There totally aren’t actual Uyghurs who have told their own stories or anything like that.

Just because someone says something doesn’t mean it’s true. Do you think cops ever lie when they testify?

99% of the time, calling someone a genocide denier is just burden shifting. Genocide is a crime; you have to prove it happened, you can’t simply assert it did and then smear anyone who asks for evidence.
We have spy satellites that can read a license plates and genocides, by their very nature, leave a lot of evidence. If there were a genocide in Xinjiang we’d have what we see in Palestine: tons of documentation in a wide variety of news outlets about crimes against civilians and actions like UN officials resigning in protest.

So there’s a whole fucking Hundred Acre Wood exhibit, Pooh and all, but I guess if you text someone about it Xi appears from under your bed and black bags you?
You have your sink to eat over, too!

It’s absolutely common practice to get permits to film in public places and historic sites:
Lmao that’s an entirely different thing than “you need government permission to make a film with a certain type of subject material.”
This is stupid even in the world of social credit score jokes that were fresh a decade ago. Praising China (here, just saying something accurate) would increase your credit score, you dolt.
How can you have lived through the War on Terror and trust anything the U.S. says about its designated enemies?
No one was held accountable and many of the people who lied then are still in power, but I’m sure we’re good this time!
Fascism is when I don’t like a government, and the more I dislike it the more fascist it is
Incredible potential for this format

Twitter doesn’t generate profits:
Twitter has been operating at a massive loss for years, failing to book an annual profit since 2019 (Mauer, 2022). For eight out of the last ten years, the company has posted a loss.
If anyone wants to nitpick over the 2/10 years when they reported profitability, consider the real value of getting in the black twice in company history in an environment where you’re gearing up for a an IPO. The long-term trend is clearly that this is not a viable business model.

You’re not that important, don’t worry
How about firsthand testimony that can be corroborated. If you’ve ever been in court for anything, it’s standard to not simply take whatever story you hear at face value.
So point to a story you’re saying is true, then show how it can be corroborated (by video? by documentation?). Show how there is no realiatic alternate explanation. Explain how your corroborated story amounts to genocide, and isn’t just a story about someone being arrested, for instance.
