@yogthos @swiley I don't know if any of the things the US and China are doing are literally textbook genocide, and the extrapolated concentration camp numbers for Xinjiang are probably grossly inflated, but I have no doubt that China's "anti-terrorism" measures are even worse than what US people would tolerate in their own country, and that's a pretty high bar.

I'm guessing you don't live in the US? We're pretty abusive to our own people: I think something like 1% of men here are incarcerated and there are a lot of laws that exist largely just to make it easier for police to harass groups of people we don't like. Not to mention what we do with Mexicans.
IMO: what the US people tolerate is a terribly low bar.
I mean the level of atrocities you need to reach to clear the bar.
