i never voted to be at war with China, i think most of this is fearmongering, and we managed to survive the entire cold war without banning foreign ownership of media outlets.

We disagree on Taiwan’s independence [1].

I genuinely don’t care about where you’re from or your thoughts about me. Like, sure, I’m a sentient cheetah with an igloo on Antarctica.

But I am curious about your thoughts. If you’re open to engaging on that level, I’m actually curious.
