They believe we’re evil authoritarians, and they are taught to hate authority (unless it aligns with their wants), and so they will harass and argue with us in bad faith until they are inevitably banned, all so they can say “See?

It helps them deal with the dissonance of believing they’re free and righteous while supporting the most warmongering regime in human history.
