I know that. You know that. The average left-of-centre person who's not already into the whole critical support for China thing doesn't know that. And unfortunately, it's not the hill I want to die on, because I'm not really a fan of incarceration in any case (yes, I'm aware these are re-education camps for extremists, no, I don't have a better idea, that doesn't mean I like it). There's so much propaganda to cut through to get the average left-of-centre person to the truth on the matter, enough that one missed step in the discussion and you lose them. I'm not good enough to do that, and it's an exhausting conversation to have. I leave it to other comrades.

A lot of the arguments against it have shades of real life holocaust denial arguments. Yes, there's a difference in the reality behind the arguments, but it's just that close enough to make the average person uncomfortable and I'm not nearly good enough with rhetoric or good enough at dealing with conflict to wanna get involved, y'know?
