    Once when I compared the Uyghur genocide conspiracy to WMDs in Iraq, I had a Lemmy Worlder unironically reply “They’re completely different! WMDs in Iraq was just a claim from the Bush admin, but we have satellite pictures of the Uyghur genocide!”.

      They are completely different and this is a dumbass comment.

      Just because a massive organization made up of millions of people lied once doesn’t mean everything else they ever say is a lie. That’s dumbass child level reasoning. Present sourced evidence that contradicts the sourced infromation in the wikipedia article or don’t bother commenting.

        It seems you are unaware that these kinds of lies are rampant and have been documented for decades, to the point where reliable patterns have emerged:

        • Michael Parenti, 1986: Inventing Reality: The Politics Of The Mass Media
        • Edward Herman & Noam Chomsky, 1988: Manufacturing Consent: The Political Economy of the Mass Media.
          A five minute primer: Noam Chomsky - The 5 Filters of the Mass Media Machine

        .

        Perhaps you’re unaware of many of the US’s atrocities, because many are hidden or distorted through the above methods. Nobody lies like the imperial core propaganda machine.

          Here is an alternative Piped link(s):

          Noam Chomsky - The 5 Filters of the Mass Media Machine

          Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.
