I mean, to be fair, you were kind of talking shit about their boss. It's a hard living, being a Tankie. You've got to wake up every day, look yourself in the mirror, and decide to continue whoring yourself out to authoritarian regimes by posting a picture of a pig pooping on its own balls on the internet and telling left wingers that they're fascist because they aren't supporting Russia's imperialist war.

to be honest, painting acupuncture as a way of CCP to take over the world is a reach. However, that doesn't warrant removal and even less a ban, and that's the tankie thing here

So disgusting. I'm glad I left that hellhole.

Yeah I don't buy into that conspiracy but it doesn't seem banworthy either.

Personally I've recently unsubbed and blocked all .ml communities

Ohh. I remember reading thet before the removal and ban. Idk of any other reason to be butthurt over that comment then if they are a tankie. Especially with all the other stuff that was called out. That was the, "what do you think is modern day snake oil" right?

Anything critical of CCP is met with a ban because rule 1.

Edit: even though the user has a stupid take.

If you say anything critical of CCP, anything at all, they'll delete the comment and purge the mod log. Same response if you say anything positive about the USA.

Their father was killed by a liberal acupuncture needle, okay.

Iirc, acupuncture was shown to be good at relieving pain, and basically nothing else.

Don't agree with the take, but shouldn't have been removed either way.

I am almost 18 years old, I've been dealing with chronic pain before I even started my teen years. Started out with just Chiari 1 Malformation, now it's spine/spinal cord deterioration, arthritis, nerve damage, and apparently having a dislocated shoulder previously???? All of this on top of my main brain condition.

It's been a minute since I've been to an acupuncturist because my family is often busy, but I seriously do feel that although temporary, helped a large portion of my back pain and headaches. It has done what some seriously powerful prescriptions could not. I go to someone local in my area, in Texas, and I just can't see how this is somehow linked to the CCP?

I get acupressure (cupping) done more often, cause we have a set at home, and that too has helped a good chunk of my pain. I don't give a shit at this point if it's placebo or not, I felt relief, and that's all I give a shit about on the matter.
