I think we should try to be more careful, not to automatically assume that everyone who is asking questions here about China/Ukraine etc. is always arguing in bad faith. I’ve seen multiple people who were genuinely trying to ask something here and the only response they got was mockery.
I do understand that a lot of times people who come here are trying to troll or just be annoying, but we still should try to engage in them in good faith as long as there is no reason not to do so. Not everyone who isn’t from Lemmygrad is someone hostile to our ideology, and we should try to be kinder to them.
correction: ppl from other instances should be less hostile to us.
Should be, sure, but they won’t. We don’t win a people’s revolution by just demanding the people (who have been poisoned against us) accept our ideas without question, even if their questions are just “why come you support Stalin when million billion dead evil tankies? You evil bads!”
(As an aside, I know we won’t actually change anything here on lemmy, but that’s not the goal. The way I see it, it’s more important here online to practice explaining our position to people in a way they can understand so we can be more effective with that in our local communities.)
