xD. I get the Joke @TheAnonymouseJoker. Hope you wont get to much downovtes by those not understanding the actual joke. xD Because this might not be obvious to others reading here I give a short explanation:

It's a common practice by tankies and of those who come at their defense, to make some claim/question about "shit lib" or CIA, and it doesn't matter if it fits the current argument or not. Usually some conspiracy follow after that.

The joke here is to make a pun out of that behavior, by injecting that "CIA" claim at a moment it just doesn't servers well.

And here's why: Someone tried to gaslight an political opponent by linking to an article that they claim to be about "Even US state department denies the Uyghur genocide". So all I did is to quote some parts of the text, as a means to break the gaslighting spell. And now, the source that was original used to prove that that genocide did not happen, if used by a non-tankie it is CIA propaganda shit libs believe in. And because this art of debate is so absurd, it creates some laughter for some. On the other hand it is also very anoying, because you can't have any serious logical consistent debate with anyone who argues like that.
