Global News
What is global news?
Something that happened or was uncovered recently anywhere in the world. It doesn't have to have global implications. Just has to be informative in some way.
Post guidelines
Title format
Post title should mirror the news source title.
URL format
Post URL should be the original link to the article (even if paywalled) and archived copies left in the body. It allows avoiding duplicate posts when cross-posting.
[Opinion] prefix
Opinion (op-ed) articles must use [Opinion] prefix before the title.
Country prefix
Country prefix can be added to the title with a separator (|, :, etc.) where title is not clear enough from which country the news is coming from.

It's a bold rhetorical strategy Cotton lol, let's see if it turns the readers around to their point of view
Honestly I couldn't even really make sense of what you were trying to say, I don't think I hallucinated anything aside from my own confusion. I do think there is a powerful analogy at work here though. "Gothenberg" as you are calling her (I think? him? what? anyway), when she saw that the organization that was "officially in charge" of forward progress wasn't really upholding the values, just left them to whatever their bullshit was, and continued fighting directly for change (as part of that organization), because that's what's important. Some other people in contrast when they see that the DNC is a bunch of horse manure dressed up in expensive suits, start SCREAMING about how Democrats are the worst and forward progress has to start with attacking them at every turn.
First strategy makes sense to me. Second one not so much. Like I say, be like Greta.
Just because you are definitely wrong, doesn’t make it OK for you to just hallucinate and pretend that you’re delusional are real

I know you're not supposed to engage with the trolls but I feel like he might legitimately not be ok
