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. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to [email protected]

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

Forced sterilization is a form of genocide as well, and not an uncommon one, I believed it happened a lot to native Americans in residential schools.

Well yes. But this and the extermination of buffaloes as the other user pointed out were supplemental to a wide gamut atrocities one of which was straight up cold blooded murder of the indigenous people.

The reason I ask in this context is that famously there is not one confirmed dead person in this purported Uyghur genocide. All we have are extremely dubious "missing" people from the West-run Uyghur Victim Database which was found to have some AI generated pictures in it.

So yes theoretically I acknowledge that you could kill a people without killing individuals directly. But reality is different. There are certain factors like resistance effort from victims of genocide leading to deaths and often the callous barbarity of the genociders that make such a "clean" genocide with no spilt blood impossible.

Oh absolutely, any forced sterilisation comes after massacres, it never just happens in a vacuum. Nothing about genocides happen in vacuum, except in Xinjiang, where Xi just randomly woke up one morning and felt like doing a genocide for no reason or benefit, but wanted it to be an invisible genocide, undetectable to all but the whitest of white supremacists (the people well know for opposing genocide)
