- liaukovv 6y agoDo you even understand how insulting it is to deny other people agency? That's the most insulting thing you can do or say, worse than racism, sexism or whatever else, it is plain denying that the other person is a human with their own free will.
- ZenPsycho 6y agodo you even understand how ridiculous you sound? some tinfoil hat videos might get deleted and suddenly you’re reverse racism ghandi?
- liaukovv 6y agoSo you take it upon yourself to tell those heathens what they should think?
- ZenPsycho 6y agohah, that’s a laugh. normally it’s the guys calling for an end to superstitions that get called heathens. carry on good sir, defend to the death the right for people to sell quack medicine using someone else’s property. i am sure it’s what locke would have done.
