  1. Horseshoe theory is bullshit. Liberalism is a disease. Liberal is, in fact, an insult used by fascists and leftists alike, for different reasons. Liberals and fascists are both morally corrupt and spiritually bankrupt. But these are just descriptors.

    Fascists insult liberals for weakness, diversity, proceduralism, or insufficient ethnonational purity.

    Leftists insult liberals for collaboration with domination while pretending neutrality.

    Same word, different indictment. The key distinction is function.

    A liberal government may speak of human rights while backing massacres. A fascist movement may discard the human-rights language and embrace domination more openly.

    Different rhetoric, sometimes overlapping material outcomes.

    I won't speak about theory in a vacuum, but let's talk about historical and material conditions and the imperial boomerang across settler-colonial states, imperial powers, and postcolonial formations shaped by empire. Let's start there.

    (In case you think the political spectrum translates cleanly to every corner of the world while global power structures heavily rely on exploitative systems of racial and gender hierarchy and extraction, think again, and this is me being polite)

  2. »Zhang was part of this system: He ensured no one went to mosques, he searched phones & compiled files. … Chat groups … documented who was sick & who skipped the mandatory Chinese class. [For arrests] hints on #Uyghur rituals were sufficient: a song, a poem, a prayer. Sometimes, police officers invented things, such as villagers playing basketball. Anyone who does sport and keeps fit is suspicious, a potential terrorist. “Anyone could be arrested at any time.”« #China

  3. Talked to a friend I've not spoken to in a while, and it seems he's been sucked into the #China disinformation sphere and fully sees it as the world's only hope.

    While I get it somewhat - the search for a "savoir" when everyone else - #Europe #US #India, etc, seems to be going to shit - I honestly don't have the willpower to deal with this anymore. The final straw may have been when he glowed about an leftist author who has been pushing #Uyghur #genocide denial messaging.

  4. This book: Tahir Izgil’s “Waiting to be Arrested at Night’ really moved me

    Also, a special fuck you to western leftists who insist none of this is happening and that China is amazing

  5. A person who was made to undergo Chinese political re-education as part of China’s ongoing, undeniable genocide

    Built a propaganda tracker tracking Chinese state media and terms. They noticed how, during the re-education program, language was shifting: he was no longer Chinese Mongolian, he was from the ‘northern frontier’.

    This work documents and tracks how quickly terms shift through Chinese state media

  6. #boycatapp is teasing a new campaign called #uyghur.

    This is what no dialectical materialism does to a motherf*cker.

    The uyghur "genocide" is manufactured consent by the USA for attacks against china.

    In stark contrast to the gaza genocide, the usa has evidently supported a separatist *minority*, same as the iranian *monarchist diaspora*.

    We need to understand that antiimperialism needs to be combined with materialism. China is supportive of minorities. Please contact people living in china!

  7. Interview with anthropologist Gerald Roche about China’s new Ethnic Unity Law

    "If you look at the linguistic practices of people across China, you will start seeing the impact from this law 10 years from now. But those impacts will be permanent."

  9. China Enacts Sweeping Secrecy Law in Uyghur Region to Silence Witnesses and Bury Evidence of Crimes

    uyghurtimes.com/china-enacts-s

    > A new law is in effect in Uyghur region — and it tells government workers what they cannot say, where they cannot travel, and who they cannot talk to, for the rest of their lives if necessary.

  10. How China’s transnational surveillance is isolating Uyghur families

    thenewhumanitarian.org/opinion

    > For Uyghurs abroad, even a phone call could lead to greater repression for their families inside China.

  11. New report from the Uyghur Human Rights Project about how the Chinese party-state systematically disrupts communication between the Uyghur diaspora and their families in East Turkistan

    "The separation of Uyghur families is neither incidental nor temporary, but rather a deliberate strategy of transnational repression."

  12. The Chinese party-state's campaign to erase "minority languages" continues

    "A years-long trend of replacing Mongolian-, Tibetan-, and Uyghur-medium instruction with Mandarin Chinese-medium instruction is now codified in law. Students in these communities will now only be taught their mother tongue as a single, standalone class; all other classes will be taught in Chinese."

  13. 📻 Radio Free Asia (RFA) has resumed broadcasting in China in Mandarin, Tibetan, and Uyghur languages

    The resumption of broadcasting comes after the Trump administration cut funding for USAGM and its networks last year. The new funds are from a bipartisan bill passed by Congress

  14. Read an analysis that claimed that Chinese solar is "unfairly criticized" that then went on to make no mention of any of the many #humanrights concerns linked to solar production, such as #Uyghur forced labor in #Xinjiang.

    How is the solution to "unfair" criticism to put out biased de-facto promotion?

  28. To anyone who's been following human rights issues in #Tibet or the #Uyghur regions, or Chinese links to illegal #rareearth mining in #Laos & #Myanmar (including de-facto support for the ruthless #junta), the fact that #China derailed the inclusion of mining and critical minerals in the #COP30 #JustTransition Work Program is no surprise.

    In the latest issue of @codastory newsletter, I explore this, and more.

  30. No surprise - #China, alone, is calling for the removal of #minerals from the Just Transition Work Program at #COP30 #climate talks

    Well, no surprise to me. The press release from civil society makes the absurd claim that China is "uniquely positioned to champion a just and equitable approach to transition minerals."

    Do they really think a authoritarian country, whose #cleantech industry uses #forcedlabor and #landgrabs of #Tibetan and #Uyghur land/bodies will really "champion" justice?

  31. A Uyghur perspective on UN Resolution 2758

    "The decision codified “China” as a single, indivisible entity—an act that validated Beijing’s territorial claims and erased alternative sovereignties from the international imagination."

  32. China is promoting Xinjiang as a tourist destination, but tourists only see a sanitised version of life in the region

    "It's not my place to tell people not to visit, but they need to realise that what they experience there is a whitewashed version of [Xinjiang]," said Uyghur-American activist Irade Kashgary

  33. The latest Lonely Planet guide to China downplays human rights abuses and fails to give readers adequate information about the role of the Chinese party-state in destroying key Uyghur cultural sites

    At best, this is self-censorship and, at worst, complicity, writes Dr. Henryk Szadziewski

  34. Radio Free Asia is on pause

    "When RFA Uyghur journalists first exposed the violent repression and mass detainment of Uyghurs in Xinjiang, China harassed and arrested their family members. Still, our journalists bravely continued the work of uncovering atrocities. With the world’s only independent Uyghur-language news service shuttered, China’s propaganda will fester without a potent and effective accountability check."

  35. Critically, American #surveillance #technologies allowed a brutal mass #detention campaign in the far west region of #Xinjiang — targeting, tracking & grading virtually the entire native #Uyghur population to forcibly assimilate & subdue them.

    #US #tech companies did this by bringing “#PredictivePolicing” to #China#technology that sucks in & analyzes data to prevent crime, protests, or terror attacks before they happen.

  36. The Australian Uyghur Tangritagh Women’s Association (AUTWA) is taking legal action against retailer Kmart over concerns about the use of forced labour in its supply chain

    The case highlights problems in Australia's Modern Slavery Act. The act requires companies to report on their supply chains but imposes no penalty if they fail to report

  38. At our most recent protest outside the #Chinese embassy in #WashingtonDC, we learned about the problem of forced labor in the #mining industry. East Turkistan (a.k.a. #Xinjiang) is a source of #titanium, #lithium, #beryllium, and #magnesium. Of particular concern is beryllium, for which East Turkistan is China's top source.
