it’s not hate, it’s human rights and history.

q: what does that word mean?
a: a fear or dislike of China, or its people or culture

if there was space, i would include:

Gaza genocide under apartheid Israel supported by US funds and weaponry … Discussion of this genocide is being actively repressed through student visa revocation, anti-BDS laws and more. (Likewise to the post, being pro-Palestine is NOT antisemitism.)

    Who said “hilighting” censorship is Sinophobia? This feels like a strawman. Unless you’re trying to lecture tankies I guess

      this user said literally that in my last post: https://lemmy.selfhostcat.com/comment/147777 (and yeah they probably fit the bill of tankie)

      (please reconsider your “strawman” judgement in light of this information; i’m trying to keep the comments from getting derailed and locked like last time 😊)

      I see it from posters from ml domains regularly. Hell I was basically told China isn’t oppressing the Uyghurs yesterday. They’re just all at happy fun camp and don’t want to talk to their killjoy families. All the media with families speaking out. Regardless of where it originates from. All made up by the CIA and anyone who covers it simply isn’t credible somehow. The YouTube maker from mainland China that I used to enjoy watching. Who had to abandon her career after telling her life story. Due to threats from the Chinese government . Which included her having to live as a boy because of China’s sexist one child policy. And who’s partner a transgender Uyghur. They don’t exist. I just imagined that they existed. And if they are being threatened by the government they deserve it. It’s got nothing to do with the government being bad. You should expect brain rot from ml enclaves

        Those people are idiots but again, that’s not about just (or even mostly) censorship. It’s about a lot more

          Oh they are unquestionably idiots all the way down. But they exist. Are doing exactly what we claim. And are highly prevalent in the fediverse.
