Thinking about all those liberal Chinese students in my Chinese literature classes ranting about the oppressiveness of the CCP or even the few straight up claiming to be right wing who despised "liberals", or my Chinese teachers that would suggest right wing reading material or the one that balked at me for suggesting China did the right thing wrt to covid measures, the same one that said their favorite historical figure was Winston Churchill and again balked when I said mine was Ho Chi Minh, or that Chinese writer for the school newspaper that voiced full-throated support for ridding the school of our Confucious institute because it was insidious CCP propaganda (they gave beginner chinese lessons to the public for $20 and threw a new years celebration party every year ๐).
Yeah I know it's not Chinese people's fault, not suggesting that, just felt annoyed how these people were advocating against their own interests and encouraging a future like this cause they thought they had a good shot at joining club honky.
They would also put up signs like this ... (cw: sv mention)
I'm a vegan and will be until I die or I can't do it anymore for whatever reason, but it's the other way around for me. I don't trust other vegans until they say they're leftist/communist cause they're more likely way too into woo shit, bougie liberals that like the marketing term or health benefits, or right wingers/libertarians that stumbled into a good point/like the health benefits.
I also don't think it takes being a communist necessarily to see suffering in animals and want to stop it in whatever way one can. It's just if either non-vegan communists or non-leftist vegans honestly and critically looked at their beliefs, it would be hard to escape the correct conclusion.
