Why do we keep on looking to build echo chambers? Having discourse is an essential component of a healthy democracy.

No, using tanks on fascists is part of a healthy democracy. Have you seen America? We have less voting rights than the Chinese and part of the reason why us we just let the worst people on earth just run about saying stupid things. We have to spend all our time and energy on them instead of trying to achieve nice things

bad faith one liners

I know seriously, we HexBearer have been dealing with so many Libs dropping thought terminating cliques. "MUH SOCIAL CREDIT SCORE!" "LE HOLODMOROR!"

It's fucking exhausting.

It is pretty funny how you can't exist without brainless sheepish brigading. You are such a bunch of individual thinkers parrotting each others bad takes in endless spam nonsense.
