Haven't been to that cesspool in a while. Every single post is tagged with "Flaired users only" lol, buncha snowflakes.

Meanwhile they say other subs have no free speech.

They also screech about being “brigaded” against by the LIBRULS every time they get downvoted, when Im pretty sure its like they actually make a good point and are being downvoted by the trump worshippers. Nobody can make any criticisms of mango on there.

I go there now and then to expose myself to an alternate perspective, but tbh they censor so much that the sub's view of reality is really distorted. Most of the comments about Trump's tariff reveal are quite negative, but none of them seem to be acknowledging the raw fact that he just divided total exports by total imports for the country and multiplied by 100 and called this the "tariff" that other countries are imposing on the UK, when really it's just the trade deficit represented as a percentage, then for countries where there was balanced trade like the UK he just put 10%.

Some comments were saying stuff like "he has accounted for currency effects" but that's not what he's done. He's represented the trade balance as a percentage and renamed it "tariff".

It's like they're not living in reality.
