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:

Guess they figured out deporting a "heroic refugee" wouldn't support the genocide myth

Oh did he get a stay of extradition?

Maybe I'm being too naive about how he'd be treated in China, but it would have been inconvenient for the US to send a friendly "enemy of the Chinese state" back to China only for him to just.. get on with his life with a more secure future than he probably has in America.

He'd go from being no longer of use to the US to (probably) being a living counterexample to the ridiculous falsehoods they want everyone to swallow uncritically. Like it'd just be an unforced error.
