China has how many Muslim Uighurs interned? Millions?
Do you support the right to arms for Uighurs?
'At first I did not speak out because I did not believe they were coming for me.'
- krapp 8y agoWhen you mention Neimoller's poem, 1984 or Brave New World in an internet comment not related to literary criticism, you automatically lose.

- krapp 8y agoAnalogies to the Nazis (which Neimoller's poem is, implying a slippery slope to mass graves or something equally terrible) and dystopian fiction have become so tedious and banal at this point that I group them together with Godwin's Law as examples of arguments with negative intellectual value. If a commenter is resorting to these, it's evidence they have little of value to add to the conversation beyond concern trolling. > Who made up that silly rule? I guess I did. But I can't be the only one sick of seeing these low effort memes pop up around here.
- jki275 8y agoGodwin's law doesn't say what you think it does. It's not a "low effort meme", it's appropriate sometimes.
