What's most terrifying is that they're probably not even a paid shill. Chances are they're either a troll or equally likely - cognitively captured, like millions of others, spewing repeatedly debunked falsehoods at every corner in a perpetual show of one-upmanship. And ultimately - trapped in a vicious circle of lies.

This is the world they are building. This is the lobotomized reality that awaits all of us if we don't figure out a way to build a sustainable, high-quality information environment.

Playing the reverse psychology game, aye?

Boy, you better stretch those cheeks further apart and get that tongue up in there. There's a lot more kissass that Elon deserves and I'm not hearing!

You have a highly idealistic perspective on China. This isn't to say that things are lerfect in Europe or North America - they most definitely aren't. But it is to say that two things can be true at the same time, i.e., there are growing issues in the West and China has a highly oppressive regime.

There is a natural temptation to whitewash and exxagerate the good in other times and places, especially ones that are directly juxtaposed to the one you are inhabiting and are critical toward.

However, we must resist these temptations lest we doom ourselves to repeat the same mistake over and over.

They're obviouslt just spitting vitriol in response what is perceived as a threat to their identity. Which apparently is the notion that someone somewhere might beattempting to live free and joyously while also being reflexive about past mistakes.

The audacity of those darned European! If I'm not happy, then nobody should!

Careful, your complexes are overspilling.

So you'll be conditioning yourself ahead of time?

Ignorance is not bliss. And neither is being a useless coward.

You seem to have forgotten to multiply by 100 after you divided 209 by 1,548.

209 is 13.5% of 1,548, not 0.13%.

Edit: It is a bit disturbing how many people upvote things without making even the most basic sanity check.

I know its a joke but just to note: I'd love to see Germany "march through Poland" given the poor state of Germany's armed forces. As it is rn, Poland alone could most likely reach Russia's heart in a couple of weeks of conventional warfare and debilitate Russian critical infrastructure long before that. Barring nukes of course, which is basically all the Kremlin would have to hang on to in a full out direct confrontation given just how incompetent their armed forces have proven to be.

So was Hitler. Thing is, natural law and positive law can diverge significantly, meaning ctitizens will sometimes have to organize against the products of positive law to preserve their decency and freedom.
