Re: China struggle sessions, I've gotten into a few of them here, taking the "Adrian Zenz may be a grifter, China might not be committing a literal genocide, but they're still doing Islamophobic racial profiling on a mass scale, that's grotesque, and it's sad you can't admit it" position. I often end up with a better ratio than my interlocuters. I think the people in the "I will defend China forever, always" camp are very loud but don't have nearly as much support among the userbase as they claim.
While I think this is fair, I think there's a level of critical support required, or even a degree of critical neutrality - at absolute worst someone might argue China is as bad as western imperial countries, but most of us don't live in China but those western countries.
This is a good take. China seems to be handling radical islamism x1000 better and more humanely than places like the U.S, france, etc., but that isnt saying much.
