Want objective China 'analysis'? Delusional megacult infidelophobes are not your go-to 'journalists'

Stan Grant is not a voice that represents all Australians, and he is clearly not capable of anything resembling objectivity. In a recent 'analysis' for the ABC, he chooses to 'compare' a bad view of China with a really bad view of China.

Delusional megacultist Frances Adamson's China bashing compared with Ai Weiei's even worse China bashing. Hardly a critical contrast, Stan.

The ABC labelled it an analysis. So apparently the bar is low for analyses at the 'ee bee cee' There's some poetry - or perhaps some rap - to be had in there somewhere, but I am not feeling adventurous enough today. Or am I...

Anal-y-sees

Okay. I should have obeyed my first instinct and refrained from that refrain. There's already musical intertextualit-ee.

As a professional analytic philosopher, I am able to easily notice the biased premises and narrative in Stan's analyses. Some folk might not grasp the relevance. On the other hand: most folk probably do. It's not hard to grasp. Stan gives you two choices (which is silly to begin with) of perspective on China: bad, and really bad.

Very balanced.

*Cough*.

Aside from the fact that the bad perspective is also from a megacult delusional with an imaginary omniscient friend (never an encouraging sign if one is looking for reasoned analyses), and the other perspective is from an artist, who, while famous, may well be an actual evader of tax: there's Grant's own megacult infidelophobia to account for.

Stan - you're a delusional megacultist, and no one cares what your imaginary friend and your megacult thinks outside of your nutty megacult.

Is that rude an arrogant? Gee. I don't know. Seems like telling people that they should agree with you because you have a grandiose delusion of friendship with some almighty imaginary friend might be pushing the boundaries of politeness. Just saying, as the millennials and Gen-Z-ers put it.

Admittedly there are a lot of people in your megacult of mental patients, but that doesn't mean that they don't all have a serious mental pathology. Most people die from heart disease and cancer. That the two diseases are so common does not make them any less diseases.

The same goes for adults with an omniscient imaginary friend. That's a mental disease state if ever there was one. That those same adults believe that their imaginary omipotent friend is not only real, but have magical supernatural powers, doesn't make the situation better. That would be what psychologists and psychiatrists (who are not themselves delusional) call, in technical language: even worse.

So you don't like the CPC because they're powerful and they don't succumb to the megacult bullying that normally works on the locals who think that tolerance somehow requires it (which of course, it doesn't.) We get it.

Now - about your imaginary, almighty friend, Stan...
