    It's almost like China is a massive place with lots of moving parts and social groups and binary distinctions about it are over simplifications huh.

      I saw a tik tok from a soc dem that made be want to stab my eyes with a fork

      Caption was "I'm tired of leftists pretending like China is good"

      And then he mocks two types of people (China good person and China bad person) before ultimately concluding that china is complicated and neither good nor bad

      The answer is centrism! Yay!

        Oof! Recognizing that something is more complicated than a simple binary but then immediately jumping to a third option equidistant between the two is peak galaxy brain. Like shit is a complicated evolving and interlocking process, that doesn't mean 50/50 is good! A 50 50 position between piss and cheery-o's just gets piss in your cheery-o's.
