That's one thing I wish would die with reddit, the demand for scholarly sources. I got into too many arguments about racism that ended in request for scholarly articles. Not everything is studied dipshits, people aren't making peer reviewed articles for fun, it needs funding and resources. Xinjiang is a real place, like China, you can really just go there.

If you don't give me a citation showing that Xinjiang is both real AND a place you can go to right now I'm not gonna believe you AND you will look like a fool

Actually my eyes haven't been peer reviewed so even if I physically go there and see the "concentration camps" discovered via satellite imagery and see they're just an apartment complex, I still can't trust my own epistemology

How would you be able to trust your senses to receive notice that your senses have been peer reviewed? It’s impossible to know anything, checkmate materialists

And maps or flight tickets aren't peer reviewed so they don't count

Yakub is WHITE but the cultural marxists will tell you otherwise

You'd think trying and failing to use science to justify racism would debunk any need to cite experts when saying racism is bad.

[-] [email protected] 15 points 6 months ago

That would require a having a chain of thoughts linking history to the present. But what happened in the past doesn't matter anymore because racism was voted illegal now

True. It's a "big ask" as the kids say. Or I assume how the kids say.

These cracker believe sincerely that China, like North Korea, is ready to put on an elaborate stage show for any whitey that shows up. If they even acknowledge that yes you can go to Xinjiang, they'll just say that Xi Jinping personally forced everyone to be an actor and pretend everything is fine

Secretly all countries are ran by acting troupes to appease the American's imagination

Proving extraordinary claims is good actually its just that "Uighers are being genocided" IS the extraordinary claim.

Sorry like I just got in an argument with a chud acquittance of mine who claimed that NGOs funded by rich people are funding mass immigration to the US, and when I asked for sources and a paper trail he said "1+1=2" and I pointed out how mathematicians would say you actually do have to prove 1+1=2 and he did a "LOL EXPERTS" thing.

So I don't think we should move into post-truthism.

Yes proving things is good actually. The bad is only demanding proof from 1 channel, in this case a scholarly source or it doesn't exist.

It's the dunk tank.

This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.

Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.

Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.

Rule 3: No sectarianism.

Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome

Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)

Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.

Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.

Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this.

Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again
