    They know. They just don’t care. They’re authoritarian hypocrites. Just like many in the US. Our government has done similar countless times over its history. To them its not a bad thing that a government did it. It’s only bad when the “west” does it.

    They don’t have a solid ideology or morals. Its all moral relativism and “our” might makes right. Nothing deeper than that. You are only an ally as long as you’re convenient.

        Pretty much. There’s more daylight between individual electrons in a neutron star than there is between different sects of authoritarianism.

      The one thing I will say about world is that its generally not the admins. You’ll find PTB everywhere. But it’s worst when it is the admins themselves, or mods doing it with the blessing and endorsement of the admins. That said, there are still plenty militant leninist lurking on world.

        Definitely some butthurt going on in political memes, that’s for sure. . I was being ridiculed with nothing but ad hominem, so I reported the clowns that were violating the rules, and I was banned for my efforts,

        lmao!

        Shit you’d expect from .ml.

        If I were an overly suspicious person, there’s quite a few .ml sock puppets acting as mods in other instances.

          I don’t know if it’s sock puppets or automated downvoting. Hypocrites exist everywhere. And anyone can become one at the drop of a hat if they’re not careful. But I am thankful that the admins try to stay out.

    Besides, what even is a “conspiracy theory”? Sounds to me like the implied meaning differs from what can be interpreted from the words used.
