Any community-driven blocklist is bound to be infiltrated by bigots, no thanks. I just watched a Project Veritas (which is in this blocklist)exposé of a Bernie staffer saying "Gulags were a lot better than the CIA has told us".

Sure, you can choose a version that only blocks ads and social if you want, if you look at the original github repo. The ad blocking list should be fairly reasonable to anyone.

You might want to use a better example than the brain trust over at Project Veritas.

It probably is, unlike nazi death camps, gulag prisoner behave more like city dwellers in the middle of Siberia. There were no fences because of you leave the camp/city there’s almost 0 chance to survive. Condition were brutal during Stalin years, primarily due to lack of food. A number of cities started as gulags/incorporated gulags still exist in Siberia/Arctic. If you picture a camp with fences and prison guards, yeah that’s wrong. If you think I’m defending gulags, note that all of what I’ve said are objective and can be factually proven/disproved. If you feel that way, you probably should investigate your own bias (i.e does my feeling preclude me from believing in facts?)

  It is not hard to be better than a concentration camp, there is a huge range of bad above the nazi camp level. I read Gulag Archipelago, so yes I might have a bias. > gulag prisoner behave more like city dwellers I don't even know what to make of this > A number of cities started as gulags/incorporated gulags still exist in Siberia/Arctic The ones exploring natural resources would be my guess, first with forced labor, then as a normal economy after this. > If you think I’m defending gulags It does sound like it, you even put a disclaimer
