Rules:

  1. Be civil and nice.
  2. Try not to excessively repost, as a rule of thumb, wait at least 2 months to do it if you have to.

imagine making social media so bad your own citizens actively procure your biggest rival's networks.

Imagine allowing citizens to be so free that they can go to your biggest rival's social media to read narratives favouring them, get influenced by rival propaganda, and then shit you on your percieved weak points.

It’s never too late to discard your patriotism to a state that doesn’t give a fuck about you. You don’t owe it your allegiance, be it Burgerland or India or whichever shitty capitalist state.

Patritoism?
I suppose it is easy to be patriotic to a state which hides even publicly known events from its plebs.

Try to get opinion of the Chinese on RedNote about Uyguirs and Teinman Square. I'll wait.

I think there's a simple desire to move to pastures new. "Use Instagrmam or Youtube Shorts or Snapchat" No, we've been there and done that.
