    I had a period of time where I just kind of bought the “Teh evil CCP!” line myself, when I was a younger SocDem (I got better). I never had the fervent hate of China that these people do, which probably is why I got out of it, but I had just kind of accepted the whole “Chinese government is bad” line at face value. Yes, I was one of those “Hate the government, not the people” idiots. This was back before China was the crux of half of their fearmongering though and I had just absorbed some of the poison before my critical thinking finally kicked in.

    It was a dark time.
