A community for discussing events around the World
Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (perjorative, perjorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (perjorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect!
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

The Turkistan Islamic Party keeps attacking civilians in Xinjiang but it seems nobody cares.
So you’re saying the people being systematically oppressed and marginalized are turning radical in their helplessness? How rude of them. They should just shut up and go into the gas.
Or you can rehabilitate and reeducate. You know, the thing that they're doing
Why does the government get to decide what they can believe and what not? Fucking totalitarian bullshit.
Because the government doesn't want a terrorist group to continue bombing the shit out of civilians so they reeducate them on not following terrorists. It's not really a bad thing to want prisoners to be reeducated on not doing crimes.
Does this look like rehabilition and reeducation to you: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/resources/idt-8df450b3-5d6d-4ed8-bdcc-bd99137eadc3
It looks like a prison... Which it is. Have you seen how the US treats terrorists and suspected terrorists in Guantanamo? These guards don't even have guns pointed at the back of their heads. There's no waterboarding or torture I'm seeing either. What are you expecting to see at a prison designed to contain and rehabilitate suspected terrorists? It's not a Disney vacation.
No no no china lovingly refers to these as "vocational training schools" with voluntary attendance. The UN estimates that at least a million people where sent to these thats an awfull lot of people who must be terrorists. Let alone terrorists who volunterilly choose to be reducated. Ohh and china restricted the UN human rights commissioner who whent to visit which doesnt fill me with confidence. Also a bunch of the "students" have disapeared to who knows where.
Well, considering that you can volunteer for reeducation or subject yourself to a prison sentence with hard labor, yeah, it's voluntary. And it's not just uyghers, not just Muslims, not just terrorists, but people from all over the country that're deemed to not be serious threats, given the opportunity to get out with good behavior if they go through reeducation, then it's really not that bad. Better than a US prison system
Genocide denial
Lazy argument. Get real.
I'm guessing you don't support Palestinians
That's a dumb comment. I absolutely support Palestinians
Even though Hamas keeps attacking civilians? Because that'd be sorta the point
If you lived in an open air prison, you'd listen to whatever radical bullshit you were told that gives you the strength to fight and the hope to escape.
Well yeah, exactly
Yeah, but I support the people and their struggle to not live in an open air prison and am against the genocide being committed so rich settlers can have beach front property in Gaza.
But not so much for people in similar position in Xinjiang?
Please elaborate on how
They're not though
Please elaborate on the situations and their differences
Xinjiang is not an open air prison populated mostly by children. It's not being bombed on a daily basis by a superior military force. It's mostly populated by farmers that are living a normal farmer life. There isn't actual genocide happening. People aren't dying in masses. Pretty much not even close to the same living conditions in Gaza
