I definitely hate China's oppression of its minorities. I think we are seeing the true color of a nation that knows nobody will challenge them. When people try to color it by claiming "different cultural norms!" I just think, well if you just want a culture of evil, this is a good way to do so.
Also I have a smaller hate for the scrollamated site, it's so distracting.
- lambda_obrien 6y agoWho's saying China should be allowed to do genocide because of different cultural norms? Sounds stupid to me.
- tkgally 6y agoRegarding the site: A big "Yes!" I subscribe to the New Yorker, and I sent them a complaint about the unnecessary and distracting cruff. It prevented me from reading the article through to the end.
- swayvil 6y agoThey're oppressing the minorities to create greater wealth and power for China's aristocracy (ultimately). I know I'm stating the utterly obvious but it needs to be said. This is a natural side-effect of aristocrats doing what aristocrats do. And yes, our world suffers from an infestation of aristocrats.
- karmicthreat 6y agoFor a whole lot of Chinese, Han and others, China is a better place than it was 40 years ago. I think this gives the government there more power than it should really have over the attitudes of its people. Maybe as we get 2 or 3 more generations in the general attitude toward the government will shift away from justifying anything for the sake of Chinese unification.
- baybal2 6y agoNormal Chinese citizens, which means 90% of Chinese population who live in downtrodden rural areas, and 3rd tier cities hate their own government in a way Q-Putsch looks like a childs play. Just 2 generations ago, Chinese were dying of starvation. People don't give a fuck for "national unification" if they are one meal away from death.

- adampk 6y agoI guess I am in the minority but I appreciate the scrollamated site. I am slow at picking up information and find visual aids super helpful. An image with all the information on it is really busy and doesn't get through to me very well. But if I can "layer on" information at my desired pace of scrolling, it is a lot easier for me to ingest information than maybe a lot of different images where I have to break and rebuild my mental model each time, or a single image where all the information appears and I need to parse it myself. For a slow thinker, this type of "at your own pace" visual guides is pretty nice.
- karmicthreat 6y agoI think what would help it for me is if it had the option to page through incrementally. Rather than scrolling back and forth to see what I wanted to.
- hellbannedguy 6y agoI thought it was very well done. If they keep up the good work I might even buy a subscription. I usually don’t like these rolling stories, but this was done differently, and the art work is great.

- vulcan01 6y agoNo, I believe you've misunderstood. Apologists for the CCP often claim that there are "differences in cultural values" when trying to explain what's happening in Xinjiang.
