Kind of amazing how many instances are blocking lemmygrad as soon as they’re created. I know that liberals really don’t like dissenting opinions but goddamn

    I’m fine with being hyper critical of sources, what I don’t understand is, if you go down that route dismissing sources because of some clandestine connection, why isn’t this applicable to any source? Western media controlled by the CIA or whatever with an agenda of demonizing socialism, media controlled by socialist countries with an agenda of demonizing capitalism. It’s so weird only extending that scepticism to western media

      Well, here’s the thing, it’s impossible to be completely objective. So I choose to trust socialist sources because socialism makes more sense to me, and America has lied before.

      About Xinjiang— It really is a campaign against terrorism, and not just in Xinjiang. I saw anti-terror slogans plastered on walls when I went back in 2018 or something. And now there is nearly no terrorism in China. All the “proof” for camps are blurry satellite images. It’s an awfully weak reed to rest on. And all the articles cite each other back and forth, all the way to “Adrian Zenz”, apparently some christo-fascist dude who thinks jews will die in the rapture.

      Yeah.
