      I’m really, really hoping a lot of folks see that comment. Online communities are rife with intelligence agents actively trying to sway online discourse.

      There’s a term in intelligence work for people who fight or support a cause they don’t fully understand: useful idiots. Anyone reading this, take a hard look at the facts of any situation. Do everything you can to cut down to the actual truth wherever possible. Make up your own mind. Don’t be a useful idiot.

      How is calling you a chuckle fuck a “mask slipping” moment. How much of a marshmallow are you. Anyway yeah China does have a bad human rights record but the US has far and away the most prisoners of anyone in the world which they use as chattel slaves all while telling everyone their citizens have the most rights and freedoms haha.

          You don’t have to be western to criticize it. Westerners criticize everyone else and make no fuss about it.

              You are making wild assumptions, that say more about you then them. You being on world could imply you aren’t capable of considering nuance, but that would be incredibly rude to apply the instances standard on each member.

        You big mad because your lies don’t land here like in hexbear or .ml.

        The mask refers to your “I’m cool calm and collected” false-peraona you’re struggling to maintain.

        Any other questions?
