    First, ethos is bullshit man, don’t idolize people or institutions to the point you think they’re infallible.

    Funny how stuff like this only applies when it’s against the western narrative

    The researchers question the validity of their results because they are abnormally high a

    The western brainpan cannot comprehend a genuinely popular government

      This stuff applies always. It’s called critical thinking skills and it absolutely applies when someone is speaking “for the western narrative” too

      The western brain pan cannot comprehend a genuinely popular government

      Clearly you can’t comprehend elementary statistics like the central limit theorem lol

      And honestly god damn you tankies give communists and socialists such a bad name with all your braindead bullshit. Nothing talks me out of trusting china more than talking with you idiots

      Look I know it’s easy to think that there’s a singular big bad out there. That there’s just this one entity called “the west” and you’ll be able to fight and conquer it. It’s easier to believe things are black and white, that certain countries are innately good and others innately bad at all times. But that’s not reality.

      If you give into those kinds of delusions you’re not really better than the people who blindly believe in Trump or God etc. It’s easy believe that kind of blind faith because it’s less scary than admitting you might be wrong. We are driven to cling to the idea that there are hero’s out there, a righteous nation behind us fighting for good, someone we can always depend on, but if you don’t see reality as it is, you’re setting yourself up for more pain. Those feelings are opium not a cure, and often they hurt you and your causes too

      If you’re delusional people won’t believe what you say even if it’s true. So if you constantly go around attacking people with ad hominem, or claiming literally everything is western propaganda without actually providing evidence, you’re really just hurting the causes you’re trying to support

      Anyway dude, even if you didn’t actually engage my argument you did point me to a fascinating rabbit hole to go down, so thanks for that, but I think I’m going to disengage now

      I hope your days go well, and I wish you peace and happiness mate
