The gracious A+Bert called me a communist.

That’s it?

He must have been in a good mood.

Some of the racism is probably frustration over race baiting and a push back with reality checks about race-hustler narratives. Since those don’t originate here, I don’t believe it’s a problem of low standards on FR, just perhaps that some posting do not realize that outsiders reading FR will not pick up subtle nuances.

As for the pro-Russia stuff, here again it’s being caused by frustration with the globo-homo agenda not being challenged by most mainstream politicians, so any kind of opposition, even Putin’s mad misadventure, is seen as better than globalism, and it’s at least worth an open discussion, perhaps it is true that nothing is worse than the “agenda” of the UN, WEF and crowd.

I am a big believer that robust free speech, even where it steers close to out and out insults and obnoxious rhetoric, is always better than the alternative of turning off one’s mind entirely and swallowing what “experts” tell us to swallow. If we don’t allow for robust exchanges of opinion, we won’t get near the truth, and we will become brainwashed sleepwalking robots. And that’s what the powers-that-be want us to become.

I wouldn’t leave here because somebody offended me or insulted me. That would just surrender high ground to unworthy adversaries. Ignore such trolls and seek out a more authentic set of companions. We aren’t always as well informed on given subjects as we like to think, and being exposed to a wider range of opinions can help avoid the dangers involved in being too set in one’s opinions.
