    … You really actually believe all this, don’t you?

    I’m just wondering options here. Mental illness, maybe? Lack of basic education? Paid shill? I mean, there are options to explain you, but none of them are very goo

    You use a post from a Chinese controlled media outlet to show that there really isn’t a genocide happening with the uyghurs, even when the rest of the word says there is? You prefer to believe the words of state media in a dictatorship over actual photo and video evidence? You prefer “good is bad, up is down” rhetoric over the actual testimonies of uyghurs themselves?

    Yeah, I’ll go with paid shill
