I would really rather that these were actual examples, and not conspiracy theories. We all have our own unsubstantiated ideas about what shadowy no-gooders are doing, but I'd rather hear about things that are actually happening.

Your post history would be a lot funnier if it didn’t truly express the limits of your understanding.

Most of my post history is about getting illegally evicted by my oldest friend after I came out as bi and starting a new job at amazon to stay homed while I figure that shit out. You'd have an easier time laughing at that except for the fact it makes me ignorant of modern history?

These are objective facts that even mainstream western media now openly acknowledges, here are a few examples for you from just the past month

"Russia is winning" is premature, but Ukraine absolutely is collapsing, as evidenced by the press-ganging.

Also the usa is collapsing because the robots to replace you all are ALMOST good enough.
