My fiance is part of the Chinese diaspora so just one example but almost every one of her friends are the same mix of weird contradictions:
support CCP
read Epoch Times and share it and similar stuff on WeChat all the time
liked Trump alright until he bungled COVID
also think COVID was a US bioweapon meant to damage PRC's reputation
100% unquestioning support for Russian invasion of Ukraine
do not care at all that Ukraine has a Nazi problem though, just in favour of war
Buddhists, every single one of them...
Though my anecdotes probably mean nothing and I am doing a, uh, my username... Since all anyone running this site can do is go "the science" despite the gray areas of "the science" being clear as day. For some reason that's worthy of, you know.
Oh, I have. Unfortunately I'm very familiar with it since my background is data science for clinical trials and I currently cut the monthly cheque for like 200.000,USD worth of servers and IP address space on cloud and bare metal providers all over the world so I'm a little confused why they bother banning me. I don't even do captchas, I farm that out to Anti-Captcha.com
Anyway, it's hard to get so good at science so I don't get mad at people for being bad at it. I had to sell my soul to the gods of profit on behalf of every CRO and sponsor I work with to get this good at it. Utter demons like Regeneron, Pfizer, BMS, Roche, Janssen, Genentech, Allergan, AstraZeneca, Novartis... But you'll get really good at science. To the point you understand things you never wanted to, like how virtually every hormone in the human body works and how its receptors can be inhibited or modulated.
But yeah, I'll trust some forum commentators who've probably read an abstract and watched a couple YouTube vids on the subject.
“I do number crunching grunt work for my neoliberal overlords and that’s why I can Make shooting from the hip assumptions about shit I don’t actually know anything about and call it science”
FUCKING HOURS! though this is also the kind of person who will apparently brag about how much money they spend on fucking cloud servers :michael-laugh:
Chinese person living in China being told that the weird cult runs a huge entertainment company in the US.

You called?
Just had to remind people you’re a transphobe. We get it. Now begone
Maybe you should actually read the science on that gray area so you’ll stop saying stupid shit
Out of curiosity, what were they saying? Stuff about vaccines?
Trans Women shouldn’t be allowed to compete with cis women for a bunch of transphobic reasons
Ah.

:so-true: :reddit-logo: energy
Dudes will spend hours of their day crying about being banned for transphobia instead of moving on with their lives

:jesse-wtf:
I'm a master of the science! I have learned a lot of the science and gotten really good at it (the science that is)!
I worked at a lot of these many companies; the specific position they hired me for? Scientist. I worked in the labs and did the science.
