a while ago i was in an argument with an anarchist about china and they hit me with the uyghur genocide argument so i sent them the article with the CIA guy openly admitting its a fabrication and they just didnt reply so im genuinely trying to wrap my mind around it. are they just in straight up denial and ignore it when people bring it up?

OR, the more horrifying alternative, are there some who just fw with the CIA for stopping ”red fascism”?? i know some people honestly believe communists should support ukraine due to ”morals” so maybe its possible?

Both. Some are just in denial, others genuinely think the US empire is the "lesser evil".

This is what not understanding imperialism (defined by Lenin) gets you: A poor understanding of vague authorities as imperialist, with the imperial core's lord (Amerika) being portrayed as the lesser evil by some.
