      “let’s just ignore the authoritarianism and fascism because it’s open source :3”

      How is this not making the empires argument for them?

        So in order to not be carrying water for the U.S. I need to disagree with literally everything they say?

        I’m not parroting. All words and opinions are mine.

          You are a product of very effective propaganda, so effective you think you came up with those ideas on your own.

          Your words and opinions are a regurgitation of ancient red scare propaganda. They are easy to recognize when you actually learn (or really, unlearn) how language and narratives have been crafted against the left. You have no knowledge of this so you believe your language, which could be lifted from the mouth of a genocidal US general in the 60s (or a racist anarchist in the 30s!), is actually your own unique idea and not something you have absorbed from your context - your upbringing, your education, your social circle, and the media you are exposed to.

          Again, you know basically nothing here. You tacitly admit it with every obvioua fib. Just be honest and ask questions instead of trying to fight when you have tied both of your own hands behind your back.

          When you’re in hexbear you better come heavy with materialist analysis and citations or dont come at all.

          Your earlier mention about bias indicators should have come with a link at the very least.
