Am I misreading their comment or is everyone else? The top level comment said "The love of a woman pales in comparison to ...", meaning the love of a woman is less valuable. The gp comment says " clearly you're not married". Since they're arguing against the top level comment, they are arguing against the love of a woman being less valuable. So they're saying the love of a woman is more valuable. So they're saying "wife good".
You are absolutely correct... and entirely too logical to be human - that you, Data?
But, also probably wrong. I think OP comment was saying Chinese monitoring exceeds even that level of love & caring.
You may have missed the sort of "inversion" from the irony in the initial comment. The monitoring of the CCP and the love of a woman both have innate levels of "goodness", and one is very clearly well above the other. The initial comment is funny because it flips that apparent heirarchy on its head. The reply then asserts that, in fact, the two are comparable in "goodness", which moves the love of a woman "up" towards the "goodness" of the CCP. More simply, saying "You've clearly never been married" here implies that, in fact, the love of a woman can compare to the monitoring and scoring of the Chinese government. This is a comparison which paints the love of a woman in a bad light.
I have no idea if this comment makes sense, and may need a diagram.
I suddenly understood jack shit
