Shitpost communities are fucking terrible because it’s either shitposts, which are like 50/50 on being good, or it’s a bunch of regular memes mixed with good shitposts that people upvoted.

Additionally: if a significant portion of the population was imprisoned, especially systematically by race, held against their will, and people were dying as a result of that, I would say that is the beginnings of a genocide.

Maybe I’m coming around on China, it’s the only one of those I would disagree with. So try to dispel some of my opinions on the Ugyhur situation. I got banned from .ml last night so I didn’t get to finish my fun argument.
It’s funny how I’m not even talking about Hamas, which I don’t view as much of a state, and more of a militia operation? Ik they’re technically the elected government but?
I’m talking about large scale world governments specifically. I’m not condemning mostly powerless people struggling for their lives.
