It works pretty okay at very stuffy formal stuff but it's pretty bad at informal speech, in my experience

To be fair, it's much better for modern Chinese (most of the time) but this being so old and poetic yeah it just has no idea what to do with it lol

Worth noting that the majority opinion (specifically John Roberts' concurrance) that overturned Roe V Wade literally used this same logic:

In short, the viability rule was created outside the ordinary course of litigation, is and always has been completely unreasoned, and fails to take account of state interests since recognized as legitimate. It is indeed “telling that other countries almost uniformly eschew” a viability line. Ante, at 53 (opinion of the Court). Only a handful of countries, among them China and North Korea, permit elective abortions after twenty weeks; the rest have coalesced around a 12–week line.

(emphasis mine)

assuming this is good faith.

what color would you say this is:

according to this random web app it is:

"Dark Yellow"

aka not Green and not Red.

and it's the predominant color in the middle section of OP's gradient

Google translate has a different take:

Road to Road, very Avenue. Famous, very famous

...socialist revolution is neither easy (as the Trotskyists and ultraleftists would have it) nor impossible (as the liberals and conservatives would have it), but hard. It will require dedication and sacrifice and it won’t be won in a day. Tankies are those people who think the millions of communists who fought and died for socialism in the twentieth century weren’t evil, dupes, or wasting their time, but people to whom we owe a great deal and who can still teach us a lot.

Or, to put it another way: socialism has powerful enemies. Those enemies don’t care how you feel about Marx or Makhno or Deleuze or communism in the abstract, they care about your feelings towards FARC, the Naxals, Cuba, North Korea, etc. They care about your position with respect to states and contenders-for-statehood, and how likely you are to try and emulate them. They are not worried about the molecular and the rhizomatic because they know that those things can be brought back into line by the application of force. It’s their monopoly on force that they are primarily concerned to protect. When you desert real socialism in favor of ideal socialism, the kind that never took up arms against anybody, you’re doing them a favor.

There are a lot of gems

It's nuts how far technology has taken us.

Usually, people only see this twice in their lives: At the moment of birth, and at the moment of death. Now we can see it however many times we want. Profound.
