Does anyone have a method of deprogramming liberals who believe in the Uyghur genocide? I have a new friend who is good on Palestine but awful on Xinjiang. Very AP-brained and trusting of western propaganda. He's well-read and is open to having his ideas challenged, so looking for something well-sourced or he'd probably disregard it. I found a debunking video that came out right after the original Zenz "report" that references a 51-page leaked document released by Zenz. It goes through 6 points and shows how Zenz's own documents contradicts his claims of human rights abuses. The issue is that it's from a small creator and I can't find the referenced document, so I can't point him directly to the facts and bypass the youtube video, which would likely be seen as insufficient.

This is part 1 of the debunk:

The whole challenge of this issue is how often people expect you to prove a negative, which rigs the debate instantly. If you prove something isn't there by looking there then it might just be somewhere else, this is why the burden of proof lies on the accuser. If he can understand why it's his job to find the real proof and your job to weight the credibility of said proof then you can start having a productive conversation
