How was i trolling, lol?
Instead, it seems you got very defensive for, frankly, a very neutral comment. I didn’t even comment about the content of the articles you posted or shared my opinion. I just said that you had all of them ready, what’s wrong with that?
And why did the mods delete my comment? Was it offensive? Did i use foul language? Lol. I just got here, and there’s barely engagement. Kinda sad since this is one of the biggest “world news” subs on the fediverse.
The other fellow was being a real asshole, so I think perhaps the mod was primed to a very hostile reading (e.g. of our friend yog being a paid shill or something), since I think you were being obnoxious but it’s counter-productive to take mod action against something so trivial when just responding suffices.
If you’re interested in an answer, while I don’t entirely agree with Yog on most issues relating to China, Marxists are obliged to have quite a lot of evidence to back up their claims while liberals can just sort of coast off of cultural norms because their ideology is already hegemonic. I don’t keep a list of links because I don’t take notes for almost anything, but I definitely make sure to remember the titles (etc.) of useful articles so I can retrieve them in a circumstance like this. That’s very inefficient though, so it makes sense that yog would just keep them on-hand for common liberal talking points to prevent needing to look them up over and over.
