Look i cringe and ROFL as much as the next guy when some dumbass tankie comes defending tyranical goverments and calling one racist just for critcising the ccp, but this meme is idiotic, since its deffinetly made targeting those dumbasses and made with the intend to roundup both us vs them just to generate fighting, and is kinda indulging in what it bashes, not that theres anything possitive to take away from tankies and its not like we are gonna change their mind if we repeatedly scream to them tianamen square massacre, but rounding up people just to shittalk those idiots is very suspisous and i cant stop but feeling that whe are being manipulated.

This may seem a tangent, but bear with me. You make an interesting point. Your view should be considered.

You look deeper into the mentality us vs them behind this meme. You identify that as a possible strategy to keep people apart. That is something worthwhile considering.

Now, problem is your post is hard to parse. You have what amounts to a whole paragraph with only one period. My suggestion: break information into small chunks. That greatly helps your readers. It allows them to become more engaged with your content.

Now, leaving that aside. Thanks for trying to reason through this shallow us-them mentality.

What a lovely comment. Thank you for thoughtfully and politely making the internet a better place.

Thanks 4 that m8, problem is i needed to constantly bash tankies in order to not appear as one of "them" to the "us" so that one of us starts atacking me because they labeled me as a them. Besides, english is not my first language so it may be hard to follow sometimes.

Don't worry about English. Text is text. My mother tongue is Portuguese. Precisely because the internet is full of people like us, i. e., that are not totally comfortable with English, we should make our texts easier to parse.

Your mind is in the right place. That's the hardest part. Adjusting your writing style is much easier. So be confident.

Yeah but the paragrapg thing is easier than expected I started doing it also.

English is also not my first language
