I’ve seen several references to some sort of rift between the users of these instances today. What’s happening?

      They do.

      Communists don’t have to lie or censor others to get their point across.

      Just tell the truth and more people would be sympathetic to their cause.

        History shows that simply telling the truth isn’t actually convincing for those who choose not to be open to new ideas. We all do this, none of us are immune, but only those with class interests aligned with communism tend to be open to new information challenging liberal mainstream perception.

          Lol, history has not shown that.

          If you honestly believe that lying is going to recruit more people to your cause, then keep doing that and see how it works out for you.

          The present is telling you that it’s not working.

            I can’t believe anyone on the Internet is naive enough to believe that just being given factual information is enough to make people change their mind. How could you think that is true when you know, everything? Also who could doubt the power of propaganda?

              I’m pretty sure they were just taking a knee-jerk reaction deliberately. I could have said I think puppies are cute and they would have accused me of animal abuse.
