    @conditional_soup If you’ve heard of the one child policy here’s a fun fact none of you “China watchers” know. Most regions and/or minority groups did not get affected. If you were Han or anything in Tibet, or a minority any placd, you could be fruitful and multiply. Just an example of how China deliberately gives minority groups boosted democratic representation, healthcare access, training, and cultural representation. Which is what responsible nations should do (glaring at indian res)

    @JohnDClay @turkishdelight Zenz repurposes the pro-life argument that reduced birth rates are genocide to make it look like Xinjiang getting free healthcare & women who had 3 kids already receiving tubal ligations/ etc. is genocide the same way KKK guys think modernity is white genocide. China literally trained these people to be bilingual realtors and stuff like that, it wasn’t even a mega trade program or something. They got people to white collar shit Xinjiang is rich

    @guts @catculation He was just in the wrong place. A free speech idealist. You can tell Reddit’s other cofounder was never anything like him, and now he’s just monstrous. I’d make a limited comparison from Aaron to “Hotwheels”, a guy who keeps making imageboards for his free speech ideology, even though he’s a communist his sites are mostly used by reactionaries. Similar to Lemmy, actually. A lot of people who use this software despise the ideology of Lemmy’s main dev.


  • @guts @catculation He was facing federal charges for taking papers and other documents from JSTOR and posting them online for download by using MIT computers. They were really about to hit him with the book. I would look into the details of the case because there is some speculation his suicide was suspicious, but then again his GF said he was depressed and she resented the rumors. That being said, she could have been distraught and wanted closure, or just wrong. A tragedy.
