Ironically that is exactly how those folks read to me. Pseudo intellectuals that grew up in America and have a pretty rosy and tainted view of how living under authoritarian regimes they purport to support is.
Having traveled to communist and socialist countries and met MANY people both living in those countries and some that managed to escape (and many that don’t want to for various reasons), many of the people I have met would call those folks out if given the freedom.
It’s why I only lasted a few days on that platform too. Given these are the devs of the entire kit, yeah….I don’t see how it’s not going to implode.
