> Or china in response to a terrorist massacre, wages a campaign to assimilate, brainwash and sterilize an entire culture without any intention to start an actual military war. Which results in detainment and people losing their freedoms all in the name of preventing terrorism.
It's hard to attract sympathy towards your argument when you straight up admit that sterilization of an entire culture is going on, which yes indeed makes it worse than Afghanistan and moves way towards genocide.
- deltaonefour 4y agoAttracting sympathy is the wrong word. Understanding is a better word. Understanding the psychology of why sterilization and genocide takes place. To you it seems horrid. But to a chinese person the perspective is completely opposite. Why? This failure to understand leads to brain dead responses. I use the war in afghanstan and 9/11 for comparison because Americans actively promoted and encouraged mass slaughter during that time by sending soldiers to another country. What causes Americans to embrace actual slaughter? What is the psychology behind it? It is the same psychology that pushes the chinese to do the "re-educate" the uhgyrs. The difference is, no actual "slaughter" is happening on the Chinese side. I don't support the chinese response. But when I see people comparing the chinese students attitude to "white supremacy" and not even have a shred of understanding of why the uyghur were booed it shows how stupid a lot of people are. Chinese people were slaughtered in a terrorist attack. People were killed. That's why the uyghur got booed. The situation isn't so black and white. The university has the right attitude. The OP to my original response has a narrow attitude, an uncompromising view that shows lack of knowledge.
