Wondering what the genocide of millions of Uyghur is driven by and well we're already far into the preparations for the "war of conquest" part.
- hodgesrm 4y agoIt's pretty awful but does not seem to rise to the level of Nazi extermination camps as far as I can tell. Seeing it through the lens of the Nazi regime does not seem either illuminating or helpful to stop it.
- lern_too_spel 4y agoCultural genocide isn't the same as actual genocide. Pretending they are in order to make a comparison with Nazi Germany isn't going to pass muster.
- stefan_ 4y agoHuh? Of course it is. It's in the name.
- lern_too_spel 4y agoThe suffix "-cide" means "kill." See also: "pesticide," "regicide," and "patricide." Reeducation camps are not mass killing camps. The Nazis committed genocide in the Oxford Languages definition.
- nobodyandproud 4y agoA strawman argument doesn’t “pass muster” either, seeing as how neither I nor the article focuses on the genocide—that wasn’t the point. Though I’m certain you know all of this already.
- lern_too_spel 4y agoThe comment the GP comment was responding to was about genocide. I'm certain you didn't know that already, or you wouldn't have posted the parent comment.
