Attempts at nuanced discussions about topics like the Ukraine war or Taiwan that don't immediately tow the state department line seem to always get dismantled by emotionally charged responses like that.

When I see remarks like this I ask myself, why should I care?

It always come off like an attempt to refuse critical thinking and fall back into a Marvel good vs. evil worldview.

It's really this simple, unless you develop a materialist worldview your brain is just going to take the easy route of letting the "my family escaped communism" bits reinforce your established biases.
