I don’t mind the posts and the communities, but so many of the users are insufferable.

They poison the well for any cool person who might be registered there.

    Ehhh, the American administration has singlehandedly wrecked the world for their own gain pretty much since WW2, either directly through the murder of hundreds of thousands or indirectly sponsoring coups and sowing instability overall. I mean, even the invasion of Ukraine happened because of an American coup in Ukraine in 2011 (that, eventually, ended up with the actor in office) and Russia understanding this as the precursor of an American mobilization in Russia. And whilst the Chinese human right abuses are also monstrous and unethical, at least they’re localised? It’s a mishandling of internal affairs, not an external invasion and utter destruction. I’m sorry, but they’re not even comparable. You could say “if China had carte blanche like the US did through military supremacy they would’ve acted the same way” but I doubt it, because I’ve seen and lived around Chinese people and around Americans/Westerners and the cultures couldn’t be more different… Regardless, if we take away the maybes, you have to objectively admit the American admin has been a blight on this world, through leaders on “both sides” of the American political spectrum, moreso than anyone in recent history.

    You can hate all three, or you can hate the American admin and give more leeway to those who haven’t yet shown they’re entirely Godless and immoral, and you can certainly prefer the Chinese and Russian admin for the same reasons, I guess.
