Does “simping” even matter? Like, really think about it. If I support China (for example) what effect does that really have? Does that help China? Not really. My personal opinion about China probably has zero impact one way or the other. So, who cares?

That sounds rather nihilistic. If it doesn’t matter, why bother having an opinion in the first place? You sound trapped in the sports-politics schema, as if politics can only happen in a Bushesque “you are with or against us” manner. I admire what the Chinese regime has achieved in the past few decades, by not only lifting hundred of millions of people out of poverty, but also preparing China, and in a way the world, for a brighter future. However, that doesnt mean I blindly support their management of public discourse, or expansionist tendencies in South China Sea, stealing territories from Vietnam and the Philippines, for example.
