The misinformed and the outright reactionaries may sound similar at times, it is the nuance that we must address.

While I love dunking hexbear-chapochat, I'd say in principle you're right. Leftism is entirely isolated since the fall of the USSR, it's hard enough educating people when you're up against the propaganda machine that exists. Whatever little bit counts.

One thing that really gets people going "wow" is when I bring up housing in China compared to here in the West™, which exists just for speculation.

Got an infodump of those 'wow' statistics by any chance?
