Mostly because of all the fucking Tankies and both-sides-bad centrists they promote and enable.

Corporate mostly doesn't give a fuck (well lately they do but I never had Elon Musk or Zuckerberg break into every other comment section and start flaming nonprofit childrens hospitals and puppies), but the CCP troll farms and bot networks have an agenda.

I feel like the tankie "both sides" is notably a different claim than a centrist "both sides" but I suppose you're right that one can give cover to the other.

Tankies shit on people whilst simultaneously calling it deprogramming which is hilarious because you're doing the opposite, you're making people less likely to be sympathetic by being hostile

I sometimes wonder if it's somehow a convoluted western reverse-psyop to turn people against radical ideologies by introducing them to bad actors and pissing them off.

Then I remember how extremely effective their propaganda has been for them so far and dismiss that thought.
