The US government used to take black people, tell them they were getting free medical care, and instead gave them syphilis and purposefully refused to treat it to watch the disease's progression.

The US government, via the CIA, decided to infiltrate every national news outlet in order to influence what stories were published.

Both of these are proven facts, the last one is from declassified CIA documents.

Yes, there are some normal people in government. But the US government has done some of the worst actions of any group in history.

Bringing up comparators is not deflection. And no, you didn't refute my claim. Self defense is not offensive wars. You can be peaceful while being forced into war. Peaceful does not mean no violent, simply not seeking violence.

As someone that actively uses Tiktok, no, no it doesn't remove lgbtq+ content for being lgbtq+. I have no doubts some creators screech about censorship because their nearly nude thirst traps got deleted; but pride is covered every year and at least a few thousand trans creators exclusively owe their treatment payments due to Tiktok giving them a platform and actively boosting them.

No, no it doesn't. Tiktok has a bigger lgbtq+ creator presence than YouTube or Facebook.

You know most people in China have unrestricted internet access, right? It's the equivalent of a couple bucks USD a year for a cheap VPN, and it's not a criminal infraction to bypass the country's default restrictions.

No, Patrick, not everyone that disagrees with you is a bad faith actor.

That's part of the problem with modern liberals, you've propagandized yourselves into believing you're the only intelligent creatures and anything or anyone else that doesn't agree must be subhuman idiots. It's why you people constantly fail to secure even the easiest of support.

Right, when you choose to be black, people like you give it consequences. Your logic is flawless.

I'm not the person you were arguing with. Based on your argument, your words, there are no consequences for discriminating against black people, and shouldn't be.

There are, if you include the law, but since we're ignoring it to make your argument work, there's no consequences.

When arguing something, trying arguing the opposite to yourself before posting.

Based on your argument, free speech means no consequences. Stop being a debate bro if you're this bad at it.

You were wrong, and he thoroughly showed you how you were wrong.

By your logic being black has consequences.

I'm very familiar with that bit of misunderstanding you people tend to have, I'm trying to actually educate you on reality, instead of the opinions of the CIA.

Trusting the US government as a blahaj user seems dumb to me, but hey.
