0:00.0 | A new report from the Atlantic says that China has interned 1 million muslims, that they're |
0:05.9 | treating Islam like a mental illness, with some quotes calling it a psychological disease |
0:10.5 | that must be stopped from spreading. Now, some people describe these concentration camps |
0:16.2 | as hospitals or reeducation centers, but regardless, there are people being detained by the government |
0:22.0 | because of their religion. And China's never been a shining example of free thought and liberal |
0:27.4 | culture. They even have a word for social justice warrior, which they call bightswap, which literally |
