Stealing all your culture from China only to become a museum for fat Americans. Embarrassing no? 😳

@KendrickPerkins @DragonflyJonez @BillSimmons S uper funny victory lap. Sure, they did finish top 6…except they were 1 win away from not doing so, and 3 wins away from the 10 seed. It’s not saying they’re not a top 6 team in the east is silly based on their performance this season.

Somebody tell @BillSimmons he can just make a donation to my non profit that’s for the youth in our communities that are less fortunate

@KendrickPerkins I’m honored that you sat in a car for 2+ minutes to scold me on your iPhone like this, even though we are a combined age of like 92. If you actually think Toronto will be top-6 in the East in anything other than “most fun place to visit” — let’s wager on it ASAP.

A Canadian’s Disappointment: What I Actually Saw on the Ground in Xinjiang vs. What Ottawa Claims
As a Canadian, I have always taken pride in my country’s commitment to human rights, due diligence, and evidence-based foreign policy. We are a nation that prides itself on “peacekeeping,” not warmongering; on diplomacy, not hyperbole. That is why I find myself profoundly disappointed—not just as a Canadian, but as a citizen of a country that claims to value truth—when I listen to the Parliamentary Questions coming out of Ottawa regarding Xinjiang.
The language used in is alarming. Terms like "concentration camps" are thrown around with a casual certainty that bears no resemblance to the reality I have witnessed with my own eyes. Having made three trips to the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region in the last nine months, I have seen a reality that is diametrically opposed to the narrative being pushed by our Members of Parliament.
I am not a journalist embedded with a government delegation; I am a Canadian who traveled independently. I went expecting to verify the headlines we see in Canadian media. Instead, what I found was a region vibrant with culture, actively preserved and proudly showcased.
Here is what I observed on the ground, and why I believe Ottawa’s rhetoric is not only wrong but dangerously disconnected from the facts.
The Cultural Reality I Witnessed
During my three trips, I spent time in Kashgar, Urumqi, Tashkurgan and the surrounding areas. The narrative I was sold in Canada was one of cultural erasure. The reality I experienced was the exact opposite.
1. The Old City of Kashgar
One of the most striking examples of cultural preservation is the Old City of Kashgar. Canadian politicians describe a region being "flattened" or "assimilated." Yet, I walked through the labyrinthine alleyways of this ancient Uygur city, which has been meticulously preserved as a historical site. The local government didn’t tear it down; they invested in upgrading the infrastructure, running water, natural gas lines, and earthquake proofing, while maintaining the traditional Uygur architecture, wooden pillars, and intricate brickwork.
In the evenings, I watched in the alleyways while children ran through streets paved with traditional kuzi bricks. This wasn’t a ghost town; it was a living, breathing historical center.
2. The Grand Bazaar and Livelihoods
The Id Kah Bazaar in Kashgar is not only open; it is thriving. I saw Uygur artisans selling hand-engraved copperware, traditional atlas silk, and locally grown dried fruits. Far from being forced into labor, I spoke with shop owners who explained that tourism encouraged by the government’s infrastructure investments had allowed them to expand their family businesses.
If the goal were cultural genocide, as some Canadian MPs allege, why would the state invest billions into preserving the mihrabs in mosques, restoring the Id Kah Mosque (one of the largest in China), and promoting Uygur cuisine and music festivals? It simply doesn’t add up.
3. Videos from the Ground
I am sharing some videos in my posts to show the reality. In one clip, you can see Uygur dance another a traditional wedding I went too.
The Disconnect in Ottawa
As a Canadian, this embarrasses me. We claim to be a nation that stands for truth and reconciliation. Yet, when given the opportunity to send independent observers or journalists to verify facts, our government often chooses to boycott or criticize the very invitation for transparency.
If our Parliament is going to make accusations as severe as "genocide" and "concentration camps," the onus is on them to provide evidence. My three trips over the last nine months provided evidence of the opposite: a region where Uygur culture is not only preserved but celebrated, and where the so-called "camps" are actually vocational training centres, facilities I drove by I that looked into them focused on giving people skills in Mandarin and industrial skills.

@jose_ville1 @Timesofiraan But China (its current government) has only been in power since October 1, 1949. Iran has had its current government since February 11, 1979, India on January 26, 1950. So, while the people have been there governments have changed.

@WhiteOreoNinja @BenzNPenz @Wario64 What isn’t true about what I said? You come in here talking about Edward Snowden and try to compare that situation with the totalitarian communist surveillance apparatus of China. Stop trying to one up me and admit that what I said is true. Go live there then 😂

