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
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
Xinjiang is a real place, like China, you can really just go there.
These 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
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.
