I don't think you deserve to be so heavily downvoted, but also Christ it's nice to have a refuge where I don't have to constantly hate humanity. Particularly when so often it's simply not possible to have a genuine conversation because folks are spitting out talking points and ignoring facts. Which the left does as well but at least they don't make me want to go on a murderous rampage. Usually.
Yeah i get what u mean about the extremists. But honestly the tankie extremists are just as bad. Their denial of genocide by the ccp is particularly bad. Ive been told that people are willingly choosing to go to ccp reeducation centers.
That last bit feels very unlikely or a total distortion. Not because I'm looking to argue, but I also happen to be human (meaning I think this applies universally to all humans regardless of any particular philosophy) and that sounds incredibly tedious and I can't believe that's the sort of thing any other human would spend their valuable time doing. I'd rather fold my laundry, and I fucking hate folding laundry.
