This conversation is specifically about the Uyghur genocide conspiracy theory.
Weird, I thought it was about Iraq!
The fact that the Iraqi invasion was deeply controversial at the time, and this controversy was able to be loudly expressed, stands in very stark contrast to how controversial topics in China’s recent history can be discussed. This is the main point I’m trying to make. I see you follow the lead of the Chinese government by simply refusing to discuss it, and I understand that talking about things that challenge your world view can be uncomfortable, so I’ll do you a favor by allowing this conversation to end.
I would just point out, though, that if I had responded to your initial comment about WMDs in Iraq with “Nope, not doing it,” you’d probably call me a coward or something.

My apologies, especially since you brought up WMDs in Iraq in just the best of faith.
Best of luck in your political ventures. The rhetorical bravery you’ve shown here has just been incredibly inspiring.

Scratch a tankie and a toddler bleeds, or whatever the saying is.
