Eh, I knew you were gonna come up with some low-hanging bullshit.

circulating lies and propaganda about the people we’re told to hate

Oh yeah? Quote me. Specify the targeted people and what I said about them. You got one chance.

But that's literally what you did. Cope.

Ex dee, dude. And I can cite an entire conversation of you misreading into a comment and running with it like a chicken with its head cut off. Then dropping a quiz inside a word salad, all the while being perfectly obnoxious about it. How's that for citing shit from this thread?

Whatever pretense you had about rigor, it just went out the window.

I came across this:

Does anyone know if this is related to this void we seem to be in, and if it's promising at all? The connection to OP's post is that I'm thinking this void was observed via redshift and this new thinking could change our understanding of our place in the universe as much closer to everything than it appears.

You wanted to time travel? We'll give you time travel. 14th century, baby, here we go!

And you say that because you've clearly read my entire comment history and have reached a sound conclusion based on clear evidence that you can cite, right? Totally not being hypocritical, overreaching, dramatic, rude, and a little bit desperate to make one final jab, huh.

only “accidentally falling into the trap” of supporting Bill Gates

It's like I say things and they don't even register. I'm so done with you trying to pull shit shit by arguing in bad faith and rehashing what was already said. I've been consistent in my answers and now you're doing some other shit. I can't with you Lemmings sometimes.

If you need clarification, I probably already gave it and you took it some other way. Go have fun with someone else.

Yes, because you were perfectly happy/capable of giving one before:

That's a guiding principle at best, bud.

perfectly happy/capable
Having a stronger/more rigorous definition would help you with communicating your ideas [...]

Cut the sass and the condescending tone.

including a certain ‘argumentative gremlin’, to perceive that as meaning “so long as it doesn’t contradict my existing worldview”.

And that is not my problem if I've already clarified but you two are too hung up on details rather than substance and running off on ridiculous tangents. You can take it or leave it and I don't care either way. I'm done with this pedantic argument over definitions over minutia that I really dgaf about.

So all this bull aside, and I'll reiterate to cover my bases, my overarching point is: Don't underplay a regime and make them seem more reasonable than they are by whitewashing history, whether intentionally or not. Sorry if you need further clarification, but I find that self-evident.

Have a good one.

The bunch of sheletered idiot worry about their little games

This you?

It takes huge balls to go around calling people stupid only to miss the entire point yourself. Terrible troll, honestly.

Your reply doesn't really follow the conversation. This is tangential to the main thread. We're talking about how we present and defend information as a meta commentary on these threads, and not how the egging on of an invasion of a totalitarian country upsets some folks.

Also, did you just make an account to participate in this thread? Your account is brand spankin'.

"I should be able to say whatever I want about this country, true or not, and if people push back, they're accidentally licking boots"

Who is saying that?? 😅 If you in the process of clarifying something start overreaching in the wrong direction, you're giving them leeway they don't deserve. It's simple, dude. I've seen it happen with people denying and downplaying horrible shit. Just like you want people to not overstate their actions, I don't want people understating them either as I've seen some people do, on purpose (or not), or as I put it, "accidentally [... unless?]" That's the tongue-in-cheek part because, precisely, how do you accidentally do it? There might be intent behind it, we don't know. We are in the middle of an information trying to push people a certain way and these corners of the internet are quite happy with playing for Russia & friends.

That's the whole reason I'm telling you that I agree with you and that we're fucking splitting hairs by coming at it from opposite sides.

Loved the absurd tangent though, but I guess we need laser focus and surgical precision when it's my turn to answer, huh.
