Mostly just being a jackass. I think it’s hilarious that the Mao apologist are applauding people being taken from their communities to inevitably end up fueling the capitalist machine. But hey I guess anything to avoid upsetting Daddy Xi. You can paint anything with a pretty picture. The Canadians perfected that with their reeducation programs. Just assimilating the non conformist into our glorious economy and culture. Nothing to see here!
If you think this situation is like what Canada did to its indigenous population, you’re projecting. Beyond that, trying to have it both ways with “Mao apologist” and “Daddy Xi” just goes to further demonstrate you don’t really have anything to say but that you think you’re superior.
As an aside, it’s hilarious that you depict Mao as somehow antithetical to “taking people from their communities”. He cared about community and wanted to foster it, but he also believed and put into practice that people sometimes had to be at least temporarily transplanted to new environments, all the way from the mass-rehabilitation of opiate addicts at the end of the Civil War to the education-by-labor of the Cultural Revolution. Like in those cases, the Uighur people interned here are not being permanently separated from their families or communities, but receiving education and training so that when they return, they have more options immediately available to them besides joining theofascist militants.
