I used to like Naomi, but like a lot of intelligent people online recently, she has caught the politics mind virus and began using her platform to spread even more hate and division.

These days I find myself desperately craving an online community that just focuses on building cool projects and learning about new stuff, rather than pointless political debates that have extremely little relevance in anyone’s lives.

That is very easy to say if politics has little or no relevance in your particular life. Understand that other people have different experiences.

Zanneth|2 years ago

That's a very presumptuous thing to say. I'm not any different from anyone else.

The greatest lie that politicians ever told was that they have power over how you live your life. The sooner people stop believing this, the sooner we can all move on from politics and start building stuff again.

"I wish this person being persecuted by her government would stop being so political"

Zanneth|2 years ago

I never said she should be persecuted by her government. You are unfairly attempting to put words in my mouth.

What hate did she spread?

Naomi has taken to an extreme view on COVID, claiming that policies that are any less authoritarian than the (now provably failed) “zero COVID” policy are attempts by the state to purposefully kill elderly and sick people so that survivors can apparently enjoy greater tax revenue.

This is only one of many examples where she used her platform to stoke the intercultural flamewars between China and the West.
