Well if people like you spread pro ccp talking points then I see absolutely no reason why he shouldn't repeatedly post the evidence dismantling your propaganda. The absurdity is th…

You'd be better off not shilling for the ccp by attacking the validity of the video with petty remarks instead of specifying what exactly you are missing sources for. Most of the c…

Exactly, now we need schools in Britain to respect women more, instead of persecuting them for wearing skirts that are 'too long'. https://www.theguardian.com/education/2021/jan/12…

It works perfectly well. The only thing that stands is your bias.

Thanks for clarifying. I still don't see your point. Fact is that the hyperbolic statement that one is punished for 'just existing' is false. The arguments dealing with that are qu…
