    All you’ve shown is that […]

    Dog, I don’t got to show you shit! Your claim was that there’s a genocide. The onus is on you to prove that extraordinary claim with extraordinary evidence. You are confused.

    All you’ve shown is that the OHCHR report in one footnote out of hundreds cited Zenz who works for a right-wing think tank.

    Okay, just for fun, lets pick another footnote at random.

    1. See for example, research by S. Zhang, https://medium.com/@shawnwzhang and “Detention Facilities in the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region”, Xinjiang Victims Database

    This footnote itself does not reference Zenz. Let’s look at it.

    And when we look at the sources…

    Whoops! More Zenz! These types of reports use all sorts of circular citations that all lead back to that Nazi.

      all lead back to that Nazi.

      You’re extremely reluctant to address the fact that your use of that tweet out of context amounts to disinformation, aren’t you? You really tiptoed around it this entire comment; it’s almost funny to watch you contort yourself, because you know owning up to it will make you look like a complete idiot and that denying it will make you look like a bigger one. You had to pull a “[…]” on the entire substance of the argument.

      You now know beyond a shadow of a doubt that the tweet was denouncing the Nazi regime (even though you already should’ve suspected and checked yourself), and you’re still implicitly using that to call Zenz a “Nazi”. Even then, Brophy rightly points out that reducing this to the machinations of right-wing think tanks is disingenuous propaganda – in an article you also refuse to acknowledge debunking the AI slop you introduced here.

      I’m going to leave it at that, because it’s completely evident at this point that you’re a shameless liar, that you don’t care about making good-faith arguments and prefer to take material out of context as a cheap “gotcha”, that you’ll try to manufacture logical fallacies where they don’t exist, and that you’re a tankie totally divorced from reality.
