This is a place where people are left and progressive but who don’t assume the west is an inherently more trustworthy place and that non-western media sources are worth listening to as though their at least as trustworthy as western media.

It’s always surprising to me when this isn’t the default for leftists and that makes this place a breath of fresh air.

Also the way this place can be extremely inclusive and opposed to intolerance without being a bunch of pious jerks.

Somehow this place is unique even though all those things should be default.
