Hey Chapos, Does anyone have a list of resources on how the Falun Gong are behind the vast majority of information we get about Xinjiang, and the organ harvesting, etc? I'm writing a research paper and i know I came across this on reddit but it probably got deleted with the ban.

    Lol, not much for book learnin' are we? If every person who spent their life researching a topic told me I was wrong, I'd be a bit concerned. Thankfully, I find that usually academia seems more hostile to left-wing ideas from the outside; the academics chosen to be interviewed on the TV or in major newspapers are often following a liberal line, but that doesn't mean there aren't plenty of people doing work that can be useful to leftists in the field. This is more a problem with journalism than the academy.

    The point of my post is that literally everything you say could be true (it isn't, but not getting into it), and the comrade who asked the question would still get a bad grade on his paper if he used these dubious sources. Maybe he's happy to sacrifice his grades, but he should be aware of that risk.
