The libs focus on what they’re told to focus on. It’s just that simple. In a few years (if we’re not all dry and crispy) when the truth is out about Ukraine people will swear they never believed it at the same time that they’re telling you the Chinese are planning to blow up the moon.

This is one of several NED funded organisations created to spread lies and propaganda to manufacture consent for American warmongering.

These two are from long before there were ever any allegations of any kind of genocide. There was US funded terrorism going on, that’s all.

This is from 2005, the US was bombing Xingjiang at the time and funding extremism to make trouble for China.

It originally started with a report authored by Adrian Zenz, a far-right fundamentalist Christian who opposes homosexuality and gender equality, supports “scriptural spanking” of children, and believes he is “led by God” on a “mission” against China. He says he interviewed 8 people and came to his conclusions about millions of people in prison. He’s a senior fellow in China studies at the far-right “Victims of Communism Memorial Foundation”, which was established by the US government in 1983. He also thinks that Jews who don’t convert to Christianity should be wiped out.
Nobody said he was 100% perfect, whatever his takes on low hanging fruit such as South America do nothing to excuse his deep throating sinophobic CIA rhetoric against the Chinese. If the US focus was currently on South America I’ve no doubt he’d be singing a different tune, fuck him. There’s no comeback for him without a massive grovelling apology.
I think we all have to get over the user interface differences and make a big effort to make this place work. If we can get a critical mass of people it can avalanche into a thriving hub.
