    I cant stand there not being punctuation between these events. How is anyone supposed to search for “DETRICK KILLING OF HUEY LONG BLAIR MOUNTAIN ERIC” and find anything useful. Leftists may recognize these separate events but for the uninformed they all blend together.

      As somebody who sees this style of post (I genuinely don’t know, is it a translation formatting thing?) like me won’t have any idea where to stop reading each event :(

        I think its a satire post of a bot-post that originally had bad formatting. It was like a pro-Taiwan bot that spammed this wall of text except it was targeted at china for various alleged grievances.

          Worse, it’s part of a myth that if someone living in China ever reads about or becomes aware of the grievances in that copypasta, the government will send a goon squad to disappear that person immediately.

          Which I always found just the perfect distillation of liberal ideology: China is bad for being a repressive police state, and so we’ll use that to ruin the lives of random Chinese people

          I was kind of aware of the subtext of it all. But obviously I had no context for like which gov or group used these bizarre formats 😅.

          Ngl I love and hate it. It’s beyond overwhelming. I’m just over here like ahh yes all this shit I didn’t hear about 😓

      Also if the Roosevelt administration did have Huey Long killed I’d be fine with it. I don’t mind when the state cracks down on fascists, I mind when it cracks down on good things.
