And then the person dropping this load of nonsense moves on without ever having to defend their point.
How do you combat this kind of bad-faith propagandizing? How do communities maintain some level of connection to reality and decency? It seems to infect every online space I visit.
Have you been to China? It's like a science fiction movie.

Trump is basically Gandhi compared to Mao. So I don't understand the weeping and wailing. Those people have all the guns in this country. If they want to try to fix America's government rather than murder us, I say let them try.
Why do you think this? Have you ever been to a country with a non-functioning government?
