Aren't there sources other than Adrian Zenz to use in this sort of centrist-socialist article? ('Xinjiang oppression is real but stop doing imperialism over it')

I have seen that whole talk like three times. Laurence Wilkerson is awesome and is probably worth trusting more than any reporter on this stuff. Turns out that there is a whole set of Libertarians who do better anti-imperialist discussions than anyone on the left. The grayzone interviews them pretty regularly. The recent Push Back interview with Scott Horton was good.
Wilkerson used to appear regularly on TheRealNewsNetwork with Paul Jay, he's informative in understanding how the State Department/MIC manufactures consent in Imperialist adventures. He was one of Colin Powel's top guys in leading the US invasion of Iraq which he now regrets. He's not a leftist, he even jokingly called Paul Jay a Marxist.
I'm aware of that, I shouldn't have said "he's awesome" but it is awesome to have someone with his access to information become an anti-war advocate. A lot of information about US foreign policy seems to come from ex-military people questioning their values.
:what-the-hell:
is it me or the content
it's the simping for libertarians, for me. i'm sorry i've just seen murray bookchin dismissed by MLs because he palled around with right libertarians, so it reads as corny
"this libertarian war nerd knows about US strategy and leftists have an interest in this" != "libertarians are good"
sure i'm corny af
