Is creating echo chambers really desirable in our current political climate? Democracy is built on a foundation of free and open discourse, not in censoring opinions that we don't agree with. All that does is polarize and radicalize people even more.
Oh, it's not a matter of opinions; I just can't stand Hexbear's ugly emojis polluting my screen.
There's also them assuming that anyone disagreeing with them must be a pro-murica propaganda-guzzling librul, as well as contrarianly shilling for anything that is anti-DaWest™ (or was once communist, if we take some liberties with the term), but that's far less important 🤓
Okay, I must admit: this Putin on Xi's balls emoji is quite cool actually.
Well at least you've learned to insult Xi without being racist against Chinese people, that's some real progress
