I find it odd to call remarks "outrageous". This sounds like a testable hypothesis. Why, post-Enlightenment, would anyone ever choose to take the Dark Age path of being outraged when they can instead gather data and test a hypothesis? Sad. https://twitter.com/georgeeaton/status/1115926643799932929 …

2/ I find it interesting how you capitalized the 'e' in the word 'each', giving the impression that it was the beginning of the sentence...when, in fact, you've removed the first 2/3 of the sentence where he talks about ideological indoctrination. https://twitter.com/georgeeaton/status/1115926971819732992 …

3/ And then, of course, after
@georgeeaton selectively edits the quote to remove part about ideological indoctrination,@jkbloodtreasure pushes the meaning further, to imply that it's about looks. Then@amendlocke and others RT it, thinking it's real.https://twitter.com/jkbloodtreasure/status/1115946353966878721 …ⓘ Dogs don't have thumbs added,

4/ So in three steps we've gone from a legitimate critique of the Chinese totalitarian state ("it shapes the thinking of its citizens"), to getting the quote EXACTLY backwards ("right wingers are racist"). Isn't it ANTI racist to want Chinese citizens to have freedom?

5/ “They’re creating robots out of their own people… each Chinese person is a kind of replica of the next one and that is a very frightening thing.” How many of the leftists who RTed the "OMG, a right is upset at the Chinese because he thinks they all look the same" disagree?

Michael Brendan DoughertyVerified account @michaelbdLook at this disgrace. Couldn't fit the five words that indicate he's talking about a program of conformism imposed by the authoritarian government, so just had to leave open the implication that it was a comment about the character of Chinese people. pic.twitter.com/im34ov6IqnShow this thread0 replies 2 retweets 6 likesShow this thread
