    How would I have such comparisons? (It’s a rhetorical question btw)

    There’s no reality with such cryptic assumptions and accusations anyway. You don’t have to play with these strawmen. Nobody should be forcing you to do such things

      My point is that denying China’s status as a historically progressive force geopolitically or even vaguely insinuating that it is anticommunist in a way that is comparable to its opposition is hysterical, and if neither of those are what you mean, then what the fuck are you even saying?

        I’m super clear and straight forward with what I’ve said, with no need for such comparisons or any insinuating. Btw the word you’re looking for is a regressive force (as are the other forces you’ve brought into comparison)

          “I am very clear. Here, let me falsely correct you about word usage, elliding the difference in position, to really demonstrate how clear and straighforward I am.”

          Thank God we have you to remind us that bilateral development is regressive next to imperialism.

            Sheesh, and you claim me of false use of words with these. What’s with the selective imperialism fandom

                    What are you reading as defensive?

                    I personally don’t have any stakes here (and it’s worrying people sometimes have strong attachments to governments), just calling out things where I see it

                    It might help if you understand that their writing is not subtext from my comment. It’s their own thoughts, maybe trying to (by confusion, or accident, or purpose) attach to me

            Who is this? My comments were to someone else. What do you want help with?

                  I see you pop up from time to time. You say stuff that makes no sense, and then argue that the people who don’t understand you are wrong.

                  You’re the least straightforward person I’ve seen. What even is your point of view?

                    Nah I don’t waste time arguing, check my history yourself. Same goes for the viewpoints and straightforwardness if you want to correct your assumption.

                    I’m very understanding of those with mixed or confused views and will help if needed
