Screw the internet points. Even when I was using Reddit, I use Ublock Origin to block the karma point next to username top right, no point, no distraction.
Here's the more formal source

Some more context:
Footage from a documentary titled The Gate of Heavenly Peace shows an interview between Chai Ling (student leader in the Tianamen Square Incident) and reporter Philip Cunningham a week prior to the protest.
In the footage, Chai makes the following statements:
-
Chai Ling: All along I've kept it to myself, because being Chinese I felt I shouldn't bad-mouth the Chinese. But I can't help thinking sometimes – and I might as well say it – you, the Chinese, you are not worth my struggle! You are not worth my sacrifice! What we (the protestors) actually are hoping for is bloodshed, the moment when the government is ready to brazenly butcher the people.
-
Cunningham: "Are you going to stay in the Square yourself?
-
Chai Ling: "No."
-
Cunningham: "Why?"
-
Chai Ling: "Because my situation is different. I want to live. Anyway, that's how I feel about it. I don't know if people will say I'm selfish. I believe that people have to continue the work I have started. A democracy movement can't succeed with only one person. I hope you don't report what I've just said for the time being, okay?"
The footage has been verified by third-party media specialists as genuine, and is readily available online.
Chai Ling, or the biggest hypocritical scumbag ever.
I don't have anyone or communities blocked though :shrug:
Rules for thee, but not for me.
Same. Also notes that I see "2 more replies" below Jonathan12345's comment. Clicking it results in loading infinitely. The link "2 more replies" disappears after I make this comment replying to Jonathan12345.
How can pointing out violent supression and the killing of peaceful demonstrators possibly not be informative?
It's not peaceful when PLAs were burnt/killed.
At least hammer and sickle has a present in Russia.
It's the US who has the most say in whether this will end. This conflict pulls the EU from cheap resources from Russia, now EU rely more on US, whether it's resources or military. Especially military since they now have a big bear to fear from, US military industrial oligarchs are making banks from this. You keep provoking the bear, probing the red lines step by step, then there's no wonder there are consequences. Buffer zone/state existed in history for a reason and it still stands to this day.
Analysis from benefits point, asking question like who profit or benefit the most ?. This will help you step out of the propaganda and misinformation from both sides and think for yourself.
Write some paragraphs explaining your case. The length about the same as @CriticalResist8 . No, half would do, or even a third, with extra points for sources. Then your post would be taken more seriously.
o7. Please break paragraphs.
We should have something similar to the sidebar of /r/sino