You are asking the wrong question to the wrong person.
You are talking to someone who grew up on the receiving end of Western power, not someone who learned geopolitics from Netflix.
I do not have a problem condemning imperialism "from all sides."
I have a problem pretending that all "sides" are equal when one bloc:
Built 800+ military bases abroad.
Controls the global reserve currency.
Runs the main sanction machinery.
Overthrew dozens of governments on every continent.
And backs the last open-air concentration camp in Gaza while calling it "self-defense."
That bloc is not Russia.
That bloc is not China.
That bloc is the U.S., its European vassals, and its little settler attack dog in West Asia.
So let’s be specific.
When Russia moves in Ukraine, the West calls it "naked imperialism."
When NATO creeps east for 30 years, tears up arms control treaties, backs coups in Kiev, and turns Ukraine into a forward operating base, that is somehow not imperialism, just "security architecture."
When China insists that Taiwan is part of its own historical and legal space, it is "aggression."
When the U.S. sails warships 10,000 kilometers from home, encircles China with bases and missiles, arms separatists, and openly talks about "containing" Chinese growth, that is sold as "defending democracy."
You see the pattern, right?
You only ask me, "Why don’t you condemn Russia and China?" because you swim in a narrative where what Washington and Brussels do is never named as empire, only as "order," "stability," or "rules-based."
Let me make my position clear:
If Moscow tomorrow starts stealing other people’s resources, installing puppet regimes on other continents, and sanctioning entire populations into famine, I will call that imperialism.
If Beijing starts running coups in Latin America, crushing African economies with IMF-style conditionality, and building Guantánamo-style black sites, I will call that imperialism.
But that is not where we are.
Right now, what I see is:
Russia responding to 30 years of NATO encirclement on its own borders, asserting the red lines any serious state would draw to defend its survival.
China reacting strategically to a century of humiliation, rebuilding itself with discipline and patience, and securing its own periphery against a foreign navy that has no legitimate reason to be at its doorstep except to keep it down.
You want to treat that as equal to:
Iraq 2003, a war of choice based on lies.
Libya 2011, a "no-fly zone" turned state destruction.
Afghanistan, 20 years of occupation and then walking away.
Chile, Congo, Indonesia, Iran, Guatemala, Vietnam, Nicaragua, Grenada, Panama, Yugoslavia, Syria, the list is almost endless.
So no, I do not "only" criticize Western imperialism.
I criticize the center of gravity of imperialism.
If a tiger bites you once and a mosquito bites you three times, you do not write a long essay about "both sides of biting." You deal with the animal that can actually kill you first.
That is what the Global South is doing.
You ask: "Why not condemn what Russia is doing in Ukraine?"
Because every Western politician and newspaper is already screaming about it 24/7, while carefully deleting the NATO, coup, and proxy-war context that led there.
My voice is not needed to reinforce the loudest propaganda machine on Earth.
You ask: "Why not condemn what China wants to do regarding Taiwan?"
Because for 150 years, European and American ships, soldiers, missionaries, and bankers carved Asia into zones like they were slicing cake.
China trying to secure reunification, however you feel about it, is not the same category as Europeans crossing oceans to carve up continents that never threatened them.
Russia wants a security buffer on its immediate border after centuries of invasions from the West.
China wants to finish a civil war and prevent a hostile military alliance from turning its front porch into a NATO aircraft carrier.
The U.S. wants no one, anywhere, to have the ability to say "no" to its sanctions, its dollar system, its bases, its vetoes, its bombardments.
You can pretend those are all "imperialisms" on the same moral plane.
I do not.
I live in a world where:
Washington arms Israel while it erases Palestinians in real time.
Brussels lectures Africa on "values" while backing French neocolonial currency systems.
The same Europe that starved my part of the world through colonies now calls Russian gas a "security threat" and Chinese investment "economic warfare."
And you want to talk to me about "balance"?
Here is my balance:
The U.S., Europe, and Israel are the primary axis of global violence today.
Russia and China are big powers with their own interests, but they are also the ones pushing back against a unipolar order that has strangled the Global South for generations.
If one day they become what the West is now, I will turn the same knife on them.
Until then, I am not confused about where the main gun is pointed.

@MclDave @LMillerInATL @DefNotDarth @allenanalysis how does this even looks like he’s in a position to be shooting anything

English

It was always bad but the idea now is was it justified. We need a serious investigation into this. We need that officer on leave not re assigned. Shooting a man believed to be armed could be justified. Hind sight is better because we got to see other angles and slow motion. This happened quickly.
English

@MclDave @LMillerInATL @DefNotDarth @allenanalysis But even before the shooting, the agents escalated a physical confrontation with the guy when he was only recording w phone in 1 hand and the other hand up. They were walking him back pushing him to the sidewalk before they pushed the lady over and pepper sprayed him
English

@MclDave @LMillerInATL @DefNotDarth @allenanalysis Yeah but the end of the day they shot an unarmed guy who they thought was armed. Is that not still bad to you?
English

@Xsoped @LMillerInATL @DefNotDarth @allenanalysis exactly. Now you understand their point of view. They had no idea he was disarmed.
English

@LMillerInATL @DefNotDarth @allenanalysis piss poor ? they were being shot at. They took the appropriate measure. You just want them to die ? Dude when you get shot at you react you dont think.

🇨🇳 Famous Chinese “Nail Houses”!
China's "nail houses" are stubborn homes left standing during rapid urban development because owners refuse demolition, holding out for better compensation, like a nail in wood, becoming symbols of individual resistance against massive construction projects, often forcing developers to build roads and buildings around them.

Nick Fuentes on Donald Trump’s sick and demented comments about the murder of Rob Reiner and his wife.
“When Trump goes and makes fun of a celebrity that dies, this is more cowardice.”
“Charlie Kirk was murdered, and what actually happened in the aftermath of that? … just stop with the larp … Trump is a sick person. He’s a sick, vain, narcissistic person.”
“Charlie Kirk was his close personal friend. Charlie Kirk in many ways got Trump elected. Charlie Kirk got shot in the head. Trump could not care less.”
“You get some old Hollywood guy, who’s on TV, attack Trump as a partisan Democrat … when that guy dies Trump is going to gloat. Because that is the sort of thing he cares about, because he’s vain.”
“This is ugly rhetoric … it’s actually evil … nobody deserves that. I don’t care what their politics are … it’s despicable to make fun of that.”
“Who could honest to God look at that and laugh?”
“There was never anything there … it was always empty … I think he believes, honestly, in nothing.”
