Someone did it on r/privatelife, I removed it after notifying users for few hours, showing its annual $300K NED grants on NED website.

Socialists will understand this problem more deeply.

    If you explain why the source isn’t trustable, that’ll work for some people. But the people who wanna shout “but china bad” at the mear mention of it will just ignore that. So, ultimately - and unfortunate as it may be - this is one of the things that a hard stance must be taken on, and will likely be disrupting to your community. I.E. you’re gonna have to remove any and all posts with these sources, and possibly ban users who repeatedly try to use these sources.

      I am considering taking that stance, as I know my world history and facts pretty well. It is simply wrong to not stand for the right thing because brainwashed mob wants you to stand for the wrong thing. Ideals are essential.
