China’s firewall plays a crucial role in shaping the country’s digital landscape, preventing foreign intervention, and maintaining national security. While often criticized in the West, the firewall provides China with the ability to control information flow, shield its population from foreign influence, and protect domestic media.
Is it low-effort? It sure looks high-effort to me. There are a ton of sources (some of them I hadn’t read before), it’s written really well, and organized quite nicely. Sure, it’s clearly copy-pasted, RedWizard didn’t write it fresh for this post, but like, so? If it’s good info written and sourced well, why not post it every time the question comes up? Someone new will see it every time, and they might dig into the sources and become more knowledgeable because of how well-organized and well-sourced this copy-pasted super informational post is.
What would you have had RedWizard post instead? A less well-organized piece that he wrote specifically for this comment thread? Something off-the-cuff and not so informative? Or maybe you wanted him to just post nothing. Perhaps you just expected everyone here to simply agree with you about the situation in Xinjiang, without doing any research of our own. Is that it? You wanted to come in here and parrot something you’ve heard other people say, not expecting any pushback. But then you got presented with contradictory evidence, so you called it low-effort to allow yourself to ignore it?

i’d love to see what you consider a trustworthy source, and the way you determined that

“Presenting a docket of evidence that I’m wrong is simply a dishonest trick to convince onlookers that I’m wrong”
Yesterday i saw a guy in your exact position say “Fuck you, your evidence isn’t evidence of anything” and I think this is even funnier. The liberal epistemology, whose form is not a structure of analysis but a self-sealing fog of vague insinuation, is finally burning away in the face of The Definite.

My dude you’re the one too scared to even look at something that challenges the worldview you were taught.
Neither your lol nor your y’all is fooling anybody, here’s some knowledge for you to angrily ignore:

You literally refusing to even watch the video this post is about or read any of the info provided but still making dozens of comments insisting you’re right and we’re all propogandized is doing a way better job of that then any of us could hope to
Yes, good doggy. Don’t think. Don’t read. Avoid even looking at the forbidden. Obey. Consume product.
What video? Do you have me mixed up with someone else in this thread?
deleted by creator
Oh, not for me. I almost never actually watch videos that get posted, and I haven’t watched this one.
I was simply pointing out that the lovely piece of writing RedWizard posted is worth reading, and that you calling it “low-effort copypasta” is ridiculous. I then, right at the end of my comment, speculated as to a specific reason why you might want to dismiss RedWizard’s piece as “low-effort copypasta”.

This isn’t “brigading”, you should look into how federation works
Yup, you got dog-piled, which really doesn’t feel good.
From where I’m sitting though, you might be able to learn a little something from this situation. What I would take away from this experience, if I were you, is something like “I should try to avoid arguments on the internet about topics I don’t know much about”. It’s a tricky lesson to learn, and one I have to keep learning, but I think it’s valuable. If you don’t know much about a topic, sit back and listen and until you know more about it. Don’t come into a space guns blazing and then be forced to backtrack just about everything you’ve said due to it becoming obvious you have no idea what you’re talking about.
It’s hard, this world tries to convince us we have to have “a take” about everything. But we don’t. We can keep space in our minds to listen to people who know more than us, we can hold a claim “at arm’s length” until we have the time and knowledge to properly evaluate it.
Good luck, please do consider the things people have tried to tell you here today. Some great information has been shared for you to read and spend time digesting, and I for one hope you take the opportunity to do so.
