Hat sicherlich auch was mit der Zinserhöhung der EZB zu tun. Die allermeisten Unternehmen sind mehr oder weniger verschuldet. Wenn die ihre Kredite refinanzieren, müssen die jetzt auf einmal viel mehr an Zinsen abdrücken, das führt dann zu mehr Insolvenzen.

Die Zinsen wurden angehoben, um die Inflation zu bekämpfen. Die Firmen werden zum Lohnkosten drücken gezwungen oder gehen pleite ⇒ niedrigere Löhne und mehr Arbeitslose ⇒ Inflation sinkt. Theoretisch. Folge ist aber auch Rezession.

Voll das rationale System auf jeden Fall.

Yeah yeah, I've heard that before. There's a whole cottage industry of "experts" that have predicted the imminent collapse of China going back decades. Call me when it actually happens.

Where did you learn that? The school of enlightened centrism? How do you explain the Nazis putting every communist they could find in a concentration camp? They just violently disagreed on the wording of the exact same position?

There's plenty of evidence of China trying to improve the living conditions for Uyghurs in Xinjiang and in the rest of China (poverty alleviation, affirmative action programs for university students, the crackdown against hate speech on social media, ...). So imprisoning some people based on some vague "extremism score" and then seemingly releasing them after some months doesn't show intent to impose living conditions in order to destroy a group. It shows intent on crushing separatism.

Preventing births is true for everybody in China, how does that show an intent to destroy a particular group? It doesn't.

So we're left with "serious bodily or mental harm", which can be explained just as well by an intent to suppress separatism and religious extremism. Literally every war causes some nationality "serious bodily or mental harm" far worse than what China is doing, and we don't call every war a genocide, do we?

I bet you do after that dunking, bubbleboy.

Edit: IGNORE I'm probably wrong. Old comment:

I don't think you can do that using xmodmap.

You can only enable preconfigured options (which are defined somewhere under /usr/share/X11/xkb on my computer) using xmodmap.

You can create your own keyboard configuration using xkbcomp, but it's a pain in the ass and not super well documented. I did that once but forgot all about it.

Edit: OK scratch that. I was thinking of setxkbmap, but I'm pretty sure there's also a bunch of limitations to xmodmap. Sorry.

Two years ago, that shit used to be in German newspapers every month or so. Haven't seen anything in like a year now. Also, pretty sure the UN report didn't allege genocide, which is what the media here was claiming back then.

Heck I remember one of my friends was under the impression that there was ethnic cleansing and some major refugee movements, despite the media never actually alleging that. But when they hear the word "genocide" over and over, that's what people imagine.

Are we looking at the same image? How's that the correct interpretation?

It's a western study! Is Harvard part of a communist conspiracy or what's your point?

Goal post shifting much?

You: It's just Chinese propaganda with no source!

Me: provides source

You: Well it's not a Harvard study!

Me: It definitely is.

You: Well that study sucks anyway!

Me: 🙄

Yeah but have you seen what they used to write?

There's this passage:

Uyghur activists abroad accuse the Chinese government of genocide, pointing to plunging birthrates and the mass detentions. The authorities say their goal is not to eliminate Uyghurs but to integrate them, and that harsh measures are necessary to curb extremism.

Regardless of intent [...]

They're actually doing the false balance thing. When was the last time the western press was fence sitting this much about this issue?

China eased up on their crackdown, which is good, but the western press went so far above what they could prove, they're now walking back. Actually more like dropping the story: When was the last time you saw a new article about Xinjiang and not some social media echo?
