missing the "I don't hate the people just the government and everyone who supports it which is 95.5% of chinese people"

It's so absurd. Like, it's a term that came from these same types mocking supporters of the Soviet intervention in Hungary in 1956. You know, a """popular""" uprising where fascists and capitalists supported by the US took legitimate unrest and tried to use it to spark a color revolution. With Hong Kong and Uyghur genocide, as bullshit and thoroughly debunked as they are even now, at least there's some element of doubt in that they're very recent and ongoing? But just look at Hungary now and tell me that shit in 1956 wasn't completely justified.

And yet they still use that word in the exact same way. Fuckin idealism.
