here--not voting for Biden ensures that Trump wins

Too late -- I didn't vote for Trump so Biden wins

I'm voting Biden

Yeah, it kind of makes sense if magic is rare, difficult to obtain, but not entirely foreign. Basically a luxury good.

To use an example luxury good, we all know what a private jet is. We couldn't build one or buy one, but we know there are people who can. It'd be cool to be in one but not some unimaginable experience.

Nazis will try to shut down your freedom to speak while protesting that they are being silenced. Then when they take power they'll just shoot you.

You don't disagree with your government; you didn't know what your government's position was until right now.

You still don't really know what your government's position is, otherwise you'd understand that here, as in many cases, there's an official stance for diplomatic relations and then a bunch of propaganda (for both domestic and foreign consumption) that undermines that official stance.

How about firsthand testimony that can be corroborated. If you've ever been in court for anything, it's standard to not simply take whatever story you hear at face value.

So point to a story you're saying is true, then show how it can be corroborated (by video? by documentation?). Show how there is no realiatic alternate explanation. Explain how your corroborated story amounts to genocide, and isn't just a story about someone being arrested, for instance.

There totally aren't actual Uyghurs who have told their own stories or anything like that.

Just because someone says something doesn't mean it's true. Do you think cops ever lie when they testify?

99% of the time, calling someone a genocide denier is just burden shifting. Genocide is a crime; you have to prove it happened, you can't simply assert it did and then smear anyone who asks for evidence.

We have spy satellites that can read a license plates and genocides, by their very nature, leave a lot of evidence. If there were a genocide in Xinjiang we'd have what we see in Palestine: tons of documentation in a wide variety of news outlets about crimes against civilians and actions like UN officials resigning in protest.

China is such an excellent test for how gullible someone is. So many people will believe any bad thing they read on the internet about it, no matter how absurd, and no matter how easy it is to disprove.

So there's a whole fucking Hundred Acre Wood exhibit, Pooh and all, but I guess if you text someone about it Xi appears from under your bed and black bags you?

You have your sink to eat over, too!

"Reality is stranger than what TV advertisers can imagine" is a lot less interesting than "reality is stranger than fiction"
