I wish they would use those social credit scores to judge whether a congressman is able to stay in office, some seem to twist everything out of proportion to make themselves or their political party look better. How about using it to silence media that twists everything out of proportion to gain followers?
Ban political parties and media that do not properly express the whole truth first.
Oh shoot, my social credit score must have gone to the negative with this post.

This is not an ultimate list, but just to get a proper discussion going:
I will never be quiet if:
- There is a threat of danger to me or others, or other loss of something, right at the top: fundamental rights
- An injustice is done to someone weaker who cannot yet, generally cannot, or can no longer defend themselves.
I will never say anything if:
- If it's purely a matter of taste.
- Someone who is having a hard time but doing their best, at least trying. Then more positive words because I believe that efforts should be appreciated.
When the Nazis brought in the communists, I remained silent; I wasn't a communist.
When they brought the trade unionists, I remained silent, I wasn't a trade unionist.
When they took the Jews, I remained silent, I wasn't a Jew.
When they took me there was no one left to protest.

Sometimes wonder, while reading threads like this, if most of us are not just totally locked into our own internet bubbles by now.
Also sometimes wonder if were not reading a CCR AI-Chatbot, arguing with a Ruskie AI-Chatbot, arguing with a 5iiiii AI-Chatbot, ...
There is a tool-of-the-trade so to speak, where3 multi-member troll teams would infiltrate forums, blogs, or comment sections, and engage in all manner of talks, debates, and disagreements, with the hope of swaying the readers to one side, or just deciding that it was too difficult to see any kind of truth.
When the comment section on Bitchute started going heavily anti-_ : the thought came to me :
Why would a real person feel so emboldened, and safe, to post that much hate ?
Then I started wondering : who, or what, would not be afraid of posting hate ?
Wishing peace and Love to any real people reading this.

Thanks.
Methinks we are past the point of no return, on the societal level.
But just as we cannot see darkness, in a dark room, nor light, in 100% light : there seems to always be some kind of counter-balancing going-on in this realm.
So the darkness exploding, would indicate that light is also exploding.
Let us give minimal energy to these dark turns in society, and find the good folks exploding with beauty, Love, and walk with them.
You have done your part with this OP, and thanks.
Please do not feel in the slightest bad, when the dark vibes push back.
Just shine !!
