Does anyone have a method of deprogramming liberals who believe in the Uyghur genocide? I have a new friend who is good on Palestine but awful on Xinjiang. Very AP-brained and trusting of western propaganda. He’s well-read and is open to having his ideas challenged, so looking for something well-sourced or he’d probably disregard it. I found a debunking video that came out right after the original Zenz “report” that references a 51-page leaked document released by Zenz. It goes through 6 points and shows how Zenz’s own documents contradicts his claims of human rights abuses. The issue is that it’s from a small creator and I can’t find the referenced document, so I can’t point him directly to the facts and bypass the youtube video, which would likely be seen as insufficient.

This is part 1 of the debunk:

    The only thing they have is the picture of prisoners being blindfolded while being transferred between prisons

    And that was an old video of IIRC a pyramid scheme being broken up.

    and people/prisoners at a drug rehab sitting down listening to a lecture

    That was a seminar about education opportunities for prison inmates in general, and the picture was from the official website of the program itself which was IIRC a traveling lecture series that went around to inform inmates and their families about different education options.

    Let’s see, there was also a blurry video of a factory, except it was just some random factory in Brazil with the Portuguese text on signs still faintly visible.
