I don’t like to see so many political posts in all and so many weird images in comment sections

    “Trade quotas are only evil when non-western countries use them” “Online moderation of politically divisive and inflammatory material is only authoritarian when non-western countries do it”

    I’m sure you were in tears when Jan 6 destroyed American democracy and cheering when the HK parliament was stormed by the same reactionary elements. Head-ass shitlib.

        Taking a break from this to eat dinner. I’ll draft something up after that, since, yes, the USA does ban memes. Why do you think r/cth was removed, precipitating us to move to Hexbear? ‘Slaveowners should be killed’ meme is basically about the USA.

            G “China banned Winnie”

            R “No they didn’t and here’s evidence”

            G “Oh I’ll choose to ignore that”

            G “The USA doesn’t censor online political speech”

            R “Yes they do and here’s a directly relevant example to our discussion from the self proclaimed ‘front page of the internet’”

            G “Oh you’re just a shit posting community that doesn’t count”

            You completely cave from every point in the face of scrutiny. Do you have any shame? You retreat every time and just throw out another glib line. Thanks for the thought dulling discussions mate.

                Yeh I know, thanks for the reminder though. I’m keeping in mind the friends following along at home, who may be undecided about this kind of stuff, and trying to put forward a relatively sourced, evidential argument for them, not necessarily goat. I myself was swayed by lurking on forums like this. I’m not nearly as good as other comrades but it’s honest work.
