Victims of communist regimes all have terms for Westerners like you who make apologetic arguments in favor of their dictators from the safety of a Liberal democracy.

The role you're playing and your perspective is nothing new in the last century of fascist dictators depriving people of rights under the banner of communism.

And again, you're framing it as an American vs China thing (nukes?). You're a useful tool of the CCP, even adopting their talking points and framing it in the ways they do when they indoctrinate their own citizenry.

Your final argument sounds like a doctor complaining that the patients family won't like hearing the news that insurance won't cover cancer treatments no matter what tone they use. The content you are delivering is in support of cruelty and evil in the world, I'm protesting that you try packaging it in courtesy to disguise that fact.

I think presenting my views politely is better than just personally attacking the character of people talking to me and accusing them of being dupes. Clearly you see it differently, and I welcome you to engage in mud-slinging with others whose idea of a productive discussion better matches yours.
