It's really frustrating, I was talking to someone about how successful China has been in de-radicalization of reactionaries. But they responded to this by saying they're only successful because, and I quote "put them all in concentration camps and killed them"

Has anyone here been successful in deprogramming people about this topic? If so any good sources I can use to dissuade them? I tried telling them that the UN report, if you read it, just says that there's concerns about abuse by internment offcials, and there's no evidence of genocide. But when I say this they just dismiss it as if the UN is controlled by the PRC. It's like a religion to liberals to believe anything bad about China and can get really frustrating.

    You don't. There nobody reachable right now. Every ideology in the west has consolidated their base, everyone is going to the grave as whatever they currently are.

      My father was a Pentecostal Revivalist Hoxhaist, and I'll be damned if my children aren't educated in the snake bunker like I was.
