      The truth is out now.

      What truth? Who talks like this and thinks it means something?

        For the past week the people of China and the United States, as well as other countries have been comparing notes. Debunking propaganda on both sides. Realizing that much of what we’ve all been told for years/decades, has been lies.

            For starters, that the Uyghur genocide is yet another piece of atrocity propaganda from the US. We know what a genocide looks like and how it’s impossible to hide in the modern world, as Gaza showed.

            Blurry satellite pictures of buildings and a German fascist swearing it for ten pages (financed by Raytheon and Lockheed-Martin) isn’t proof.

                Because there are some functional governments in the world that don’t allow US misinformation to spread without challenge.

                They also suppress Falun Gong, are you telling me that’s in and of itself proof that their cultist shit is one hundred percent true? If so tell me so I can laugh my ass off

                  So according to you it’s the job of a functional government to select which topics are missinformation and can be seen or not by it’s citizens?

                    Whose job would it be, corporations? Do you think the public was well served by anti-masker, anti-vax conspiracies being allowed to run rampant? Has the US benefitted from QAnon and Pizzagate being completely unopposed and sometimes boosted by social media?

                Lmao. Mehdi Hasan is an opportunist. You can check Uyghurs living in China rather than ones deliberately selected by a known ally of the US, Qatar. Extraordinary claims require proof and I haven’t seen anything other than hearsay, which is the first weapon of the CIA as with Saddam’s WMDs and Park Yeonmi’s claims of the DPRK making people pull trains by hand lmao.

                If you have any evidence that isn’t “I swear they do it”, I’ll be waiting. Though not holding my breath.

                  Oh believe me I have. Medhi Hasan is just a quick easy link to see if you were being genuine or not. Not. One of my favorite YouTubers lived in shenzhen. She doesn’t post anymore. Because she and her partner who happens to be a trans Uyghur we’re physically threatened and called out by the government for mild criticisms. Which is extremely sad since she was very good representation for people in China in general. And would have shown that the government of China isn’t as bigoted and racist as it obviously is had they simply not been so insecure that they couldn’t take such mild criticism.

                  Oh by the way congratulations on your fallacy. Attacking the messenger. You didn’t refute anything from the segment. I mean I would have been surprised. Let me tell you floored if you had. But we know better than that.

                    Easy to make claims, I’m still waiting for a single lick of evidence tho.

                    That segment had a whole lot of claims, again, with no evidence, so how can I refute what hasn’t been proven? It’s refuted by default.

        I’m not here to defend the Chinese government or anything, but there is an argument to be made that the US has an equivalency to each one of these things.

        CCP officials at tech companies - NSA backdoors

        Uyghur slaves - Prison labor aka war on drugs

        Taiwan - Gaza/Literally any “3rd world” nation with oil

        Censorship - Right wing media empires/red state bills targeted to downplay US atrocities taught in schools

        Retaliation against protestors - Police brutality Social media censorship - Oligarchs owned social media

        I think a lot of people are less falling for Chinese propaganda and more overcoming US propaganda.

          With the caveat that we have tons of actual evidence for the US equivalent, whereas the claims that China does those things are usually “We absolutely swear they do bro” from the people who swore Hamas was raping babies or whatever.

          If you think any of those are remotely the same, you’re simply delusional.

        ’d love to be wrong.

        No you wouldn’t. If you were, you’d have listen to the many people that probably have corrected you on all those State Department talking points

          That’s never happened. And being that you haven’t either, I think it’s a fair guess that it won’t anytime soon.
