I visited Xinjiang with @SpiritofHo two years ago. Some things we witnessed:
👉🏽 Lots of busy, thriving mosques
👉🏽 Lots of halal restaurants
👉🏽 Uyghur language written and spoken everywhere
👉🏽 Uyghurs, Hans and others going about their ordinary lives
No sign of cultural genocide
@jonnysocialism@fromhegel@FailsenM@Reboiras1949 @MarxMidwest And I used Muslim-American communities as an example because they’re highly regarded as “outsiders” but don’t have the same status/history as Black (assuming we’re talking about SWANA and South Asian Muslims) and indigenous peoples do. Like, you can’t just give them a territory.
@jonnysocialism@fromhegel@FailsenM@Reboiras1949 @MarxMidwest I’m not talking about the peoples who feel patriotic, I’m talking about the ones who don’t. No one is forcing anyone to not wave the American flag.
@FailsenM@Reboiras1949 @MarxMidwest What about other groups who don’t feel as if mainstream American culture represents their values, e.g. Muslim diaspora populations in Michigan/NYC?
What about the indigenous including Hawaiians?
On this week’s episode of Good Morning Revolution, we discuss:
-The attack on abortion rights.
-The “pink tide” sweeping Chile, Honduras, and the newest republic, Barbados.
-And does socialism cause inflation?

@calebmaupin Dunno if I agree. I see where you’re coming from but I’d pose the real reason is the availability of guns mixed with extreme alienation. It’s not something individual consumer choices can fix.
@tedderukan @calebmaupin I have never encountered western leftists supporting imperialism in Latin American countries on this basis.
There’s a huge difference between playing white saviour vs fighting for women/queers in your own country/society.
@calebmaupin I don’t think it’s necessarily contradictory to support anti-imperialist states which may not have the greatest domestic issues all while rejecting social conservatives in your own country who are trying to take your rights away. I can’t affect how the DPRK handles queer issues.
