        I can’t decide if I should block them so I don’t have to read their nonsense, or not so I can down vote their neolib propaganda.

          I’m in the same boat. A lot of what they say has merit but every so often they say something uber capitalist and I’m like ok Daniel Ortega.

      Interesting how you interpret engagement as a full-time job. Is it that hard to believe someone might just enjoy dismantling propaganda in their spare time? Or does the idea of critical thinking outside a paycheck confuse you?

      Maybe instead of questioning my “history,” you could try building one of your own—preferably one that doesn’t involve parroting banalities.

        Dismantling propaganda by endlessly propagandizing A and the opposite of A as China bad? Lmao

          Propagandizing? Cute buzzword. If pointing out the obvious contradictions in your worldview feels like propaganda to you, maybe the issue isn’t me—it’s your inability to defend your own stance without collapsing into clichés.

          China bad? That’s the depth of your critique? Lmao indeed.

            Ain’t my fault y’all use the vibes based analysis of “how can this be interpreted as a totalitarian power grab?” for everything. If your talking points are canned and labeled with the State Dept seal don’t expect the response to be unique every time, because your view sure isn’t.

            You ain’t destroying shit, I try to adjust my views according to hard evidence and you libs wouldn’t know what that is if a “trustrworthy anonymous source” pointed you to it.
