    Big fan of the many people that derisively mock the idea of reading an article. “Why would I read your agitprop” yeah because I really wanna make a piecemeal serving of the same tired arguments and do the same trite debunkings that has to be done for every discussion on china with people who refuse to read any literature on the subject, save for memes made by Adrian Zenz well-educated American liberals, before they’re capable of having anything approaching a productive discussion.

    The absolute hubris of those clowns. “Hehehe haven’t you heard about the concentration camps” (600 up votes) “yeah I did, because I live within the same environment of western propaganda as you. I then decided to investigate the reports and found they were all bunk made up by a man who does not speak Chinese, who has claimed he is on a mission from god to crush communism. Would you please read this short paper if we’re going to continue this discussion?” (-300 points, credit score lowered, banned for being a tankie disagreeing with me being a russian bot)

    “Maybe they read more and that’s why they know China is bad” yeah they read a bunch of radio free Asia articles and then screech with reprehension when presented with anyone who dares to do a little source critique.
