  No, I don't believe in using authoritarian tools as a means to an end because that means you've already given up believing in the strength of your own values. At that point you've already accepted the authoritarian's point of view. They justify their measures the exact same way. And this case in particular, anyone who reduces an 18 year old Chinese kid, who had no choice in what system they grew up in to "the CCP", not even treats them like a real individual, they have a lot of poison in their heart and I think don't care about liberty, or education or democracy as much as the pretend to do.

    This is a grossly uncharitable interpretation of my comment. I specifically mentioned the CCP to distinguish it from Chinese citizens who I consider to be oppressed by the parasitical CCP. Your position regarding not using the tools of an authoritarian entity against them is untenable. Would you also refuse to use the the mass surveillance apparatus that the CCP has constructed to find weaknesses in their system to exploit with the purpose of bringing out revolution in China?
