This post is obviously still full of people who swallow the propaganda but there’s a surprising amount of comments calling it out, and I’m noticing that as a trend across posts. Link to the post

      Hard to navigate is right. I literally have no idea what's going on in Xinjiang. I know for a fact that the US has an interest in pushing propaganda around it, even have direct evidence of said propaganda, but it's not like China is completely trustworthy either. Every time something like this is posted on reddit there are plenty of people completely sure that China is evil and horrible, plenty of people sure it's a lie, and people accusing each other left and right of being shadow mouthpieces for one state or the other. I'm pretty convinced that the confusion is intentional at this point I just don't know what the reality is. I'm tired of trying to guess but I don't know how to find the truth.

        My feelings are I don’t really know what’s going on. I don’t think China is necessarily doing nothing wrong, but I really don’t think they’re worse than what ICE is doing to Latin American immigrants.

        I’m not going to trust anything that cites Zenz and frankly, I’d rather focus my energy on stopping the horrible things that I know for a fact are going on in my own country.

          Oh yeah, I don't believe shit that comes from Zenz or uses him as a source.
