Exactly. Good faith and nuanced conversation can only be had between comrades and sane people.
I have no problem acting like China is utopia (and similar topics) against deranged libs and haters, because their game is pretending like China is total hell. There is no good faith convo to be had with them, give in an inch and you will “lose”. Xi can save 99% of humanity and the moment you admit yes 1% was left out, you just gave control of the narrative to these bad faith actors who will continue to focus on the 1% as they blind everyone from the 99%, fk that.
Plus when the overall atmosphere is so skewed, you are kind of forced to choose between going extreme or be useless and not getting through to bystanders.
