im not even a conservative but

Yes we know there is unfairness in the world. But any “ism” won’t fix it.

Least of all quietism like you display

Sorry, I'm sure you'll get your anti-imperialism candidate on the Primary debate stage one day! They still can't win, but they'll be on the stage once. And to make sure that that day comes, it only makes sense to do the bidding of imperialists in the meantime.

"communists are liberals"

Can you even manage in a fever dream to think that this would set a precedent that would result in the US ever getting punished?

"When we shit talk a community, members of the community respond. Must be a brigade."

If your analysis stops at "some people [enough to sway some elections] are just born wrong and are bad people," it isn't a very good analysis.

The problem isn't that people are "psychpaths", it is that they live in an environment where they are told that Hispanic people are a threat, that caravans are "invading" the US to pillage it, and that an invasion like meatball Ron here is proposing would effectively be a counteroffensive.

Remember that a huge part of the lemmy (and derivatives) userbase just came from Reddit, and Redditors are obsessed with China.

Then go make your own private instance where you can federate with whoever you want and keep the mean old tankies out

If they understood it then either they are a conspiracy theorist or they wouldn't call it a "brigade"

I would like to ask you to employ some critical thinking here. Setting aside that the people responding to you have much better English than even a pretty high-level English speaker coming from Mandarin, most of these accounts have months or years of post histories spent almost entirely talking to each other on their previously un-federated instance, including in some cases very harsh arguing, as well as talking about the US on a personal level with intimate detail (and/or whatever other country they say they are from). Do you really believe the most simple answer is that this is all kabuki theater by the CPC to astroturf an obscure collection of websites by wasting a ridiculous amount of resources and the time of highly English-fluent actors? vs just "some people think differently from you"?

If you concede this point, then I would like to ask you to just consider for a moment the implications of the fact that you took the much more absurd and flimsy explanation as though it was just the common-sense explanation. What does that say about the way that you conceptualize the world and what people believe?

When I was back on Reddit comments like those would always be downvoted to hell.

It might be worth keeping in mind that Reddit has, for several years now, biased its moderation policy against the sort of voices who would object to OP, creating a neoliberal echochamber across most of the website.
