What's a reddit? I used baconreader but that doesn't exist anymore.
Baconreader gang rise up.
And do what?
BaconReader was good but Boost was god-tier.
And Apollo was streets ahead of Boost.
HEY, there were tens of us! I honestly didn't know about any other app until far too long to admit...but that was the only one i liked, so once it was gone so was I. I do appreciate the diversity of posts here, a LOT more than the algorithm of reddit (or any other social media). I have my setting at all, new and there is some wild shit going on around the world. Except for the russian/chinese simps, this is pretty good. (FWIW, since i stated that I should explain myself: anyone who thinks any single current government is better than another is completely compromised by that governments propaganda)
To your last point. If that were true then it follows that all governments are exactly as good (or as bad) as each other. You don't seriously believe that every single government on earth have equal merit though? Plenty of people have unjustified opinions of certain governments but that doesn't mean that every opinion is unjustified and there are no better/worse governments.
If I asked you which government was better, Sweden or North Korea, it's not exactly a stretch to say there is an objective answer. A governments job is to manage the nation for the people, and some countries do a far better job of that than others.
I think the point I was trying to make was that making your whole persona about one government over another is...well...shit. I mean each one has good/bad points, however I do not see the point in working myself up over who is currently exploiting the majority of people.
Yep, no arguments there!
