I didn't say it's a wild assumption, just pointing out this is why it's probably a better idea to just... not make such an assumption in the first place. 4 million Americans live abroad, it isn't exactly unheard of. But with this clarification, it is now clear the point is just to personally find justification to dismiss dissenting opinion. Which I'm not particularly interested in engaging with, so I'm going to just put an end to it here. Have a good one, though.
1%. 99% odds is really good for such low stakes assumptions.
No I just don't like westerners diluting what it actually means to have received a true academic education in Marxism by parading around a nonsense credential from the core of anti-communism. And again I simply said I found it doubtful it was studied properly, as in with full context without some sort of at a bare minimum compatible left twist to at worst some capitalist bootlicking and NED tier nonsense added in "to give both sides" or such.
Would hit harder if you had any engagement to speak of rather than stating vague generalities. You could have given some depth to what you studied and how etc show some bonafides yknow instead of dancing around the point so that you could run away feigning offense at someone making an assumption that is 99% precise.
