I'm interested in being just not civil, but excellent in interacting with others of different viewpoints in an online world where we can so viciously defend our echo chambers and be so dismissive of other perspectives.
Because this is less and less possible here, I'm largely offline and am not sure if I'll be returning. It was fun back when civility was a trend on qoto.

That's how I know what the DNC's strategy is : whatever they accuse the GOP of doing.

I am not persuaded that HCQ is an effective coronavirus treatment. But if I tested positive for coronavirus, and I couldn't get HCQ+zinc+Azithromycin within 24 hours, I'd start breaking all sorts of laws without remorse. https://twitter.com/ScottAdamsSays/status/1289919475291009026 #coronavirus

Kanye West tweets "Over 22,500,000 black babies have been aborted over the past 50 years"
A day after rap artist #Kanye West responded to those who criticized his emotional admission that he and wife, Kim Kardashian, nearly aborted their first daughter, the self-proclaimed presidential candidate shared an alarming figure concerning #abortion and the African-American community.
These black lives matter.

@denver_mccomb: "Just so I'm clear.
Teachers can shop at Lowe's, Kroger's, Macy's, Target, Dollar Store, Home Depot, Sam's club, Costco, and Meier's.
They can fill up their car with gas, haircuts, walks in the park, attend "peaceful protests", and have dinner with friends.
But not school."

One doesn't need to be a radical anarchist (I am not) to acknowledge these concerns:
“From the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic, there have been calls […] for […] governments to combat the spread of the virus. These calls may seem quite innocuous and unsurprising, but they represent a dangerous trend. […] Specifically, these calls for #government action highlight a concerning belief […] that, when faced with an economic, social, or political problem, we should first look to the government to ‘do something’ and that the government’s response will be in our best interest. These calls for action demonstrate not only […] acceptance of #paternalistic government practices, but our demand for more.”

This is really interesting. They colorized a photo by overlaying some lines in a grid and ONLY adding color to the lines but oversaturating the color. The rest of the image is black and white.
The result is that at a distance or in the thumbnail it just looks like an ordinary color photo. It is only when you look up close you notice what is going on.

There is absolutely NOTHING obtuse about my position. It's as clear as day.1/ If you want to wear a mask, then wear a mask2/ This should not be mandated by the government nor enforced by police 3/ Harassing strangers for not wearing or not wearing one is uncalled for.Done Tek: @ZubyMusic I like you mate and you talk a lot of sense on here. Which makes it all the more surprising you're so obtuse on this subject. https://twitter.com/ZubyMusic/status/1286611472504807425 #Zuby

China is using Uighur slave labor to produce medical masks
Days after drone video footage showed hundreds of blindfolded Uighur Muslim prisoners with shaved heads being led by Chinese military officers onto trains, a New York Times video investigation has revealed China is using Uighur slave labor to produce medical masks.
https://disrn.com/news/china-is-using-uighur-slave-labor-to-produce-medical-masks-amidst-pandemic
Was informed by a staff member of a #church in southwest #Denver metro that #colorado churches are being shut down by the government after their services were unknowingly monitored by government visitors who say they aren't following #COVID-19 restrictions closely enough so must shutter their doors.

China Orders Christians to Take Down Images of Jesus from Their Homes
"This year, China’s “social credit system” was scheduled to become fully functional"
"The officials threatened the Christians that non-compliance with the order would result in suspension of their welfare subsidies."
KGB style. Turning people into spies. You can't trust anyone:
"The fears are tied to “cash rewards for those who inform on underground churches and other ‘unofficial’ places of worship"
