usually Quora is garbage but damn this is pretty good. Wish they went a bit more in-depth but I like this, it’s a change of pace from most garbage answers (and questions) from Quora lol
To all libs in this comment section
Zhihu (Chinese version of Quora, users are well educated)
Well educated users? No way this is like Quora, Quora is just rebranded Yahoo answers.

It’s people who think they are smarter than everyone else answering questions after 2 minutes of skimming a wikipedia article. You get that elsewhere, but only Quora has those people as their core userbase.
It’s amazing to check Quora if you have a spare hazmat suit lying around
Post them a link to here and tell them that we’re interested in knowing more. They won’t face the usual racist, liberal brain rot. We’re genuinely interested and any crackers who make our guest feel unwelcome will be asked politely to f-off.
That mention about Zhihu is interesting, since nowadays they tend to be mostly liberals who will label others “pinko” if any user praises the PRC lol.
They’re commonly referred to as “public intellectuals” and they share the exact same pro-western smug moral superiority complex that other liberals around the world share.
Perhaps OOP was well aware of that nuance, that the website has a heavy liberal inclination; but not feeling particularly discussive, didn’t choose to mention that. After all, any talk of the educated in the AES leaning towards liberalism and the west only encourages westerners to be more anti-AES.
I’m sure some people see this as “evidence” that the Chinese are inhuman slaves for thinking their great oppresor was actually a decent leader.
Dammit, Lemmy. Blatant propaganda already? Fucking disappointing. 🤢
Everything in the west is propaganda, to such a high degree that people don’t even see it as propaganda anymore.
What do you mean? The news delivers my daily freeze peach injection and is nice enough to inform me about which country I need to hate this week (which is good, because I’ve never heard of many of them). It’s not like an evil authoritarian hellhole where people are told what to think!

Show me where the propaganda is.
Every side has propaganda. This is good propaganda.
It’s lemmygrad. That whole instance is like that. The other Lemmy instances are not.
The other Lemmy instances are worse, Lemmygrad is the only semi-intelligent bunch.
This is known, but thank you. I’m looking into how to block that cesspool entirely. Useless trolls.
So what happens if they dont?
