This was fun last time, leggo again

I'll start with: libertarians have solid takes ~40-50% of the time and many of them just need to be pushed a step further in their thinking to turn against capitalist oppression along with state oppression. The libright-to-leftist pipeline is stronger than most seem to think it is.

    True. And the people on this site who are most in favor of authoritarianism aren't even doing it for the right reasons; they're just defending the profits of Foxconn, Tencent, Gazprom, etc. under the guise of "anti-imperialism". It's lib shit... Hollywood taught them every story requires a hero, so the fact that the U.S. is (100% undeniably) evil must mean its enemies are good.

      This doesn't meaningfully engage with the arguments of the pro-China position. Though I do agree that chapos are largely warmer on China than they should be.

        No it doesn't, but it does accurately describe the position of the couple of chapos I've talked China with. I do hope some day to encounter a chapo making a pro-China argument worth meaningfully engaging with!
