usually Quora is garbage but damn this is pretty good. Wish they went a bit more in-depth but I like this, it’s a change of pace from most garbage answers (and questions) from Quora lol

Zhihu (Chinese version of Quora, users are well educated)
Well educated users? No way this is like Quora, Quora is just rebranded Yahoo answers.
Post them a link to here and tell them that we're interested in knowing more. They won't face the usual racist, liberal brain rot. We're genuinely interested and any crackers who make our guest feel unwelcome will be asked politely to f-off.
That mention about Zhihu is interesting, since nowadays they tend to be mostly liberals who will label others "pinko" if any user praises the PRC lol.
They're commonly referred to as "public intellectuals" and they share the exact same pro-western smug moral superiority complex that other liberals around the world share.
Perhaps OOP was well aware of that nuance, that the website has a heavy liberal inclination; but not feeling particularly discussive, didn't choose to mention that. After all, any talk of the educated in the AES leaning towards liberalism and the west only encourages westerners to be more anti-AES.
I'm sure some people see this as "evidence" that the Chinese are inhuman slaves for thinking their great oppresor was actually a decent leader.
