      Yeah uh… what do we do other than have generally positive opinions of AES countries?

          I would never. Now I'm going to count down from 60, and if you don't apologize by then, you're not gonna like it! countdown

          Idk about you but back when I was active in the News thread we were mostly just pointing out that Russia has legitimate, grounded reasons for what they're doing, that NATO provoked the war very intentionally and deliberately over the course of decades, and that the situation on the ground was largely provoked by the coup Rada's immediate decision to signal their intent to ethnically cleanse Eastern Ukraine of Russian culture and presumably of Russians.

          It's not about supporting Russia, even just saying out loud what was happening is generally an unforgivable sin.

        We dig up statistics and relevant documents about stuff like the 1932 famine. We link people to the UN investigation in Xinjiang. We provide grounded material analysis of world conflicts that go beyond "so and so is a dictator and a madman!". We're relentlessly critical of the Democrats and their refusal to wield power or help anyone. We point out that now even the Wiki says only about 300 people died at Tienanmen square and almost all of them were PLA soldiers or insurgents fighting on streets blocks away from the square.

        God, what other unforgivable sins do we commit? Explaining that Cuba's family law is vastly more progressive than anything in the US?

      I do worry a bit about the usual wrecker tricks that people like them use against sites they can't otherwise shut down. They won't ignore us. Our mere existence outside their control will gnaw at them. They're going to go full scale dirty-tricks.

      They consider their ideology to be vastly superior and that ideas should be debated in an open marketplace to see which is better.

      Yet they're terrified of letting a few hundred commies post.

      If only they would submit and learn our ways. We could increase their posting a thousand-fold!
