First of all, I am from Hong Kong and utterly hate the CCP and tankies. It's frankly insulting that you would compare me to them when they consistently fight for the complete eradication of the Hong Kong identity.

But more importantly, there's a line to be drawn there. I agree that it is important to be informed โ€” but you don't need Israel tweeting photos of dead babies onto everyone's Twitter feeds and traumatising people to be informed that babies died. You don't need to personally witness every single gory detail of humanity's terrible sins in order to know that things have happened. That's what people do as a job in journalism, and they have lots of protection to make sure they're not traumatised by it. The average Lemming doesn't need to see that.

Russian apologist who supports Russia in the Ukraine war is how I understand it.

Also they support the CCP

They have a veneer of communism but they really just support authoritarianism especially among geopolitical enemies of the USA.

Authoritarians of the left. For example, they support Putin because they're against NATO, and they praise Mao, Stalin and other brutal dictators.
