This seems oddly well produced for a rando on the internet to conjure up on a whim… and I don’t want to neolibilly accuse anyone but… do you have that sitting around or did you spend a lot of effort putting that together? I’m not being accusatory and I agree Rikers is a travesty and New York is MAAAYBE a Hong Kong-level pre-picked democracy via DNC monopoly rule, if not worse.
Honestly I am very impressed by the thoroughness of the post too.
Tbh, there are a few Western talking points used against China, USSR (still), etc., and while I think it rare, anyone on the left (socialist, communist, anti-imperialist for sure) who is dedicated to fighting these points (which yogthos clearly is) likely has a list of references squirreled away somewhere to use. Maybe a research paper, blog post, or video essay was published by yogthos, at which point they would definitely have these ready.
Back to the “genocide”, its also suspicious that the focus of state/corporate media in the west would be so focused on this “one” in particular, while ignoring all of the ongoing atrocities in and by western states. To me, it is far more likely that trying to pin a genocide on China (the empires new enemy I guess) is just a way to manufacture consent for tariffs, trade wars, real war. It is the American Way™ after all.
As a matter of fact, I do have this sitting around because it’s a trope that just won’t die and I got tired of having to look up these points every time somebody brings this up.
