This would be your straw leftist, I assume? 'Cause I've never seen a single leftist anywhere who says that.

WTF is "ammenmend" supposed to communicate? I have genuinely no idea what you're on about.

“No, you’re wrong, and should suffer for it”.

How very Abrahamic of you. Indeed if you didn't continually and loudly bleat your politics from talk like this I'd assume you were a fundamentalist Christian.

"Liberal" means "the left" almost exclusively in North America (specifically the USA and Canada). In most of the world the term "liberal" means what Americans call "libertarians" (read: capitalist assholes).

To amplify from the other side of the world:

善為士者，不武；善戰者，不怒；善勝敵者，不與；善用人者，為之下。是謂不爭之德，是謂用人之力，是謂配天古之極。 —老子

A good scholar is not a warrior; A good fighter is not angry; Those who are good at defeating enemies will not compete with them; Those who make good use of people are inferior. It is called the virtue of not competing, the power of using people, and the extreme of matching heaven and ancient times. —Laozi

I find it equal parts of entertaining and disturbing that you're trying to drum up hatred just so you can feel less lonely. Here's a genuine question, but don't answer it. Well, don't answer it to me (or anybody else here). Answer it for yourself.

Why are you so fucking dead set on hatred?

The answer to that question is for you and your therapist to work out. (If you don't have a therapist FUCKING GET ONE STAT!)

Yes. An advocate and ally of LGBTQ+ groups is definitely onside with Xi.

You fucking idiot.

Say "I've never read history" without, you know, saying it.

Liberals decisions are based on marginal benefit and rational decision making based on a combination of large and small scale unbiased data and historical outcomes.

[citation needed]

Liberals have their own idiotic biases and foolishness. Biases and foolishness that have led to the "disappearing" of many LGBTQ+ activists in China, incidentally, which is why so many such groups in China are distancing themselves from their western counterparts.

Does anybody actually think he's going to see the inside of a cell?

Nobody cares "how it works" and "what really goes on". They care about the outcomes.

And the outcomes are a festering pile of half-truths sculpted to meet a pre-defined narrative.

If I open up any news site anywhere in the world and read what it has to say on subjects I know something about, it takes little to no time to start racking up a large count of egregious errors of fact. And note here: errors of fact, not simplifications, etc. Outright incorrect information.

So when I extrapolate my findings in my own areas of expertise into the areas I lack expertise in, I have zero confidence that what I'm being told is correct or truthful.

So it doesn't matter how things work. It doesn't matter what really goes on. Whatever goes on and however it works, the output is factually incorrect and narrative-furthering. Apparently being "one of the most self-critical professions there is" isn't helping.

Time to change how things work and what goes on, no?
