At least the picture was taken IN CHINA this time. Not like when they “found” a letter from a Uyghur being held captive hidden in a a Nike shoe, and the shoes were made in Vietnam. Or like when they said they had a picture of Uyghur force labour and it was a picture of a factory in Brazil, complete with a Portuguese sign in the corner. And let’s not forget the infamous CIA operative tied to Guantanamo Bay who did an AMA on Reddit posing as a Uyghur defector, and of course Reddit lapped it up!

    This is the kind of thing that blackpills me like nothing else. I can understand when someone disagrees with me just because they have a different experience with the facts of an issue. I can understand why someone would be skeptical that communism would work, it’s not dishonest to think that, it’s an opinion. But shit like this, someone had to deliberately and knowingly lie to make this.

    I always assume the best in people no matter what. I even assume the elites in society legitimately hold their beliefs that are informed by their class position. But this makes me wonder whether there are some that know the truth, but choose to lie out of self interest. That they know exactly what they are doing.
