   @augustus @hakui @noyoushutthefuckupdad I wonder if the chans will hold or cave.
   
   Reddit caved in 2016. I mean they were already kind of cucked, but they got a whole lot more cucked.
   
   I'm fairly certain that FaceGoog will pull something big.

      @hakui @noyoushutthefuckupdad @augustus Also did you notice the US are going to make RT register as a foreign agent?

         @ayy @hakui @noyoushutthefuckupdad @augustus they should do the same for the New York Times.

            @awg @hakui @noyoushutthefuckupdad @augustus I'm not offended on behalf of Russia if that's what you think. I don't care about how bad it must make RT feel.
            What I do care about is Americans' rights to read foreign sources. Their right to make up their own mind. What I fear is that they will get a less informed worldview.
            
            When a regime bans foreign sources I believe that is done to assert control over the populace. That's my concern.

               @ayy @hakui @noyoushutthefuckupdad @augustus I completely concur.
               
               I was simply suggesting if they're going to try to moderate RT, they ought to be consistent with their definition of "foreign agent" and register the NYT.

                  @awg @hakui @noyoushutthefuckupdad @augustus Oh I thought you meant Russia should retaliate. Why should NYT be registered? American Ochs-Sulzberger clan seems to be the ones in charge?

                     @ayy @hakui @noyoushutthefuckupdad @augustus they would never be registered, of course.  but apart from NYT running an agenda that rarely seems to align with the better interests of most of the USA, they barely conceal the fact that they moonlight as a PR apparatus for Israel.  propaganda is still propaganda.

                        @ayy let me clarify my statement by saying that I think it's fine if a publisher takes a pro-Israel stance.  but that's not my problem with them.  @hakui @noyoushutthefuckupdad @augustus
