      I used to ask myself how the German citizens allowed a fascist to take over like Hitler did. Being a citizen in the US right now, I don't wonder that anymore.
      Edit: You people trying to explain what a "dire economic situation" Germany was in at the time are only proving my point. Trump also pointed out many of the problems in the US that people were facing and capitalized on it. His solutions are wrong, but he won people over nonetheless. Would you use the same excuse "you should have seen the economic state of the US at the time Trump was elected, the middle class was really suffering and that's why they voted Trump in" ? There's so much more than this reductionist argument, and my entire point was really trying to point out that fascism doesn't just happen overnight. It happens slowly as the citizens are subject to mass propaganda and cults of personality. Checks and balances are stripped away and power is consolidated among yes-men. The similarities between the rise of trump and the rise of hitler are strikingly similar, except hitler was a great orator, and trump only uses his racism as a tool to sow discord. Regardless, I sure hope the ending changes in this parallel. Vote in 2020 people! No matter what.

      @@Demonstraction Hitler used politics. He used the Treaty of Versailles (Which was the dumbest thing the allies could've done, every country is to blame for WW1 they all fought for their own selfish reasons: France because they want their territory back that they lost to the Germans a couple decades before, England because they wanted to be the only largest fleet in the world and Germany was expanding their own, Germany because their ally Austro-Hungary declared war to Serbia etc etc.) Hitler used the Economic crissis, the large amount of people who lost their jobs, The idea of being "Backstabbed" by the new gouverment. (Trying to get WW1 veterans on his side) Germany was suffering as a country because of that Treaty and Hitler used it to his adventage. That's why German citizens voted him in

      "Never again."

This is the name of the US official botarmy. Leaked by Assange and others 2014, and since then not even the government denies the existance anymore. However the media still covers it up, which is no surprise once y ou know what "Operation Mockingbird" is all about. The next thing I highly recommend readers to check out. And while you are at it throw in Patriotic Act and Espionage Act as well.

      When you look at the evidence for number of people in the concentration camps, they almost all link back to Adrian Zenz or the CHRD regardless of the publication.
      The method used to count the "millions" of Uyghur's in camps were from interviewing EIGHT people and asking them to estimate how many people were being detained in their town.
      "CHRD, based in Hong Kong and Washington DC, interviewed dozens of Uyghur people in Xinjiang. Interviewees gave estimates of how many people-ranging from 8% to 20%-were being detained in their towns. It averaged out to 12% and CHRD bumped the percentage down to 10% for a conservative estimate, ultimately giving them 1.1 million Uyghur Muslims imprisoned.
      qz.com/1599393/how-researchers-estimate-1-million-uyghurs-are-detained-in-xinjiang/
      www.nchrd.org/2018/08/china-massive-numbers-of-uyghurs-other-ethnic-minorities-forced-into-re-education-programs/
      Meanwhile the eye witness of the horrors in the camp tells a different story whenever she's interviewed. You can search her name Sayragul Sauytbay. In one testimony she said she saw rapes, medical experiments and was beat.
      www.businessinsider.com/muslim-woman-describes-horrors-of-chinese-concentration-camp-2019-10
      In another she said she didn't see any violence directly.
      www.theglobeandmail.com/world/article-everyone-was-silent-endlessly-mute-former-chinese-re-education/
      Regardless, witness testimonies must be taken with a grain of salt, see the Nayirah testimony for example: en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nayirah_testimony
      It's funny how people are skeptical of the media but will believe everything that they hear about China with little to no evidence if it confirms their biases.

When George Osborne coined the term "The Golden Era" he was setting human rights and democracy aside.The hope was trade between the UK and China would flourish. In fact, it was greater by far before Osborne's announcement. The fact is the UK is of minimal trade importance to China. That's why we are claiming to be outraged about the Uighurs etc while we line up behind the continued oppression, dehumanisation and murder of Palestinians. The UK is siding with Trump. It is using a false concern for human rights and democracy to attack China because Chinese commu-capitalism threatens US hegemony. Orwell strikes again. The sickening reference to "our values" which include support for Israeli illegality and viciousness exposes the hollowness of the doctrinal system of the so-called "West".

    I'm German-descended Ashkenazi. My great-grandmother and great-grandfather were persecuted by the nazis. After they fled to Crimea, my great-grandfather was "disappeared" and never seen again; my great-grandmother was so broken by her experiences that she would force my grandfather and my great aunt to hide under boxes because *she was convinced they were being gassed* - even after they had fled to the US.

The scope of the surveillance state that the Chinese government is building ( Ofc the American surveillance system is pretty bad too but with a robust democratic set-up and free citizenry, the chances of it being abused by the state is considerably lower) has been expanding unabated and doesn't seem to draw the kind of attention that something of that nature would be expected to.
