Had exactly this kind of cognitive disonant moment with a friend of mine the other day. They were going off about Chinese persecution of Uighurs (which is terrible and should stop). When I pointed out that the Chinese government claims this as an antiterror campaign and compared it to America's disasterous antiterror campaign they were not having it. P.S. Before I get dogpiled, I am not saying that one justifies the other or that they are identical.
