That's not the issue. The issue is that it's impossible to even have a nuanced and honest conversation about it because any hint about it gets automatically removed.
What nuance do you want for an event that didn't occur? Yeah let's have a nuanced discussion about Saddam's WMD now we're at it.
Also you can have a discussion about it in china and just with chinese people in general. Just not with a chatbot or as some inflammatory forum post. Which, frankly, is ideal, considering what doing fuck-all about disinformation has brought us in the west.
What do you mean it didn't occur? Something obviously happened, and it's only a question of whether my government’s version of the events is true.
My entire RedNote feed Americans whether it's true that George Orwell books are banned in China (they're not), and Chinese asking whether it's true that American schools have shooter drills. Of course I'd like to ask them about the first thing most Americans think of when they hear the word "China." Unfortunately, I can't, and I'm stuck with only one version of the events (and I'm not going to rely on Western Hexbear users to get the other version).
I'm glad history to you is finding the right person to confirm your already held beliefs. I think the word for that starts with an "r" and ends with "-acism."
Do not question this at all of course. There is no propaganda in America. We all are free-thinkers.
