People who condemn "tankies", don't realize something. We have no personal interest in any other country. We just have an extreme mistrust of western media that causes us to research and dig and dig!
We know just because the every bleating paper in the the west says something, it does not make it automatically true.
Example: Incubators
Saddam Hussein has WMDs
Etc Etc.
Instead of bowing to whatever New York Times says, we research!

First thing, I noticed, ever since China doxxed all the CIA agents, the anti-china rhetoric has been increasing. https://twitter.com/historic_ly/status/1209224565915836416?s=20
We know in the past, the US government has outright lied about conditions of various ethnic minorities in China https://twitter.com/historic_ly/status/1205169521583104002?s=20
We know about the US training Uigher "separatists" in a "hamlet" in Afghanistan shortly before 9/11 https://twitter.com/historic_ly/status/1210996339594715137?s=20
We also took time to map all the original reports.... not the New York Times re-reports... to see where it came from and who funded it. https://thegrayzone.com/2018/08/23/un-did-not-report-china-internment-camps-uighur-muslims/
When you are smug, and you haven't bothered to do the hours of research in the quest for the truth.... it's easy to criticize "tankies"
But, guess what? I challenge to look at more than one badly written newspaper article!
(This is the hegemony Gramsci spoke)

I am using this person as an example because this person repeats the same useless word play with emotionally charged words.
We are responding to a change in the US media ecosystem that is now increasingly flooding lies about China. We feel the need to push back with the truth in response to that eco-system that MSM created.
I call it the "smugness of ignorance"
- Do you look at every article written, and then look up the authors' potential conflict of interests?
- What about the people they choose to use as a source?
- Do you then look up historical records to understand the situation?

These people do none of the above, and think our difficult conclusions from our research is a branding exercise!
It is not! We lose money for coming to these conclusion.
We get banned from newspapers!
We get banned from media appearances. https://twitter.com/historic_ly/status/1242508789783367681?s=20

I wish the truth didn't lead me to my conclusions because literally means, as a journalist, I have trouble making ends meet!
Here is another example of an anti-china article that was filled with holes: https://twitter.com/eshaLegal/status/1208922009280942080?s=20
Smugness of ignorance.
We actually have googled and researched Chomsky and read entire books critiquing Chomsky and that's why we are able to critique Chomsky.

It is always the ignorant who are smug and arrogant. https://twitter.com/historic_ly/status/1251984625242644483?s=19
Something to do with Western people's personal self-worth is oddly tied up to their national propaganda.
I don't understand why or how. But it is interesting https://twitter.com/historic_ly/status/1254484724120199171?s=19
