    Yo I once asked you if you were a bot from my sh.itjust.works account and you assumed I was asking that because you post a lot of pro communism stuff but it was actually because you just post a lot. Anyway thanks for being apart of my radicalization, I likely would not have found hexbear and likely wouldn't have questioned my own beliefs if I had not seen your posts so often.

      He's the test of our highly advanced Communism Bot program. Soon we will be staging a massive rollout of Yogbot 2000s worldwide to spread socialist decadence.

      Seriously though, Yog is a legend.

        You say that like you engage with the perspective, but like two dozen people have tried very patiently explaining things to you only to get strung around indefinitely

        Third campist bullshit is based on anticommunist distortions and is fundamentally more in line with the ideology of the State Department. Multipolarity will not be achieved by your book club.

          I don't even know why you're taking whatever it is on me.

          China's "book club" is anticommunist, we've seen enough of polarization.

            If you think China is more anticommunist than NATO, you're smoking crack. If you think even Russia, which is a liberal state that exists to not be the USSR first and foremost, is more anticommunist than NATO, you are smoking crack.

            Who supports Cuba? Who seeks its destruction?

            More importantly, and forgive me for not spelling this out for you before, China has more than a book club! It has a large military and many other practical things going for it that benefit multipolarity. Your book club has none of that, nor prospects at a fraction of it.

            we've seen enough of polarization.

            Classics in anarcho-bidenism. Silly me, I should have just thought of opting out of the world order because NPR tells me that "polarization" is bad and this "multipolarity" stuff sure sounds like it's the same thing.

                My point is that denying China's status as a historically progressive force geopolitically or even vaguely insinuating that it is anticommunist in a way that is comparable to its opposition is hysterical, and if neither of those are what you mean, then what the fuck are you even saying?

                  I'm super clear and straight forward with what I've said, with no need for such comparisons or any insinuating. Btw the word you're looking for is a regressive force (as are the other forces you've brought into comparison)

                            Then why are you so defensive when the subtext of comment is pointed out to you.. it's literally what you wrote

                              I personally don't have any stakes here (and it's worrying people sometimes have strong attachments to governments), just calling out things where I see it

                              It might help if you understand that their writing is not subtext from my comment. It's their own thoughts, maybe trying to (by confusion, or accident, or purpose) attach to me

                                I thought you said you knew what subtext is. Subtext is always interpreted by someone else and not the author (death of the author and such). It seems you're not aware what subtext your comments, meaning you have no clue about a wider context...

                                  Now you're kind of close. It seems that you're kind of aware that they've displayed their own thoughts with the presented subtext, and not mine. Interpretation — as you said.

                                  As a literary device, sure. Anyone has the right to their own interpretation. Of course I can say that in relation to what I say and mean, all interpretations aren't always true.

                                    Ofc Im aware that it's their Interpretation of the subtext of your comments. It seems that you're not aware what subtext your comments give because if you were youd write your comment in a way that it can't be misinterpreted in the first place. Since you didn't, and since you didn't correct the subtext but defensively dismissed it, its safe to dismiss you as a troll.

                                          No, don't you get it? Commenting anything on what they've said is just all in that person's head. It has nothing to do with the words that they're responding to.

                                          How would that make any sense? Like one person saying something and then a person responds based on what they said? Unheard of. No we're all just yelling into the void. Don't read into this. Its not like we're on a public forum where we should expect orher people to have any kind of response to us

                    Nothing you say is ever straightforward. I can never understand you, and when I've asked for clarification you never respond except with more things that don't make sense

                            I see you pop up from time to time. You say stuff that makes no sense, and then argue that the people who don't understand you are wrong.

                            You're the least straightforward person I've seen. What even is your point of view?

                              Nah I don't waste time arguing, check my history yourself. Same goes for the viewpoints and straightforwardness if you want to correct your assumption.

        Ukraine is the one US media has been trying to pin this on.

        I'm gonna have to disagree with that (interpreting US media as Reddit because I don't watch internal US media): Ukraine is the backup compromise for people who don't buy that Russia did it. I think they still want people to think Russia did it. Officially, the USA says there was no risk that the Chinese weather balloon was a spy balloon or anything other than a weather balloon, but they are still pushing the spy balloon angle. I think blaming Ukraine is like when they blamed Donetsk for MH117. The primary story is that it was Russia, 'but alright if you keep insisting on being sceptical we'll admit it was Ukraine, but it was rebels in Ukraine so they really had no say in the matter.' 'Russia did Nordstream, but alright if you keep insisting on being sceptical we'll admit it was us, but it was Ukraine acting on their own, because they're angry, who can blame them. So we really had no say in the matter.'
