Call me stupid but I don’t understand what it is you’re arguing.

That it is a well-known fact that Radio Free Asia is a branch of the USA's government that exists to smear the USA's geopolitical rivals.

if they ever answer, it’ll be dismissive about how all western media is biased against china/nk/Russia. That’s as close to an explanation of “why it’s fake” as you’ll get.

Look through the modlog for Removed Comments. The answers kesucay is removing talk about how it's a CIA-linked org with staff appointed by Washington.

Don't fret about any 'background checks'.

They say "do you believe in god yes/no" and "are you conspiring to overthrow the government yes/no" with a bored look on their face. They're obliged to ask this because of traditional rules. It is a box-ticking.

I feel like most have misunderstood the point of the question, they offer to use newpipe, yt-dlp and the like, but those aren’t private, they just allow you to watch without signing in, just as you could through the official website with maybe uBlock origin, you’re still exposing your IP.

This implies invidious and piped hide your IP address, which I'm not sure is true.

Most EU countries weren't in the Axis.

Search 'freemason hall [city]' if you don't believe me: it's all out in the open.

I passed the background checks and I am just a turtle on a skateboard.

The halls are visible to the public. Our friends and family know we are Masons. We have registered charities and bank accounts. The only real secrets are the passwords and handshakes.

my experience has been that don’t appreciate agnostics and pagans in there midsts.

my experience is contrary to this. Few people really believe in religion in 2024, it's not like the pious times in which the rites originated.

In practice, you don't have to believe in god to be a mason. Although that rule is still around.

That is another misconception. The ceremonies are in books and on the internet. The only real secret is the means-of-identification.
