There are only so many more braindead, agenda-fueled smug remarks I can deal with at this point and I’ve lost all hope of changing most of these people. Just this evening I commented a one sentence defense of China’s foreign policy on reddit only to get every single one of my comments from the past week bombarded by a guy spamming Taiwan emojis and calling me a “CCP slave girl who should go to the Xinjiang rape camps”. It’s tiring

    If your views are never challenged, you’ll never grow as a person.

    On the topic of chinese foreign policy, isn’t that usually «Bully whomever mentions Taiwan until they leave»? Seems to me you only got a taste of the product you’re peddling.

        Taiwan is an independent nation.

        Also this post was on Hot/All today. I didn’t notice it was that old.

    I’ve taken a page from the right and consistently toe the line to see how much I can get away with. Before they know it I’m posting Houthi music and taking selfies in front of my bookcase with Quotations from Mao in full view.

    No, I think the desire is understandable. Just look at how unproductive some of the comments here are to even engage with your question meaningfully. People willfully misconstrue and attack the person instead of the argument.

    I don’t think the problem goes away in an echo chamber, though they may be smaller. The goal posts people erect to show that they belong in the group are also aggravating. Trying to be the best buy bring most extreme, and so on. Groups drift over time.

    All that said, you are not going to change anyone in an online discussion, that’s functionally impossible. Discuss to learn.

    Yes, but you should use bombs or something to express your opinions. The revolution will not happen peacefully.

      Adventurist terrorism is not marxist-leninist.

      Idk why you’re posting weird shit in an ancient thread.
