None of the west's enemies are afforded the same generosity. Maybe we don't want the majority of guests to be a bunch of mindless parrots who only care about human rights when mainstream media from "their side" tell them to care (as an excuse to project power globally). It ends up permeating all discussions, even ones that aren't directly about politics and you end up building an echo chamber. It shapes how you see the world, for example, you took a post talking specifically about western leadership to be about "convicting all of western civilization" as if the victim of the genocide is actually the west.
