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.

    Is it cope? Scapegoating? Plain racism?

    Does anti-communist brainworms count?

    I just don't get it, like okay, be anti-commie if you want, but why the fuck do you want to overthrow foreign governments? It's hypocritical coming from supposedly pro-peace libs.

      to open new markets and destroy fixed capital, both of which will temporarily paper over the falling rate of profit. that's not a conscious motivation for the squishy libs, but they will follow obediently the mainstream progression as bourgeois media demonizes the enemy and invents atrocities. pro-peace libs are against all wars except the current ones
