Go wild with it. I really don't feel like having to rehash the conversation that pops up a couple times a year anyway when some lib comes in complaining about falun gong claims and we gotta go into how it's projection of what Israel does to Palestinians and the US does to their poor.

Subjecting people to this is still beyond the pale though, and it shows nonprofit having a skewed incentive structure. But pat_riot's objections are just as valid here.

Either it's a good enough for a starting off point for people to look more into or they're just gonna give the response Keld gave here. Regardless, I'm done with it. Y'all take care.
