It's not necessarily bad to have your views challenged now and again. It not only forces you to defend your own assumptions. If you look closely at someone who is in an echo chamber, you can start to identify areas where you are hobbled by being in an echo chamber.

Neither of these governments deserve a voice in Western society. Neither of them allow a Western voice in their society.

Wasn't it the West who always claimed to be more democratic and open? Now the evil governments don't "deserve a voice in Western society"?

"Yes, please censor the media and don't report truthfully on anything the non-Western govs do to ensure we remain free!"

lol

Yes, democratic and open to those with similar ideals. Go take your fascist ass back to your shithole.

"If you're not open to our evil ideals then you're not really open." What a weak argument lmao. Are you people even trying at this point?

It's bizarre how people instinctively seem to get foam around their mouths once you disagree with their assesment of this war and the Western simulation of liberal democracy. I'm an anarchist and antifascist. At least get your terminology in order before you recklessly give in to your lower instincts of insulting people without having any idea what you're talking about. Appreciated.
