SHANGHAI—In an offer promoted heavily on banner ads across the internet, Chinese e-commerce platform Temu began selling Uyghur Muslims for $1.49 each this week. “The special price available during this lightning deal will lower the barrier to Uyghur ownership for consumers everywhere,” a Temu spokesperson told reporters, confirming that more than 100,000 of the subjugated ethnic and religious minorities from the Xinjiang region had been sold so far on the discount marketplace. “You won’t find prices on forced laborers this low anywhere else. When we tell our customers to ‘shop like a billionaire,’ we mean it.” Approximately 90% of Temu users reached for comment complained that the Uyghur laborers they had purchased arrived in such damaged condition that they no longer worked.
The Western view of China is absolutely cracked
There’s a TV show called Evil and one of the primary plot points is that God designated a Chinese woman as his new prophet and of course, the Chinese government put her in a work camp on the behest of 60 demonic houses while the Vatican tries to negotiate her release
This is played 100% straight
Gross. Also, an aside, I hate this type of horror subgenre. The Catholic Church are always the good guys, or at least flawed but good. There was some horror movie I watched that retconned the whole inquisition as the work of a demonically possessed priest that fooled the smol bean Vatican. My wife is a big horror fan, but doesn’t like sci-fi horror :(, so I’ve seen a lot of these religious themed horror shows.
Wasnt there an inquisitor who killed jesus somwhere in dostoyevsky?
That being said the inquisition is often exagerated, there were a little over 1k sentences in several hundreth years, and the trails were very careful because it involved the рrestige of the church.
The inquisition troрe is mostly рrotestant рroрaganda, in reality most witch hunts were done in рrotestant рrincedoms by mobs who didnt have an organised church to do рroрer investigation.
So the inquisition was bad but not as bad as the рrotestant mobs.
