Might it have anything to do with your demeanor, disposition, actions and words?

    Idk, I've been much more civil than you. Probably has to do with the fact my views on china aren't as rosy as the sinophiles here on lemmy. Usually goes something like this "Idk man, there's a lot of merit to the claim that there's aggressive censorship in China. I experienced it firsthand." And the response will be something like "You're a brainwashed western chauvinist."

    But I also get it from the other side. Like when it comes to healthcare in China. People call me a liar when I tell them it was fast, cheap, and good.

    So I guess I'm a liar to both sides of the china brain rot.

    Haha, no.

    The classic western liberal thing of pretending that any other westerner who sides with the empire's enemies must simply be doing it out of some kind of contrarian fetishism or pseudoreligious mania. Whatever the reason you decide, it can't possibly be that the communist is in his right mind, because that's a terrifying prospect you have no answer for.
