      As an actual Chinese person, my disdain for the KMT runs a bit deeper than that.

      Fuck Chiang Kai-Shek from the bottom of my heart. He pleaded for help from the CCP, then betrayed and butchered the communists who were helping him. Just look at the Shanghai massacre. He then purged anyone even vaguely left wing from the Kumingtang.

      I never abandoned my ideals, they were always fuck the ROC to begin with. How do you think he lost the civil war in China? He lost popular support because he was a backstabbing vermin. He should be in a deeper layer of hell than even Reagan and Thatcher.

        god it was so confusing having a prof explain this whole history while adamantly backing the KMT/ROC. I was a lib at the time so I didn’t know how to process it but even then I was like wait he seems like a fucking asshole wtf is wrong with you.

      Nice try, but pointing out liberals being hypocrites has nothing to do with abandoning our own ideals. What’s being said is that you lot claim that’s how things should work and you don’t follow your own rules.

        can you point out where in krause’ comment that’s being said, cause it sure looks like it’s not actually being said

        and can you turn the grad brainrot off for long enough to at least argue with me instead of arguing with whatever stoopid librul views you made up for me

      they’re not abandoning their ideals they’re pointing out that liberals only hold to their own convictions when it’s convenient

      “respect the rule of international law!” “ummmmmmm but not when they agree on things i don’t like”
