From the top of my head Check the deprogram subreddit
https://www.reddit.com/r/TheDeprogram/comments/ydw9zi/doing_a_research_project_on_the_uyghurs_in_china/ Lots of links + sources etc. There is probably a ton more by now online since this thread is 2 years old.

Damn this goes hard. Nice work
I thought we had an effort thread/post on this topic. If someone could link it, that would be great. So, I guess it depends on the person you’re talking to. If they’re just an average liberal and not someone you care about, I honestly wouldn’t even bother. But if they’re someone cool and you care about them, I’d probably slowly work my way toward this topic. There are lighter topics you can use to gradually deprogram liberals.
I think there’s something about the mythos of America that I find interesting. Even the idea of things like liberty, freedom, and democracy is fascinating to me. Of course, all these concepts are as real in the USA as Thor’s Hammer, but that’s exactly how I view them—as mythological ideas. I view these things as almost a religious facet of the USA.
I’m virulently opposed to the American Empire, but I do greatly appreciate some of their cultural output. Like I dont mind admitting some of the stuff the Yankees make is either fun, entertaining or “sometimes” even good.
Doesnt change that we have to demilitarize and balkanize the USA sooner or later.
