“Sure, pretend the hive mind defensiveness is not all over Weibo or WeChat. Pretend people on the streets aren't fussing about the latest "insult to China" they heard from state media. Pretend they're all well-intentioned and just scared to speak out. What a load of crap. ”
Yes. You claim to not be attacking the people of China for being complicit in the crimes of the CCP, yet you assert in your previous comment that they are celebrating in the streets and posting supportive comments on Weibo due to a “hive mind mentality.”
Ah, now we’re getting insulting. Love when people resort to that because they can’t reasonably respond.
No. You are pushing that Chinese citizens willingly post and display support for their totalitarian government due to a “hive mind mentality.” You assert that no one who is Chinese can be an ally because of that “hive mind” mentality. Note: this is the thinking that started the internment of innocent Japanese Americans during WWII.
You then claim you made no such assertion and that the average Chinese citizen isn’t complicit.
Which is it? They’re all too brainwashed and focused on the group to be trusted? Or they’re individuals who aren’t complicit and instead subjected to the tyranny we are trying to fight here?

You cannot have it both ways.
What in the world does the hive mind have to do with being complicit in crimes? Did your brain break?
