Uyghur Workers Are Moved to Factories Across China to Supply Global Brands

If the Uyghurs mostly stayed in Xinjiang, it was because they were forcibly confined there. But when in fact a great many Uyghurs moved for work across the country, this was evidence of a labor trafficking conspiracy

Beat me to it.

Ok, but like, what if Uyghurs are working in factories across China? So? Seriously, so what? A factory job is a damn good job. And Uyghurs are one of the (many) people groups in China, so yeah, they probably have jobs. Fucking shocker. That would be like saying American Indians are working in factories. Some probably are, so what?

All of the pictures in the article are just people working normal factory jobs for average pay or being celebrated and given themed clothes when leaving Xinjiang to work in the factories. There's a video of people walking through crowds with the themed hats and one of them clearly smiles and waves when they notice the camera. Somehow this is evil and not just people traveling together for a business program.
Imagine if every Western business retreat was characterized with atrocity propaganda because all your tote bags looked the same at the mini golf course.
- one of them clearly smiles and waves when they notice the camera.
  Clearly the old communist brain washing devices are still in operation.
My favorite part is that thanks to China's rail network it's entirely reasonable and even expected for someone to take on a job working away from home, because they can just supercommute via bullet train and come home on the weekends to see their families.
- Very true. Current project I go to Gansu mining area often and it is only a four hour train.
The kitten-burners seem to fulfill some urgent need. They give us someone we can clearly and correctly say we’re better than. Their extravagant cruelty makes us feel better about ourselves because we know that we would never do what they have done. They thus function as signposts of depravity, reassuring the rest of us that we’re Not As Bad As them, and thus letting us tell ourselves that this is the same thing as us being good.
- Red sails will stay relevant as it is for at least the next 50 years. Inshallah it will eventually be less relevant soon through progress but that seems naive to hope
- This really exemplifies and focuses the point being made in "Masses, Elites, and Rebels".
  It is this maintenance of persona.
  To challenge that fantasy, to identify it as nothing more than that, is to threaten to send them back to whatever their lives were like before they latched onto this desperate alternative.
  It makes me think of all the instances of liberals, even in my own personal life, rejecting clear evidence about a given topic. If someone hasn't build a persona that would be shattered by this evidence, there is minimal push back. However, with a persona threatened by evidence, that's when they dig in.
  I think this explains the projection as well. Since it places them back on the offensive, giving them opportunity to spin more yarn for you to "debunk".
  Its easier to spit the most twisted experiences you can imagine about China then seek the truth, because you believe in democracy, and you think you know what it is. To admit that the things you've been told are lies, places you back to a position of not knowing what democracy is.
  It's easier to be pro Israel because you are a defender of the marginalized, who rejects hate, and racism. The positions are clear and backed by the state. You maintain your persona and risk nothing. To admit that its all a farce means you have to admit your indifference to the last 70+ years of occupation. You have to accept your racist views, and shatter the illusion that you care about the marginalized.
  This maintenance scales all the way down to interpersonal relationships, to group affiliations, to regionalities. Its all in service of the maintenance of persona. The alternative is to show your true self, to reveal how much you'll lie and deceive to maintain your persona, how little you care, how much you prefere the status quo instead of progress. How much you enjoy stagnation of the self instead of growth.
The implication the article is trying to make is that they are being forcibly trafficked by the see see pee.
- Oh I get that, but I don't see how the video of the people comes to that conclusion
Chinese citizens move from one part of China to a different part of China for employment opportunities. What will we inscrutable celestials do next?
这些.world鬼佬全部都是白痴

I love how if you've even been paying a passing amount of attention to this atrocity propaganda campaign over the past several years you will have seen a thousand instances of sensationalized claims and accusations that are inevitably walked back a few months later.

But there's just something about the cognitive dissonance of the average liberal who is desperate for a justified conflict with a scary foreign adversary that they are allowed to feel "uncomplicated, nationalistic/patriotic pride" about that makes them keep saying, "sure, you may have fooled me the first 1487 times, but I'm feeling really good about lucky number 1488!"

Meanwhile there is an actual evil Nazi regime committing a genocide that we could stop with a phone call, but…
They’re being walked back less and less, nowadays they just say something and shut up about it a week later, then it becomes “common knowledge” (
)

When the west forces workers to travel from Poland or Romania to the UK for work it's the freeee market at its best.

When China does it with a state company, it's worthy of horror articles that amount to "The workers are paid, but the conditions they face are unclear" which is a big nothingburger, yes that's a literal quote from the article.

The workers are paid, but at what cost?
- Market rate depending on experience.
You can hollow out a city’s industry so few people can actually live there and work, so they have to move to find work… but that’s just the FREE MARKET BBY!

Uyghurs working in factories throughout China has been explicit ans intentional national policy in China for nearly a decade as part of their economic modernization campaign in Xinjiang. Aa the article notes this also includes others like Kazakhs, as they also live in Xinjiang. This fact, implies to be salacious, is not nefarious and already well-known.

The other parts of the article intendes to imply or state problems, like forced labor, rely on completely unstated claims referencing "experts" and "human rights advocates, Marco Rubio, and claiming workers migrating follows the " pattern" of forced labor. What pattern? They don't deign to say.

They have literally nothing to go on and so they are instead trying to stretch implicatioms and guesswork (making shit up) as much as they can.

Keep in mind that the groups that worked on tgis article have all carriwd water for the current Zionist genocide and uncritically publish IDF statements as if they are fact.
