The Xinjiang Victims Database is a very worthy cause that desperately needs support. If you cared about this stuff back in 2017 when the news first started leaking out, please don't let compassion fatigue affect you! www.gofundme.com/f/xinjiang-v...

a document circulating online shows Harbin Engineering University issued disciplinary warning to 20 students for using VPN to visit foreign websites sad to think of the first email sent from China in 1987 that read “across the great wall we can reach every corner in the world”

The funny thing about the Qing specifically is that the stuff that everyone thinks about as emblematic Qing imperialism (Dzungar wars, conquest of Xinjiang) was not particularly tied to bigotry - the Dzungar genocide was brutal but also seems to have been a spur of the moment decision by Qianlong

On Aug. 21, Sarah B. Rogers, the State Department’s under secretary for public diplomacy, published a thread on X releasing what she said were the long-awaited “GEC Files.” @noupside.bsky.social explains the operational record at the center of her exposé and why it doesn’t say what she claims.

The “GEC Files” Don’t Show a Censorship Operation

The State Department promised proof of a vast censorship scheme. The documents Sarah Rogers released show something else entirely.

Being a trained, educated, and credentialed IR/defense SME these days is like having a PhD in mathematics during a time when the prevailing discourse begins with, "Are numbers even real?" Like I don't even know where to begin with any of this most of the time.

I don't think people fully understand the level of bullshit they consume on this site about AI daily. The new story about people cancelling Anthropic bc of the watermark is based on a reporter finding a dozen people on X saying that, there is no drop (yet) at least.

Ben Shapiro probably does not know enough history to even know this, but the way he is talking about Muslims as a nation within the nation who can never be integrated is almost verbatim what European nationalists said about Jews in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.

Tweet from Ben Shapiro: "It turns out that importing massive numbers of Muslims from third world countries is a bad idea. Not just because people get beaten in Dearborn for protesting or nearly stabbed in Ceuta for covering the news. But because radical Muslims create voting enclaves in Western countries, then build coalitions with radical Leftists who hate our civilization. Which is what’s about to happen in the Michigan Senate primary tonight.
