This is the place to be @Graylan | gray00

@Groot has most of the answers

fire away @Graylan | gray00 what's on your mind?

Lol

i grew up in a place really liberal and consider myself liberal for many years but i dont really see the whole picture of the current version of liberalism. it seems it's become a way to attack others and rally around the cancel culture

Key word @Ron Ward "most"

@Notsoperfect does the interrogatories

so im searching for alt viewpoints on liberalism and conservatism

🔦

ok

Well.. you are welcome to bring any topic or ask questions ect.. lots of people come and go in this chat room all day long

what do yall think about china

Raises hand... @Graylan | gray00 , I too was a democrat and liberal as you say...I walked away from a democrat political family in Washington and I voted for Trump in 2016 and am glad I did

as in the government or the people?

the CCP

Woo hoo you ranked up @Graylan | gray00

Bad juju there in China

well ive been having some problems

Brb

i develop code and build global networks, china always rouge bots roaming and the chinese botnets grow

seems a lil weird to me. you dont see it from anywhere else, not even russia

I don't think that it is too surprising .. as china is quite a threat to the US on a number of levels

so my question is if china blocks off the access to our internet why tf are they coming into our networks on special IPs and messing with our stuff

Well that all changed in '90 when USSR fell, China filled a void w/ real $

and generally being a leftie previously i see a lot of chinese influence coming into the west

ill give you an example
