That was the point of the reply wasn't it? Maybe I assume too much of them.

    Nah, the point of the reply was supposed to be "America bad", despite most of us clearly recognizing "Elon bad".

    The reply just pointed out the hypocrisy of the original poster.

    (As in "here you are a willing participant in a forum were censorship is just as bad complaining about how there is this other forum were censorship is bad")

    American government bad. A government that Elon will have a lot of influence in starting Monday. There's little meaningful difference between the two.

    It's hard to take any apologists for the CCP seriously even if they make a good point.

    That user is being hypocritical by using Twitter while bashing censorship, but it would be the cultural equivalent to praising Biden or Trump for never drinking and somebody comes along and praises Hitler for also not drinking. You should not praise Hitler even if it is true.

    Are they CCP apologists? I have no idea who any of these people are.

    Without any context, I read it as:

    Haha Chinese censorship

    You're on a censored platform too.

    In this precise example they are apologists because they're deflecting criticism and bringing up other wrongdoings done by other people in a different part of the world under different means and for different goals.
