Here in Australia they took Aboriginal children away from their parents and put them on missions. They called them orphans while their parents were alive and trying to get them back. The missionaries would beat the children, rape them, force them to work, forbid them from speaking their language, send them outside in July without a jumper, send them to bed at 18 on bare mattresses without a sheet. If you’ve ever wondered why there are so many Indigenous people of mixed descent here in Australia, that’s your answer.
The government justified it all by saying the missions were “educating” the children.
If these Chinese education camps are anything like the Australian ones…

This is the wildest thing about propaganda, it’s always like, “If [thing] was so bad here, imagine how bad it must be in [place]!” No need to even involve facts or evidence, just use your imagination and let your preconcieved assumptions about other countries run wild.
This is where the real currency of propaganda is framing. With the right framing, every flaw and every crime committed by the West can be twisted around to cast shade on its enemies.

…There’s video. You can just check and see.
Yeah exactly. When westerners whine about China, about Hamas that want to genocide israelis, they’re just projecting. Australia did that.

The same cynicism that reinforces that mode of propaganda is used at home to justify supporting genocidal candidates.
