There was nothing immediate about it. As I've already once described to you, I came to this thread after accusations of chinese bots were being thrown out. I came to this thread after other users had taken the time to explain their reasoning, which was entirely ignored.

Again, there is no assumption of racism. I've already pointed out once how incredibly racist it is to go "Well if you disagree with me, you're a chinese machine". It's sinophobic orientalism. This has been pointed out, to you as well. Stop pretending like I'm just yelling "racist" at everyone I disagree with.

This is also why most hexbear users aren't that sad you wanna defederate. You're delusional. You keep crying about "civility" and "sudden insults" as if these things come out of nowhere, despite every single interaction being like this - One of you libs starting bad-faith discussions, then crying when you're not being taken seriously.

assuming everyone else is talking in bad faith

Look thru this thread and tell me honestly that you think they're working in good faith.

At least freagle made an actual argument with historical context and such

Which wasn't responded to, instead it was derisively mocked.

and even though I think things from the 1800s aren't an excuse to never work with the west again

That wasn't their argument. Engage with the text that you're being presented, stop misrepresenting it. And if you disagree with the notion, then ARGUE AGAINST IT instead of insulting other users, then getting surprised when you're treated the same way.

they made a point and supported it earnestly.

Yeah, and it was met with bad-faith trolling. Why do you think I should take some troll seriously, just because you happen to agree with them? Civility is a two-way street, I'm not gonna validate some dickhead.

edit: Their response is yet another thoughtless trolling comment, yet you somehow take issue with me? It's pretty clear by your actions that your only real problem is that I disagree with you.
