You are serving an evil cause. It will go down in history as such.

Hopefully you never find out how hard people fight when they know that they are fighting pure evil.

Nah, please delete my account. I should be putting energy into a community that isn’t dominated by fascists.

To the fascists: Get the fuck out of our business, and maybe we can coexist peacefully. Or don’t, and see what happens.

Please wake up before things turn violent. Your side is literally going to start a war in the name of “public health”, if this continues.

The point is that this only works when the truth is on your side. “They” are understood to be the dominant/incumbent forces, but the truth eventually wins.

1. They ignore you

2. They mock you

3. They fight you <- You are here

4. You win!

Even the word “coronavirus” sounds scary and exotic.

Hiding will only grant legitimacy to tyrants.

In this case the flame is necessary, because these people are behaving like cowards, and many of them need to be slapped out of it.

Pathetic. If you’re going to stand up to the government, stand the fuck up! Don’t hide like a rat.

Asking this question pretty much reveals what you’re going to recommend. Obviously, I’m looking for opinions about: “CCP good, or CCP bad?”

Eh, I don’t really care which username recommends things on the internet, I care about finding more sources to expand my understanding.

pphysch’s sources could very well be garbage, but I can decide that for myself.

I can’t help but wonder how badly the CCP is actually fighting to suppress this, though - I think I heard laowhy86 argue that they might allow it to consume the news cycle, to distract from something else.

Seeing this comment, and seeing e.g. CBS highlight the story, it really just seems fishy in general. Something is different - maybe we’re just in a new era, but who knows.
