So I hop on reddit (big mistake ik) and I see this headline about China performing forced sterilizations on Uighur women. I look at the article and is there any actual evidence? Of course not. Its some woman in a Turkish nail salon who claims she performed 500 abortions. I'd like to remind you that Uighur birthrates are only down 4% across China, likely a consequence of increased development.*

So how do the top minds at reddit react?

Modern day Nazis

Neo Nazis

I'd go with Turbonazis

And when people challenge this completely unsourced claim....

Skepticism is good but there is no reason to assume things are not worse than what is being reported.

Weird how this accounts ONLY posts are defending the CCP in their 2 years active. Weird considering the CCP has an active social media campaign paying people to deflect and defend them...

Why do people believe things that are likely just propaganda? Is it 9:00 AM at Langley or do all Americans have brainworms?

*Edit: Seems I misinterpreted this stat, the 4% is a national figure not specific to the Uighur people.

    The blithe solipsism of your average reddit lib is a terrifying thing to see in action. If reddit told them that anyone who goes against US propaganda is actually a secret Chinese android, they'd have the mega-gallows built by noon
