      Always wise? No. The correct response 99.44% of the time you see “CCP” being used? Absolutely. And I’m willing to sacrifice the 0.56% CCP-users who aren’t raging ignoramuses to avoid reading the same old tired, inaccurate, biased talking points of the 99.44%.

          The day the average western person is actually interested in learning about things instead of labeling them with their preconceptions and projections is the day I’ll stop thinking of them as ignoramuses.

          Those who are interested in learning are almost by definition not average. And they tend to learn just fine … without even getting butthurt at a correction to the point they go on and on about it interminably for months after getting corrected.

      When people correct your mistakes, you should learn from that and correct yourself in the future instead of screeching about being harassed.

      Oh, incidentally, the first sentence on Wikipedia reads:

      The Chinese Communist Party (CCP),[5] officially the Communist Party of China (CPC),[6] is the founding and sole ruling party of the People’s Republic of China (PRC).[7][8]

      (Emphasis is mine, not in original text.)

      The fact that a bunch of outsiders thinks their version is the right one and the actual party itself doesn’t know its own name just tells me that said outsiders can be safely discarded as having any opinions of value or note.
