I think a little clarification is needed. No. I don’t actually think everyone there is insane. I don’t care about the bans so stop trying to use that. HB enthusiasts coming here and trying to call me out achieves nothing besides proving my point

Edit: Feel free to keep trying to brigade me. It’s not going to scare me to take this down

    That’s not abnormal. Supporting authoritarian and totalitarian regimes means they themselves are authoritarian or totalitarian and just haven’t been able properly exemplify the authority they feel they deserve

        First, I see you disagree, and thank you for expressing your disagreement in a respectful way.

        Now, with that being said, what evidence do you have that your media is no different?

        And please understand I’m not being sarcastic or playing a game. I am legitimately curious of your perspective. I really wish to understand your perspective. If any other person tries to treat you like crap, I’ll do my best to keep them from being shitty to you. Please feel free to explain your ideology in a respectful way and I will do my best to protect you from ridicule as well

        Edit: also if I misunderstood what you’re saying, please say so and I’ll correct myself

        There is also a bunch of books and historical records that point to the same conclusions.

        But, sure, backhanded invectives that someone is brainwashed and stupid will sure convince people otherwise.

          Who said stupid?

          Edit: I changed it because it was me assuming. I don’t want anyone to feel stupid. If someone called you stupid in my post, point them out and I’ll take care of it (at least in my post)

      Considering how the US’s CIA will infiltrate leftist groups to undermine and break those groups up, would that make the US an authoritarian state? And if someone passively enables authoritarianism through complacency then does that not make them authoritarians by default?

      Read up on Operation Gladio if you want a peak at how deeply fascist / authoritarian the US truly is: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Gladio

        I am already aware of the CIA’s fuckery. It’s no different than what the KGB was. They claim(ed) counter intelligence, but ultimately, their job is/was to destabilize to create political advantage. Career liars every last one of them
