- Lib: China bad
- Actual leftist: It's not that simple and you're being lied to.
- Lib: ok but China still bad
- Actual leftist: Here are some sources to read up on.
- Lib: ugh don't make me research, it's probably propaganda, and anyway, let me reiterate my point--China bad
Can we talk though about how half of the sources cited by leftists to dispute claims of human rights violations look exactly like shitty CIA propaganda used to convince people the US isn't repressing minority groups? Like someone linked me a website the other day that said "if the Chinese government were oppressing Uighur Muslims then why are there so many happy Muslims in the region?" That's some TPUSA level bullshit. Other sources are more convincing, but come on guys let's make an effort
Excuse me I get all of my reading on China from "JimsNewMaoistStruggle.blog.com" and it seems perfect reliable to me.
Unfortunately that's my biggest issue with this struggle session.
Yeah that kind of shit tends to undercut our credibility.
There's definitely a tendency to seemingly match the tone of imperialist propaganda which is an urge that should be resisted, but we cannot only rely on a dry scientific style because a lot of people will not listen to that.
my question is, if the drop in population growth was the result of forced sterilization, why did one of the largest regions see the exact same drop in the same year. I dont think they sterilized a bunch of Han Chinese too. Also, why would they publish those numbers if they're covering up a genocide?
