counter to your indoctrination.
Many claims of genocide do not present a prima facie case of the intent to destroy a group, let alone show guilt beyond a reasonable doubt. They are a stratagem to enhance the claimant’s position in an inter-state or intra-state conflict. Claims about China’s Xinjiang are not based on the mass killings associated with genocide, but on birth limits for minorities in 2017-2021 that included practices previously applied to China’s Han majority for decades, plus brief family separations of a few minority children. These assertions impel Western sanctions and incite anti-Chinese sentiment but are empirically unsupported and degrade the concept of genocide.
But hey, writing “no thanks man” surely does the trick. Have good day then.
Hey, look, another pro-prc author. What a surprise. I don’t give a damn what sautman thinks should be called a genocide. Putting people in education camps is wrong and defending it is despicable even if it’s not “technically genocide”. Just because governments can get the same results by changing the methods doesn’t mean the end result isn’t the same… So I don’t need to waste my time by reading their opinions. Same reason why I don’t read that other bullshit either. There are no facts in there. At most some misinterpreted stats to make it seem like a good thing.. but it’s always just opinions. Not even new opinions.

Here, how about you read a book or something: Telling Tall Tales: Uyghur Genocide As a Political Stratagem. Or at least send me a copy, if you got too much money, because I am actually interested to learn.
