Didn't know these kinds of people existed until I showed up here. They must have been hiding on reddit or something it's insane how braindead these people are.

Mostly they got banned wherever they congregated on Reddit. Not knowing they existed seems like a significant oversight, but to be expected with the way that China is depicted to you.

I didn't realize people like legitimately fell for such obvious lies from an authoritarian government. I can understand closed of citizens inside the country but people with access to so much I formation that prooces otherwise and yet they cling to a totalitarian regimes commiting genocide. It's sad honestly.

And yet surely these people must have a reason to believe it, don't they? Even if one assumes they are wrong, this doesn't just come from nowhere, it must have some cause to seem reasonable to them, right? They are like you, thinking human beings, and no progress can be made in understanding the disagreement if you start from them being, in so many words, intellectually inferior to you.
