      I’m using a common term not the technical term because if I use technical terms people don’t understand what the fuck I’m saying. They might as well be called the FJKOSJAFAIFO if everyone calls them that. This isn’t an academic paper. Also it’s practically an exonym vs endonym issue. You should also berate me for calling it China and not Zhongguo or it’s full endonymic name of Zhongguo Renmin Gongheguo.

        Everyone who posts on this site will understand what is meant by CPC

        Literally everyone on this site just thinks you’re a sinophobic lib when you say ccp instead of cpc unless doing an obvious bit, that is a terrible excuse.

        Also exonym is a term imparted by an outside group, why not simply use the proper name, unless perhaps you have an axe to grind about China?

          I don’t think it’s that serious. Lots of Chinese communists use CCP when speaking English because that’s just the most common term, and the situation when using CPC is important is when its value as a shibboleth can actually be taken advantage of. Making a point to only use ‘CPC’ in Hexbear is just preaching to the choir.

            Yeah but “third worldism” is commonly used by weird gonzalite westerners and combined with the CCP terminology it just gives off weird western maoist vibes.

          exonym

          China

          Don’t you mean Zhongguo Renmin Gongheguo.

          Why don’t you just come out and accuse me of whatever it is instead of trying to beat around the bush?

          Is my communication style bad? Sorry I’m literally autistic.

          Am I not fitting in? See above.

          Am I an evil lib seeking to spread anti-China sentiment?

          What is it?

          It’s complete debate pervert behavior to engage with a theory effort post by fixating on a technical label.

            This isn’t an academic paper.

            Pick one

            Also very funny you accuse me of being a debate pervert when you are exhibiting that exact behavior and that is the reason I commented.

              I respectfully started a conversation and stated my opinion in no way did I try to fight FunkyStuff or merthyr1831 and in fact I apologized to merthyr1831 if it came off that way based on me replying to what was clearly a joke.
