Does the fact that you are posting about this “cover up” under an article discussing such an attack cause any neurons in that brain of yours to fire?

Very good point. To be honest, I haven’t paid much attention to this story but maybe I should.

Why would you need to be famous to ignore social media?

No, I’d rather see them abolished. But they do exist, and allowing the US or Europe to decide which ones are acknowledged is a big problem in today’s world.

People who exercise their own autonomy should have that autonomy acknowledged. Full stop. Pretending it doesn’t exist is harmful, even if that autonomy is being used to hurt people.

Not recognizing states that obviously exist is extremely silly.

So all of these answers have some truth to them, but they are also missing a key factor. The heritage foundation exists because they are paid tons of money by billionaires to sit around and come up with ways to strengthen their dominance over society. The left simply doesn’t have many supporters with that level of wealth. While it’s possible to do this on a voluntary basis it’s a lot harder than getting paid to do it.
