    Is it really acceptable learning material though if it contains 10% truth with 90% pernicious lies? By appearing reasonable and objective about one thing they bolster the credibility of the falsehoods and misrepresentations they tell about everything else.

      In my opinion? Yes.

      It’s not for you or me, it’s for novices, people who will turn away the second you discredit any of the famous anti-government protests or deny the Uyghur genocide. They need to take small steps, or else they will be overwhelmed by disbelief. I speak from experience, as I went through the exact same thing, having been raised on a liberal diet my entire life.
