🫡 Thank you for educating me about my government (that has 95+% support among the people even according to western institutes like Harvard). You a half Filipino American clearly understand it and it's nuances better than me despite not being able to engage with any of the analysis I put forth. It is so gracious of you to shoulder the white man's burden on their behalf. Again I salute you 🫡
FYI, as a post ages, there are diminishing returns to engaging, because the audience quickly dwindles. Somehow @Cowbee@lemmy.ml keeps going and never burns out—maybe he was bit by a radioactive debatebro—but most mortals need to pick their battles more strategically.
I don't mind engaging even without the audience if someone is directly replying to me. Best case it's an interesting conversation worst case I get to laugh at the idiocy of your average bigot.
🫡 As you were, then.

The radioactive debatebro is my past reddit self... Trying to recover from that, haha.
