Comparing the people at DC currently and HK is so blatantly disrespectful, and such a false equivalence I don't even know where to start. Edit: Responding to redis_mic's comment below here, because it's been rightly flagged for misinformation. > There's plenty of evidence, literally tons, that the US 2020 election was rigged. Show some then. The public hasn't seen any. The courts haven't seen any. No one, has seen any. I am so done with people saying things repeatedly because they think it makes it true. Dang, I apologize for getting into flamewar territory.

Actually it's not. There's plenty of evidence, literally tons, that the US 2020 election was rigged. As the leader of the free world, the US 2020 election results are important to the entire world. HK, not so much.

Just a heads up: All of redis_mlc's comments are dead by default. You can easily confirm this yourself. Some here and there get vouched for by others but for the most part all will be dead. This happens to certain accounts by the moderation team. My account is the same.

I guess President Vladimir and Chairman Xi would be delighted with the comparison.

If you're going to argue back against someone who's post has already been deleted as misinformation you're probably the reason we shouldn't be trusting the System.

  Not sure I'm parsing this properly, but I think that you are saying that I'm untrustworthy for some reason, like I'm denying too hard or pushing back too hard against a fringe opinion? First, redis_mlc's comments are auto-killed, so just because it was dead already doesn't mean that people had flagged it yet. Second, that comment contains verifiably false information of a sort that is being spread around far too much already, so I am pointing that out, in the hopes that someone will have that be the straw that breaks the back of their illusion. I recognize that the US gov. does a lot of bad things. Between the three letter agencies, the extrajudicial killings of US citizens, the non-stop spying, the control by corporate interests etc. There's enough actual bad being done by the government, there's no need to invent any.

    Your argument is that "You haven't seen any evidence" while purporting to respond to someone whose posts are deleted _automatically_ by the machine. Saying "I haven't seen any evidence, so we're just going to keep this autodeletion machine running..." is an exercise in sanctimonous stupidity. I'm sure everyone who ran the censorship machine in East Germany or Russia (or programs the Great Firewall in China today) says the same damn thing.
