My aim is the truth, and decent human morals. If China is doing evil, morally repugnant, inhumane things in Xinjiang, then I'm going to say, as clearly as I can, that China is doing evil, morally repugnant, inhumane things in Xinjiang. And I'm not going to sugar-coat it because people have said similar things in the past as part of a push for war.

Please keep such boilerplate flamewar rhetoric off HN. It just leads to the lamest, nastiest sort of internet dreck. We're trying for at least not the bottom of the barrel here.

I realize that strong feelings are usually what drives grandiose rhetoric but that's not enough.

There is sugar coating it, and there is exaggerating it beyond what is likely true in a way that will enable even more evil without actually making things any better.

Let's not pretend that it's because people have said similar things before as part of a push for war. It's because the same people, and literal defence contractors, are behind much of this information, coinciding exactly with a push for war.
