Its like Hillary walking into a working class kitchen for the first time.
They’ve been shielded from even critical support of China and other AES for so long they literally, not figuratively, literally cannot process that people exist that have beliefs that aren’t Reddit Approved. They immediately assume it’s bots or wumao. Human beings can’t possibly hold these beliefs, so they must be Oriental hordes or actual robots.
I have like 200 comments from you crazy tankies in my inbox, do you think I have the time to write paragraphs to everyone?
I see you’ve had a run-in with our “Post”-based posting rules here. I could help explain them for you if you’d like?
TBF if I had 200+ replies in my inbox over the span of a few hours I’d consider it coordinated harrassment.
This thread just blew up tbh, unlike anything I’ve seen here. Mostly, our news bulletin megathread sometimes breaks 1000 comments, when there’s big news happening. Most other threads never hit 500. This one seems like it was bait to draw in lib commenters from the wider lemmyverse after federation and it worked. The user in question came in pretty antagonistically and is replying to all the replies they got, so yeah it’s probably a lot of replies to deal with but they also brought it on themself and it wasn’t anything coordinated. I myself have been engaging with this person, but just the same way I would have argued with anybody else here that I disagreed with over the last 3ish years.
Then you probably shouldn’t post a few dozen comments in this thread here on our home instance. Avoiding doing that should keep your inbox clean.
Hi there. Check my comment history. It’s no use arguing with these people who think they’re experts on China. Don’t waste so much time like I did.
Thank goodness you are, so you can tell us all about China from your position of expertise! Go on, give us your best materialist analysis of the current conditions of China, with reference to the surrounding literature and studies by Chinese economists! I need the enlightened take of a western China Understander!
You are absolutely correct! There is no use arguing with these dopey politically uneducated liberals who think that viewing MSNBC+breadtube a few times makes them experts on a particular subject.
