        The government that actively tries to censor elements of news from their citizens. Yeah buddy, sure thing.

          I said

          “Living in the US is sufficient cause to distrust its government.”

          You replied:

          “I can say the same for China”

          I replied:

          “Except you literally can’t.” Meaning you don’t live in China so you can’t make the claim with similar level of authority

          And then you made the comment I replied to, and I don’t see at all how it is connected to the line of conversation.

            I guess I can’t because i don’t live in China, but you understand the point of my argument yet choose to play semantics. It’s fine

                Saying that the Chinese government censors news from their citizens and attempts to spread propaganda about themselves to the outside world doesn’t make sense to you?

                  The point is you’re making an unsourced claim which doesn’t align with the topic of conversation.

                    Sucking up to the Chinese like a true tankie. Intellectualism is being able to admit that both the Chinese and US governments are bad actors
