Rule 5: No bigotry of any kind, including ironic bigotry.

Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.

Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.

Do you, or anyone else reading, have a source for that for me to use in future arguments?

Edit: I should find a less shitty source but 1( don't have the time right now and 2) it's a double edged sword as if you find one that doesn't include obligatory china-bashing will be decried as a seeseepee mouthpiece

Appreciate it. And I think it's pretty good actually. It's got some obvious brain worms in it, but I also like to find lib sources because it's the only ones libs accept, and there's a lot of straight up numbers that can't be denied in there.

Harvard's Kennedy School has a study on government approval ratings in China that should be helpful.

Why use it, when you know the response is gonna be about indoctrination/propaganda?

The Harvard one is good because it specifically accounts for that, so your next move can be the dreaded "Researchers have already anticipated and disproven your response."
