cognitive dissonance

Carlyle much?

“There is a slow-motion Third World War underway between the US-centralized power alliance and the nations like China which have resisted being absorbed into it, and that war is being largely facilitated by propaganda. If one doesn’t wish to become a propagandist themselves, one ought to withhold belief from the stories they are told about the terrible, awful things the unabsorbed nations are doing which require extensive sanctions, subversion and interventionism in response.“

Is this footage fake?

Probably.

What about this?

The cult of Vice - Columbia Journalism Review

Did you read that before posting?  It doesn't really detract from the quality of Vice's work.  Either way, the video I posted was totally legit if you care to watch and see what journalism can look like.  You won't find anyone reporting from the field on Cooterpunch unless something happens in their kitchen.

tungsten, if we could extract the energy it takes to live in your world of cognitive dissonance the world would have free energy.

Struggle to keep your hate alive.

No, the UN did not report China has ‘massive internment camps’ for Uighur Muslims

Media outlets falsely claimed the UN reported China is holding a million Uighurs in camps. The claim is based on unsourced allegations by an American commission member, US-funded outfits, and a shadowy government-funded opposition group.

That's not even controversial.

Therefore China good.

Now you're just being silly.

Therefore Uighurs are happy.

The only Uighur happiness I heard about was from the fascist Uighurs in D.C. who claim much happiness is achieved through killing Chinese. 

Viva Chavez!

Welcome, comrade chup.

Xinjiang contains the largest coal and natural gas reserves in China.  How could the tin foil hatters of NSMB missed that?

Not defending them. Just jerking your chain. Did you read what Nick wrote? The Chinese are a menace. They may well be abusing those people but always one should be skeptical/aware of who is making hay about it and their reasons for doing so.

So you have come around to the fact that it is happening as long as we all understand that communism has nothing to do with it?

It may or may not be, China ain't communist, cui bono.
