They’re from Portland, Oregon you can’t make this shit up lol.
The Chinese text in the title translates as “brainwashed.” Top kek.
Feel bad for the guy finding out his wife is a deranged conspiracy theorist
My friend was telling me about how the lady his best friend married was walking by the TV when some show was talking about the stars and she said “fake news!” My friend chuckled at first thinking it was some dumb joke but apparently after his best friend married her she became a flat-Earther who does not believe the stars are real, or at least they’re not actually stars. I think about that a lot, and am terrified that anyone I associate with can suddenly become deranged in that way at any random point.
My friend’s ex-wife went down the Youtube conspiracy rabbit hole and is now a Holocaust denier, thinks there are child slave colonies on Mars and stares into the sun because there’s a conspiracy telling us not to do that and she’s going to get to the bottom of it and unlock her super chakra. I think some people are just so thoroughly lacking in critical thinking skills that you can convince them of just about anything if you explain it in an authoritative manner.
I had friends try to come at me with con trails, fake moonlanding, bs. I just unloaded about all the real shit going on, why the fuck do you care about this bs, are you that cozy? Last week they mentioned they are basically communist.
I dunno. I think life would be more fun if I thought I was one really good meditation session away from getting superpowers
My ex wife went from being a radlib, to working for conspiracy theorist Jason Bermis.
My ex-sister-in-law went from radlib to posting everyday about child trafficking from Wayfair
First reaction was that she didn’t believe famous people are real, which is a much more fun thing to believe
Comes with the risk of marrying a white American, vast majority of them are politically deranged and disconnected from reality
In my experience it’s not exactly political derangement, but rather the arrogance of thinking they have the freest media and know better than anyone else.
This is the truth. Americans used to say shit like “I get my news from fox and CNN so therefore I am objective.”

Edit: I just want to add that I don’t think this is an issue that needs to ruin a marriage. In the US, there are plenty of couples who have healthy marriages but one is a republican and the other is democrat with very different outlooks on things. They make it work by given each other freedom it express their beliefs outside of their home while focusing on the things they have in common at home.
That’s how you know these liberals are unserious bozos. If China was actually committing a genocide and your husband was denying it, that should be a dealbreaker. That would make him a fascist and worse. But, y’know, they don’t really care about that, it’s just about performing unquestioning loyalty to the empire.
spoiler alert:
there is no scholarly work about the subject because there is no subject
… his intransigence related to the real facts of Xinjiang may eventually lead to our divorce.
Imagine getting a divorce over propaganda
It’s not about intransigence or propaganda, it’s about control. She wants her husband to believe her just because she’s saying it and is thinking about leaving him if he doesn’t
Real abuser shit.
How is that abuse lol. That’s just incompatibility. If she’s beating him or coercing him like holding his visa unless he converts to being a patriot, that’s abuse. But if you tell someone “I can’t be with you if you don’t agree on these fundamental truths” (whether it’s wrong or not), that’s just basic relationship management.
it’s abuse because there are clear racial undertones to her treatment of her husband. calling your husband brainwashed bc he doesn’t agree with what you think about the country he’s actually from is really weird. like who is this lady? she’s demanding “academic sources” that aren’t from China but i doubt she’s sourcing her claims from anywhere that fits those standards.
The idea is that her belief in the fake genocide isn’t sincere, but it’s more like a “test”, if you love me you will agree with whatever I say or believe. That’s emotional abuse.
The Cardassians weren’t torturing Picard when they tried to get him to say that there were three lights instead of four, they were just doing basic relationship management.
Joking aside, I think it’s really fucking important whether or not the “fundamental truths” are true or not. “I’m divorcing you if you keep saying the Earth is round” and “I’m divorcing you if you keep saying that the Earth is flat” are not equivalent statements.
Plus, the Redditor is approaching this from the angle that her husband is brainwashed and never stops to consider that they might be wrong about something, especially a topic where their husband might have greater familiarity. They’re being unreasonable and threatening divorce unless husband acquiesces. In my book that’s emotional abuse.
The thing that kills me with these Uygher genocide fabricators is 9-outta-10 how Islamophobic they are in any other context
These are motherfuckers who will sit there praising the war on terror which HAS KILLED millions of Muslims while they shed crocodile tears for imaginary massacres
They’re cynical scum all of them
It’s like how republicans are suddenly supper concerned about lgbtq rights if it means they get to be Islamophobic or how they were suddenly all really concerned about the integrity of women’s sports records when it meant they had plausible deniability to be openly transphobic.
I either don’t get out much or live in a nicer part of that world because I haven’t heard one person I interact with offer any type of praise for the war on terror ever. Most of us just keep our heads down and shuffle our feet through the struggle of artificial scarcity imposed on us by our overlords.
