Libs: “THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO QUESTION THAT THERE’S GENOCIDE IN XINJIANG, AND IF YOU DARE TO BRING UP THE LACK OF EVIDENCE OF ANY SORT OF ABUSE FOR THE PAST 3 YEARS YOU’LL GET BANNED!!!”

Also libs: “Didn’t you know that 15k of the 40k humans murdered in Gaza were actually terrorists? it-is-known Also, lots of civilians die in wars like the one happening in Gaza, it’s sad but inevitable”

    They know there’s no genocide going on in China. However, they need a narrative to justify sinophobia and anti-communism.

    I think a lot of people heard “China is doing a genocide” five years ago, took it as fact, and have simply baked it into their worldview ever since.

      Libs and chuds do the same thing with the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact. Hell, I’ve heard people spew the “Soviets allied with the Nazis” tripe without even knowing the name of the pact; it’s just accepted as common knowledge.

      They took it as fact because it justifies American exceptionalism. There’s no critical thought around it because it helps spurn the narrative of the US being the world’s greatest democracy. If you start thinking other countries have better rights and freedoms than the US, that narrative falls apart.

      This same tactic has been used to demonize North Korea and Iraq. Liberals know this, which is why they continue using it against countries like China and Palestine.
