    I’d not be so quick with the use of the word “substantially”. The amount of people murdered for opposing the illegitimate government is quickly equalizing.

      Yeah, I can agree with that part. That the current admin is doing everything they can to stipple speech including deporting people critical of their Israel first policy. Unfortunately, I still see a lot of mods on here that are pro-censorship & leftists claiming we should censor people we don’t like, not realizing it will be used against them.

        I’d argue that the “left”/“right” leanings are an oversimplification that no longer has a use in the complex world of today. I prefer to go with empathetic vs. egocentric. I want to live in a world of people that are empathetic and want everyone to have a good live. I do not wish to live in a world of people who only look out for themselves & then think “fuck you, I got mine”.
