Nobody is willing to even entertain the idea that West isn't Best. Suggesting that whitey shouldn't rule the world is received as if you'd advocated cannibalism, and you will be condescended to and treated like an ignorant child even as they make it clear they know much less than you do about the subject at hand, if not outright ejected from the community. It's not just bots and manufacturing consent, either - it happens to me in real life just as easily as it happens online.

Anyone who isn't unconditionally anti-NATO and anti-American hegemony is a white supremacist. No exceptions.

Love this place, though. I think I'd go crazy if it wasn't for you guys. Glad I have somewhere to get this off my chest :soviet-heart:

    No, I never get anywhere near that far. Usually all it takes is "I don't think we can trust the media to give us the unvarnished truth about Ukraine, considering all the wars they've lied about in the past" or "I don't see why Chinese ships in the South China Sea are a sign of belligerence but American ships in the South China Sea are not."
