I think the fact that there is a variety of opinions being posted, compared to the censorship I witnessed on Reddit, is the more mature situation. If anyone is being childish, it's those who feel the need to censor opposing ideologies. Feeling free to post and discuss differing views has a lot of value. I am assuming by your use of "commie" that you'd rather dismiss an entire ideology and group of supporters outright rather than on any real grounds.

What opinions and ideologies are you referring to exactly? What discussions are you referring to?

This person is simply pushing the interests of the Chinese government and only replies insults and bad faith arguments when you try to engage in "discussion" or comment "opposing ideologies." They're not advocating for communism, they're advocating for their specific government to control more. Pretty laughable especially in the context of censorship considering China monitors their entire nation's internet traffic and censors everything that isn't pro-China.
