matt in his youtube rants suggests depending on the words good or bad will stymy progress and dialogue. we mostly do it to satisfy our itch that we have the right take. maybe instead ask Is Laos socialist? or Anyone know much about the recent history of Laos?
by asking questions more specific than good or bad we can resolve contradictions and advance the dialect in a way good vs bad moralizing doesn’t.
This is absolutely true, but as a counterpoint, sometimes when you know nothing it's easier to kick off a struggle session and dig through the rubble to get an initial perspective. There's that old saying about how the easiest way to get accurate information about something online isn't to ask someone (cause you'll get ignored/made fun of), but to say something you know is wrong and watch everyone dogpile and tell you how and why you're wrong.
I guess what I'm saying is that OP should have been even more inflammatory lol
