I am very smart.

The propoganda I am talking about are the competing narratives of "there is a genocide happening" versus "there is not a genocide happening".

Personally, I have no idea if there is one or not. Mostly because I've lost the ability to trust any reporting coming out of the US media apparatus/leadership thanks to years of it being utterly unreliable bullshit. There could be a genocide happening there which China is effectively running a cover for by telling me that US reporting is unreliable, or the US could be scaremongering things that are otherwise innocuous for their geopolitical purposes.

I literally don't know, do you have sufficient certainty to *know* which of those is true?

EDIT: Being less abrasive, because I think you've misunderstood me.

Good news: the US is not the only country with a media!

The trick is to check what Human Rights Watch and Amnesty International say. If the person you are arguing with says that those organisations are Western and therefore intrinsically unreliable, you've got yourself a tankie. Bonus points if they ascribe to the CIA the same level of sheer evil, unlimited power and necessity for constant watchfulness that the Catholic Church ascribes to Satan.

Thanks, that's good advice, I'll check their stuff out since those orgs are definitely ones that I trust.

I've found it very hard to find sources that are both reliable and doing their own investigating/reporting rather than reprinting from other sources.

Something that I have struggled with is that a lot of the reporting from Israel/Palestine has media from other countries reprinting Israeli media sources which themselves are reprinting press releases from the government. So even though there are a bunch of different sources from the media of different countries are actually all ending up coming from the same place.

Why listen to propaganda at all when you can just talk to a Uyghur about their family experiences, or check out their refugee claims.

If I had access to someone with first hand experience I wouldn't have the problem of being unsure what reporting to believe, you get that, right?

If you are going to respond with "watch a TV interview". Then I'd ask which interviewed Uyghurs should I believe? Because I've seen interviews with people saying different things. Hell look at the interviews you see with people regarding Cuba where there's a large Cuban population in Florida with a massive axe to grind because they were from the landowning class that the dictatorship benefited.

Please, can you at least try to think through what you are saying?
