So it has, lol. Not the easiest thing in the world to read every notification first, I'll get through it eventually

You've gotten barely any notifications and you decide to engage in discussion against something before you've read them. That's not exhibiting curiosity. That's being a debatelord. Responding exclusively to this one is also very telling.

The video is barely 2.5 minutes long. I thought you were curious, yet now you decide to put off answers to your question so that you can continue making pointless comments.

This is uncivil, rude and honestly poor behaviour. I hope you rectify yourself.

Operating on the assumption you're just a debatebro, why do libs like you give this one event, where the narrative is so twisted it's visible for anyone who looks the least bit into it, so much weight, when the United states police regularly run over protesters? This picture is used to illustrate a systemic critique of China, yet these events occur commonly in the west and people like you treat it like it's suddenly some complicated situation.

Edit: On the off chance you're genuine, we had someone much kinder than you stumble in a few days ago with the same questions. I will point you to comments from there to give you reading material
On Ukraine
And on tianamen and the Uyghurs

I agree with you but also I wonder if someone who just wanders onto this website knows what a "debatelord" is lol. We are so steeped in our own lingo

I feel like debatelord is pretty self-evident, but there's other ones like smuglord where I agree. Gonna change it to debatebro though

Idk if this is correct but I think of smuglord as having come from the emoji title, which is one of the best on the site. I mean, what's more accurate than smuglord ?
