I don't know what it is with libs and leftists, but half of us have some incessant need to pretend that the enemy's wife/daughter/son/aunt is "secretly on our side the whole time"

I've never understood this, it's cringe and annoying and the literal definition of the word cope

Melania is trash.

Barron is just a kid, but statistically speaking there's like a 99% chance he also turns out to be trash. You don't have to bash him, but why praise him when he's literally done/said nothing?

Claudia Conway at least spoke out against her mother. Of course she's still just a lib at most, but I can understand a lib stanning her.

Honestly...why shouldn't they?

What's the point in being critical of China when the entire apparatus and society around you is quadrupling down on that effort?

You can be neutral if you want. Just remember that if 95% of the population has an opinion value of -50, and you have a neutral "I'm so enlightened and criticize everything" value of 0, the average isn't 0. Instead it ends up being -49. (and that's generous, since way less than 5% of the population actually has fair views on China)

But what I’d ask is this: Is using intelligence based insults (and other ableist language as you mentioned) productive? Does it allow for uniquely powerful rhetorical uses?

Yes, it releases stress (which allows for clearer thinking) and insults chuds in a language they understand
so fuck off, stupid
