It’s hard to take any apologists for the CCP seriously even if they make a good point.

That user is being hypocritical by using Twitter while bashing censorship, but it would be the cultural equivalent to praising Biden or Trump for never drinking and somebody comes along and praises Hitler for also not drinking. You should not praise Hitler even if it is true.

Are they CCP apologists? I have no idea who any of these people are.

Without any context, I read it as:

Haha Chinese censorship

You’re on a censored platform too.

In this precise example they are apologists because they’re deflecting criticism and bringing up other wrongdoings done by other people in a different part of the world under different means and for different goals.

OK, I dont read it that way so much as “Yeah all these platforms suck”, but they are still using them so sure.
