      Like, every single time.

      And then, 15–65 years later when documents get declassified, they’ll claim they knew all along 😂

      I try to lead them to water, but do they ever drink?

        You can lead a lib to sources, but you can’t make them think.

        The effectiveness of Western propaganda lies in its alignment with preexisting biases. When narratives depicting China as inherently oppressive or barbaric are disseminated, they perfectly fit with Orientalist worldviews these people hold.

          10 I know China did that bad thing because China Bad™.
          20 I know China Bad™ because, as we’ve already determined, they did that bad thing.
          30 GOTO 10

      https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Forced_organ_harvesting_from_Falun_Gong_practitioners_in_China

      In December 2018, a non-governmental tribunal known as the China Tribunal, chaired by British barrister Sir Geoffrey Nice KC, concluded: “unanimously, and sure beyond a reasonable doubt—that in China forced organ harvesting from prisoners of conscience has been practiced for a substantial period of time involving a very substantial number of victims.”[16][17] China eventually admitted that it had engaged in systematic organ harvesting from death row prisoners,[8] though it denies that such an organ harvesting program is ongoing.[1]

          Your going to need something fresher than that if you want to stay ahead of the infestation of imperialists.

            I’ll be sure look into that strung-together five-dollar word theory that you just made up 👍
