It’s no different than how the entire Western media establishment has been relying on one-off style testimonies pushing atrocity propaganda and basing almost their entire genocide thesis off of anecdotal evidence. You’re acting like it’s my goal or duty to convince you, which is not the case. You can choose to believe what you want to believe. My simple goal here today is to make the point that the US has a long track record of manufacturing consent to achieve its geopolitical goals and that we all should be aware and on guard for it. This Uyghur genocide story throws up too many red flags for me. Here’s Lawrence Wilkerson (retired United States Army Colonel and former chief of staff to United States Secretary of State Colin Powell) being very candid about America’s interest in Xinjiang. Hint: it’s not because they care about Uyghurs. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xKBTT827b84 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xKBTT827b84

I don't think you're required to provide me anything at all. >It’s no different than how the entire Western media establishment has been relying on one-off style testimonies pushing atrocity propaganda and basing almost their entire genocide thesis off of anecdotal evidence. I think you greatly misunderstand how western media operates. But that's not really surprising. I find folks who sympathize with non free states often misunderstand that their government's propaganda is not equal to how western media operates. It's just not a 1:1.

  You are conflating my skepticism of the official US State Department narrative on China with “sympathizing with non free states”, which is quite telling. > I think you greatly misunderstand how western media operates. I definitely used to greatly misunderstand how Western media operates. I was naive to the extent that I believed the invasion of Iraq was necessary. Now I’m under no such illusions. https://swprs.org/the-propaganda-multiplier/ https://swprs.org/the-propaganda-multiplier/ https://swprs.org/the-american-empire-and-its-media/ https://swprs.org/the-american-empire-and-its-media/
