I was going to post "no problem Mr. Zenz", but instead I've decided to be sincere.
I recently posted a critical comment on one of your article posts. I cited specific sections which were repating Zenz's claims. Your response was to say that meant the article was good. Now you complain here about "being called a trot".
If you want to piss people on this forum off, that's fine and it's your right. But maybe find a different way to do it than repeating literal, actual CIA propaganda.
Yes, that article was 98% shitting on the US and how they fucked up in Afghanistan and only partially mentioned China. And sorry that i replied that but i'm kinda tired arguing about it all the time, since it's years and i'm not at all convinced still that what is going on in China is "voluntary vocational courses" or what they call it.
BTW i'm not even trying to piss anyone off, i dump articles here i want to read later, so of course there will be shit among them, you're absolutely right to call those out, but they don't necessarily mirror my views.
Fair enough, my response was pretty keyed up too. I'm pretty touchy on the propaganda thing because it bothers me to see leftists (those who write the articles, I mean) repeating the CIA points.
I do think there's a discussion to be had on the precise methods of China's de-radicalization programs and such, and it's unfortunate the propaganda muddies the water so much and makes that harder. Hope you have a good day!
Thanks for the demo
