Absolutely. But I don’t want to influence anything, just make the OP slightly happier and hopefully have a good read myself.

I tend to upvote everything, no matter how much I disagree. I don’t trust my own opinions or the authors’, all of them are flawed in some way.
Yes, that’s it.
That view being wrong, yes.
Could have been it before that comment, but you insisted. We have had a fruitful exchange, I learned something, don’t spoil it with meaningless pride. Hope you make lots of new friends here!
I’m a Marxist-Leninist, member of an organized group.
I believe countries try to shape and weaponize citizens’ opinions about other countries, so I refuse to defend or criticize them unless I can argue that doing so is beneficial to my ideas (i.e., not based on feelings or ethics). Thus, I’m neutral towards most countries and defend multipolarity.
I tend to doubt my ideas as much as I can.
So you think it’s morally wrong to be wrong? That’s an interesting perspective. It’s usually taken for granted that people are free to believe anything (religion, etc.). How would you tackle that if you had a choice?
It’s perfectly nice to say things I believe to be true and learn that they aren’t, why wouldn’t it be.

Tht wasn’t quite nice on your part, but still thank you.
Thanks, I wasn’t aware of those actions by the army. Guess that gives me a different view of the incident…

It’s impossible to systematically lie to an entire country’s population about the country itself. It’s never happened anywhere on Earth and will never do so with current technology. It is however trivial to lie about other countries, which I like to always keep in mind. Think for a moment what reason a Chinese person would even have to dislike their government, when they are clearly doing a good job and actually solving their problems. Even the victims of Tiananmen weren’t those often talked-about “pro-Democracy” students, most were anti-liberalization communist worker protestors.
You can accuse anyone of anything and start a trial, that’s how the justice system works.
If you use my snippet, I want your game. If you don’t agree, then you can’t use my snippet. The purpose of the GPL is simply to prevent people who don’t share from benefitting from people who do, which I think is pretty fair.
