Oh definitely. Education is important, and it is important to acknowledge the faults of your community. I make a point of being aware of the ugly parts of the past and present.

Regarding Xinjiang - Arab League nations have a huge financial interest in staying on China's good side. I worry that the billions of dollars of investment creates a conflict of interest. It makes it difficult to see them as trustworthy in this particular matter.

It also conflicts with the findings of the UN human rights office.

I recognize that this isn't the most solid evidence, but my local kabob shop owner is Uyghur from that area. They say they left before it became bad, but they have friends and family who are experiencing what the UN office is saying firsthand.

I trust international investigation and evidence uncovered by reputable journalists.

If a country refuses to allow international investigators to do their job, that is a significant red flag.

  1. No one disagrees that america had committed atrocities and generally sucks with its foreign policy. Most educated people in the US are happy to admit and fight for change within the government on that. It is not denied.

  2. Has china allowed for international investigators to investigate the situation in Xinjiang?

They'll have to time that right

I'm just saying to package the words in a way that is comprehensible to the person reading it, and likely that they will.

I honestly don't doubt that there was some good content in it. But the audience you are talking to doesn't want the communication you are giving in that format. It comes off as annoying, and therefore not effective in communicating the message you want to deliver.

I'm over here delivering free marketing lessons to tankies lol.

I'm gonna go touch grass now. Good luck with stuff

I'm putting time into supporting good communication. Telling someone you don't respect them or their time is also not an effective way to communicate either btw. Thanks for showing your cards though.

I get that the text might have some good and important meaning, but the format the meaning was delivered in spoils it.

Like, I would love it if someone gave me a million dollars. But do I want the million dollars in pennies? Not really lol
