RhoeriAnd then there's this idiot:
What the heck is an anti-kitten burning coalition?
It’s a reference that I imagine political people under 35 won’t catch without doing a search online.
A reference:
The Anti-Kitten-Burning Coalition (again)
Opposition to the burning of kittens is not what sets the members of the AKBC apart from everyone else. What sets them apart is their strange belief that they are a special, beleaguered minority. What sets them apart is their refusal and/or inability to recognize that opposition to the burning of kittens is a unanimous, universally shared opinion. Apart from the AKBC, most people don't feel a need to imagine or to pretend that there exists somewhere a vast Pro-Kitten-Burning Coalition that they must denounce as a demonstration of their moral superiority.
That link isn't working for me.
Hm. To provide context then: It is an argument device used by Fred Clark, who goes by Slacktivist, in his writing. His posts are hosted on the Patheos site as he is a religious albeit leftist writer. The link I provided is just one article where he uses it.
That should hopefully help you navigate towards it, if you’re so inclined.
AllNewTypeFaceIf you read your theory, you would be aware that kittens are sustainable fuel and burning them is based.

Rooting for and defending dictators also are an endorphin hit.
Source: Talked to ex-tankies, know some current dictator fans (usually right-leaning).
Have they tried rooting for their local sports team who hasn’t won a game in years? Its basically the same thing.
wizardbeardMan, the sheer logic leap about feel good endorphins being equivalent to a drug hit. So are you doing drugs when you post things in support of China? Or anything else you feel you have the moral highground on?
Complete nonsense. Once again they exempt themselves from their own “logic”.
I love how in your last post here you claimed people were insulting you and being childish then you post this shit lmao. Davel and others on .ml have posted other things on the subject you just cherry-picked this to get internet points. Deeply unserious.
The Tian’anmen Square “massacre” narrative is a collection of lies and propaganda used by the CIA to get (mostly) westoids to hate the PRC. Anyone who continues to believe it does the state department’s work for free. Here’s another overview on the events that will help with deprogramming.
What a deeply unserious person you are. Do you even read theory? Obvious troll.
Username checks out
IIRC the western view is inaccurate, in that we typically figure “authorities mercilessly crushed dissent” and the reality is more like “local authorities were swayed by the dissent and nearly turned against the government, so the government sent the goddamn army to crush those authorities too.”
But the one-party state declares itself the only representation of the people’s will, so obviously any popular defiance is a contradiction.
“Brainwashing”
SanctusWatching all of you argue ad nasuem about what state is the goodest boi is infuriating. On a macro level its just tribalism again.
I see you are employing the UniversalMonk strategy instead of engaging. It’d be nice to talk about why people feel the need to defend ravenous states but okay.
It’s not employing anything let alone implying anything that douchebag says or does-
But when someone pops in with their two cents being- “you’re both being dumb”- it’s a safe bet that you won’t be met with an invitation to discuss your profundity more deeply.
I mean you gotta realize at one point it is just tribalism, right? How many China Bad, US bad arguments can we have before we get some nuance?
Y’know you’re kinda not wrong, but the thing you (and every tankie, but of course with them it’s by design) seem to miss is that “China bad” doesn’t mean “US good.” “US better” doesn’t even mean “US good.”
