He does not mention Uighur genocide in his books.
He has hypothetical future governments doing things arguably worse. Fiction is largely about fictional people doing bad things, or being forestalled trying them.
- ss108 4y ago> He does not mention Uighur genocide in his books. So? lol "It's ok if he believes putting certain people in concentration camps is good so long as he doesn't mention that in his books"
- moloch-hai 4y agoWe don't know what he believes. We only know he is obliged to say what keeps him out of a re-education camp. What would you be saying, in his position? Be honest.
- ivanstojic 4y agoThis is true, but only by omission: we don't know everything he believes. We do know he publicly supports the genocide in order to protect himself. MLK day is around the corner. It's worth considering what it cost some people to do the right thing, vs what some people got paid to support the wrong thing.
- moloch-hai 4y agoLet us consider what it cost MLK, and whether we demand that of everybody. I favor applauding people for speaking out in risky circumstances. Condemning them for failing to risk what we need not is questionable.
