It's always so cool to see this kind of Easter eggs. So sad that they're not as common as they used to be.

Trying to be considerate of others, even when they are different from ourselves, is indeed kind and good and does come with maturity. You needn't be corporate or have never done wrong to be considerate.

Sure, but that is not the situation. Proposals of the original communists sounded good on paper, too. Then came Stalin et al.
They are saying that they are considerate. In practice they censor, get rid of opposition, talk rudely and haughtily to anyone not in their circle, publish defamatory and incorrect summaries of CoC "incidents" and mock people on Twitter.
