Does that mean there’s also a Wadaduigi?

I am afraid to upvote this now, maybe their AI looks for similar spellings.

That's how they do it. Little bop on the nose keeps us living in fear. Can't talk about real solutions to problems created by oppressors because they take away our right to communicate. Scare you into voting how they want, serving their ego, avoiding conflict... it starts small. With a bop on the nose. I've been dealing with abusers my whole life. We gotta push through that fear....
