      I am not “deliberately trying to start shit with hexbear.” I did not defend war crime denialism. You guys are the ones defending the genocide against Uyghurs by China. You guys are defending the hostile acts of Russia. You guys are always attacking anything that is against the interests of socialist nations, regardless of how autocratic the regime is.

      I also did not defend Nazi apologia. That is a very serious but untrue allegation that I would like to refute.

      If you put yourself in shoes of the rest of the Lemmy users, you would find that Hexbears also sound like they are “deliberately trying to start shit.”

        When allegations are made, the World Bank takes them seriously and reviews them thoroughly. In line with standard practice, immediately after receiving a series of serious allegations in August 2019 in connection with the Xinjiang Technical and Vocational Education and Training Project, the Bank launched a fact-finding review, and World Bank senior managers traveled to Xinjiang to gather information directly…The team conducted a thorough review of project documents, engaged in discussions with project staff, and visited schools directly financed by the project, as well as their partner schools that were the subject of allegations. The review did not substantiate the allegations.

        The recently published report also brings forth some interesting facts related to the religious freedom as opposed to the western propaganda. The report provides a strong testimonial by the visiting delegates who clearly state, “the in houses of worship such as the Id Kah Mosque in Kashgar, modern facilities abound, providing water, electricity and air conditioning. Local clerics told the visitors that their religious activities had been very well protected”. “The conditions here are very good,” said Abdelhalim Elwerdany, of Egypt’s Al-Gomhuria newspaper. “I could feel that local Muslims fully enjoy religious freedom.”

          Is denying the genocide against Uyghurs (which several Hexbears did) really that much better than defending Nazis (which I did not do)?

            You can’t just say “genocide denial” and pretend you’ve won the argument. You first have to actually provide proof of the genocide happening. I could also say “the Dutch are being genocided as we speak” and then call you a genocide denier when you say that’s preposterous.

            It’s strange how elusive the proof for this supposed genocide is.

            There is no genocide against the Uyghurs and continuing to lie about it is the holocaust denial you’re being accused of. You’re diminishing the term ‘genocide’ and making what the nazis did look as comparatively harmless as what China is doing. You’re doing PR for the nazis by making their crimes look less serious.

            But you’ve had this explained to you a thousand times. You know what you’re doing. You’re doing it because that’s your goal, clearly.

              You are doing PR for the Chinese Communist Party. I have nothing against communism, what I am against is their dictatorship.

              My goal is to… well I don’t really have a goal. All I want to do is to make my opinions heard just like you are.

                You should honestly investigate how democracy actually works in China - You’ll find that they have far more votes and actual choices for their officials than you ever have, and the approval rate of the government, even when anonymously/independently surveyed, is almost certainly higher than your country’s.

                  I honestly find it hard to believe that there is any degree of democracy in a country where the government regularly silences words on its social media. The local officials (the mayor, legislators, and the president) where I live are all elected and I’m pretty sure that’s already more than what China has. Their high approval rate is due to the fact that people don’t know that their government can be better.

                    I think what I said is still true.

                    There’s a lot of handwaving in your reply that China’s population are just ignorant and censorship exists therefore its bad, based on little info. All Western countries also have major systems of censorship on social media. The majority of people in China have access to the internet via unfiltered VPNs - they have basically as much free access to information as you do.

                Your opinion doesn’t deserve to be heard though. You’re calling China a dictatorship. You haven’t done any investigation into the thing you’re talking about and are therefore speaking nonsense. Why do you want your opinion to be heard so badly? Have you done so much work on it that you’re proud to show it off to others?

          I am not deliberately starting shit. All I’m doing is engaging in discussions by leaving replies to comments I don’t agree with. From my observation, this is also what many Hexbears are doing. When Hexbears do this, it’s fine because they “don’t have downvotes” and “have been very active for 3 years.” When I do this, apparently I am “deliberately starting shit.”

          I am well aware of the fact that my post and comment history is public.

          I did not defend the apologia by Zenz. You are deliberately misinterpreting my words. What I said was although his apologia were unacceptable, that does not invalidate his opinions on other topics. To make it extra clear, I did not defend the apologia by Zenz. I also do not condone what the Nazis did. What you said in your comment is slander and hurts my reputation. I would like to politely request that you take down the allegations.

          Though Lee Teng-hui did deny the Rape of Nanking, the “war crime denier” was the first democratically elected president of Taiwan, which makes him one of the pivotal figures in the history of Taiwan. I certainly don’t agree with his viewpoints on the Rape of Nanking, but I still respect him just for the fact that he brought change to the political landscape in Taiwan.

              Did I say anything wrong? Was the process democratic? Yes. Was he elected? Yes. Was his title “president”? Yes. Did this happen in Taiwan? Also yes.

              I did not defend Nazi apologia. I did defend Zenz on his opinions about the genocide against Uyghurs in China.

                His opinions about the “genocide”? The fact that you recognise that they are entirely opinions and not facts just shows how inauthentic the claims are.

                    That’s not what “I did defend Zenz on his opinions” means at all. How do you expect anyone to take you seriously when you’ll lie about what you said only a few centimetres away?
