The antagonism is uncalled for, I literally just replied to the other commenter who provided lots of sources in hopes we could discuss further, some of which definitely made me more informed. You don’t have to attack me just because I don’t see the world the same way you do.
You literally could have just said “hey, the person who wrote that article or was the primary source has background you might want to research”
I didn’t see an author listed on that article so instead I looked at what the hrc has been criticized for, and it led me to believe they were fairly willing to criticize both the west and the PRC. What tells you that Adrian Zenz is the source for the paper? His name is never mentioned in it, so it’s not like there’s any good way I could have known that, or check it now that you’ve said so.
I’m happy to discuss and learn why you have a different perception of things than I do, just dont be a dick to me. I’ve read the bulk of two Wikipedia pages (linked by another pro PRC commenter in this thread), read a couple additional articles, and done my best to get some background on like 4 sources/authors now just trying to run down what y’all think and why it’s different from what I do because I’m interested in talking to people I don’t already agree with, I don’t see how acting like I’m a fucking idiot for having any perspective other than yours is productive or helpful to anyone’s cause
If everyone can tell what’s propaganda and what’s not, and which narrative is fake, it wouldn’t be very good propaganda. That was my point. It’s extremely difficult to discern whether your beliefs are propaganda, or mine are. But I’m fucking willing to try, I do my best. Don’t be a dick.
