Lately? That subculture where they believe everyone but the West are the good guys and working together has always been here. The devs are involved.
Liberals projecting their supremacist and childlike Good Guy/Bad Guy worldview onto communists is like a deep sea tube worm trying to explain flight to a bird.
That a neutral description of what you believe elicits a mass, troll-brigade type response is interesting just from a psychology perspective. Why you mad?
Don't pretend you're such a galaxy brain that 99.99% of people can't even fathom your deep insight. It really is that simple, you're not about to accuse China of being evil or say America is good.
geez bud you trying to be nice sure looks a lot like you trying to be a snide piece of shit
Lol you think advancing beyond a Marvel movie-based worldview for children is "galaxy brain" shit
Remind me what percentage of the population your subculture makes up, again?
1.5 billion people, roughly one fifth of all currently living human beings
Suuure bud, Hexbear is nearly all-English for no reason. And my family over there actually agrees with you about everything, and isn't just trying to make bread (well, sticky rice) like the rest of us.
I'm pretty comfortable with moral grayness, at least. Canada has treated it's natives very badly. Would you care to share some about China?
Yes, that's a trap. Because you and the moderators of this instance do think they're just the good guys. Which is an opinion you can have, I don't know why you're suddenly bashful about it.
Literal medieval peasant brain, believes in good and evil and assumes anyone who doesnt must just be lying about it. Like how a thief thinks everyone is out to steal from them. Sad.
You've spent this interaction running though every cope and deflection in the book, because on some level you recognize that you're so far out of your depth you're at risk of barotrauma.
Having this pointed out will not deter you, because your ego is too fragile to let you walk away.
I am pretty curious why a moral nihilist would bother with taking a contrarian side to geopolitics like this. Why not just parrot the local boo-rah jerk and profit, or avoid politics altogether for minimum stress?
But, you want to stop. Interestingly, you've tried to couch that in a reverse-psychology way that makes me do it for you, which is weirdly bashful again.
Fighting about if I want to fight would be a waste of my time, and I don't have any problem doing this for you. Disengage.
Go back to fucking reddit, my god.
Isn't that what happened?
I don't believe for a second OP actually cared about my emotional motives for continuing or not. It was a probably a strategy, honestly, although I tried to be nice and assume wasting my time wasn't the main plan.
I fucking weep for anyone in a relationship with you
There's no lately....the communities of people who actually oppose Western imperialism have been building Lemmy for 6 years, 3 years before the API protests
Love you too.
