They've been shielded from even critical support of China and other AES for so long they literally, not figuratively, literally cannot process that people exist that have beliefs that aren't Reddit Approved.

Yeah same I was pretty thrilled to find out we had blahaj folks around
Update, was a mistake, they defederated from lemmygrad again lol
Maybe worth pointing out to your admins that anti-communism is always a wedge used by fash to turn a place rightwing.
