Wellll, I’m not sure about that. I would say that’s actually one of the core tenants.

That’s really awful that people would post that kind of stuff. You should tell me where it’s posted so I can avoid it

Lol

This is, as you say, “cope”

Camus!

I don’t know. The more I read about countries like China and Cuba, the more I realize I really have no idea what’s going on or how things work over there. And it’s not like it is easy to find unbiased information.

BBC really can’t help being sinophobic in any situation, huh?

Why is this country doing better? It must be mommy and daddy’s money.

Where did that money come from? How come %70 of millennials have rich parents? How does that work?

I peruse ModWiggler occasionally (bbs forum for synthesizer enthusiasts), more often since the Reddit blackout stuff when I stopped using it.

And I am actually quite pleasantly surprised by the quality of discussion and how many people are actually open to more radical ideologies. Way more personal and pleasant than subreddits for the topic. In fact, most synth enthusiasts I know are leftists. I don’t really know why.

I think there is an argument to be made that communities that are smaller and harder to enter have better social health.

Also, I think forum users tend to be older, so you get less edgy teens. I don’t trust surveys. I think most people I interact with on Reddit are teens. Surely they wouldn’t lie about their age, right?

Is she wrong? I don’t think you or I understand what it’s like to be such a public figure. You’re kind of making this about you to be honest and I don’t really think it’s justified.

I’ve been watching RLM for years and was always kind of dreading a reactionary right-wing turn from their content but I’m glad that hasn’t happened.
