Don’t worry I’m here for every delicious bit of drama.

    I wish for once I could just have a civil conversation about my views without people immediately jumping down my throat and accusing me of being a CCP or Russian shill, or a dirty liberal, or a filthy communist. This is what I’m talking about when I say I just end up getting shit on from all sides. Every unsavory label in the book gets stuck to me before I even get a chance to clarify my views.

      I might enjoy this, but I’d have a requirement: Every participant join via webcam, not text posting.

      Yes, that gives away much of your identity and makes you vulnerable. That’s the shared price we’d all pay to have a little bit of trust in each other. It would make it much harder for one person to be a bot posting from multiple accounts.

      If we gave equal time to each and every shill, conscious or otherwise, then we would literally never talk about anything else except an infinite debate about whether or not a government office who hired an Operation Paperclip employee 70 years ago is capable of being a force of good.

      We just don’t have time for bullshit from people like you, keep searching.

        I believe there are a lot of government orgs that could be forces for good if they weren’t completely at the mercy of powerful corporations.
