Sorry. I know the distinction is a little fine between honest opinions on points of view, and disrespecting people.

I do think just blaming other countries is a simple-minded thing to do. I suggest you go and do that in an Indian/Chinese subreddit to give them a chance to present their own counterarguments. My 'dishonest' statement had an 'if' associated with it, which doesn't necessarily mean it applies to you. If what I was calling dishonest does apply to you, I really hope you give it some more thought, or ask me to clarify sometime.

I personally think the extreme left and the extreme right are almost equally retarded, and dividing the world up on those terms just plays into the hands of those in power.

I appreciate being able to speak plainly - if you wish to tell me exactly what you think of me or my opinions in blunt terms you're welcome to. Again, among the various online people that I've never actually met, you seem like a decent person.

That is a belief we definitely have in common. The radicals are just an absurdity.

I like you as someone I've never met, and I'm happy you debated with me and called me out for a shit comment. It is nice having someone that doesn't share your views but doesn't get entirely triggered the second you present an alternative viewpoint.
