i'm thinking about their claim that "the predominant topic of discussion" among tankies is the uyghur "genocide." like bro there's 99 more percentiles of non-uyghur related topics. i see a post about xinjiang on here like once a month.

MODERATORS
I have an idea about why they'd come to a weird conclusion like that:
A "hot" topic like that might have outsized participation. That is, a single post about the topic may have a huge number of comments compared to an every day post. They don't have methodology to differentiate between a rare-but-popular topic and an "every day" topic.
Just another example of how their poor methodology allows poor conclusions.

Not surprised to see that two of the three authors (not calling them scholars, this isn't scholarship) are from Binghamton University, considering their horrid reputation as of late.

Good old McCarthyism
This is one of the most hilarious things I've seen all year. Also one of the most infuriating, as its such a shockingly poor work of "research". Imagine being an apparently legitimate professor who takes themselves seriously and putting your name on this, even as a grift this should be embarrassing.
that aside there are so many choice bits in here, true comedic genius
Why do they think we think all Jews are Zionists?
