Arguing about it does not do much to build community. hahaha, anything bad adjacent china/russia/DPRK(aka enemies of the democracy) were never flagged but to be fair, there are rarely any disputes under these submits. > Lots of users flag things because it’s a guaranteed flame war no, lots of users flag things because it doesnt fit the narrative i know this clearly, you know this clearly, everyone knows this clearly, some just pretend they don't However, I believe this is precisely one manifestation of democracy. Just as the Israeli people "democratically" support genocide, once you control education and dominate the narrative, democracy will do the rest for you 20 years later, genocide in gaza will become misinformation pushed by CCP and Putin, everyone mention it will be flagged |
