Well that was a dumb question then, just post the source if you have one and we’ll go from there

Where will we go from there?

Would it develop once we get there, perhaps, that anything negative about the CCP automatically gets discounted as "biased" or not "reliable" and you would retreat into a landscape where you'll accept any reliable source, anything at all that isn't corrupted, but where you refuse under any circumstances to identify what those sources could look like, or which of them seem to have established a pretty solid track record of being grounded in reality, because of what unpleasant truths might be revealed from the same sources you had admitted might have something relevant to say?

Like I say, this isn't my first time having this conversation lol. I knew in advance that you would refuse to admit what might be reliable sources on my side, keeping the power and privilege solely for yourself to determine what is a legitimate source and making your arguments on that unequal playing field and only there. As soon as you admit that something might be factual or trustworthy that doesn't correspond with your preexisting biases, the whole game falls apart.

Based on the sub, the post, my first comment, the content of your reply and your unironic use of tankie I assumed you have anti-PRC bias, but if I’m wrong I’m wrong

Okay, so you don't know what I believe, or where I got my ideas. Apology accepted. Progress! Try not to come out of the gate with wild haymaker strawmen in the future, it'll make your conversations a lot more two-sided (although without admitting that someone else might be able to point to real facts you don't like because they contain "bias," it'll still be pretty limited how far it will go).

It was a legitimate protest that was taken over by foreign influence (CIA) and enflamed to the point where people began murdering unarmed PLA soldiers.

Oh, wow. Murder. Well, we can't have that. That is terrible. Of course,

I don’t agree with what some soldiers then did and its terrible that innocent people died.

Oh, wow. Innocent people died. Passive voice. What a fucking tragedy. Of course no one wants that kind of thing to happen.

You gotta get a desk at the NYT helping cover Gaza, I think they'd really appreciate your self-reflection and accountability on this topic.

It’s something the PRC has expressed regret about and is working to move past it with it’s people. You won’t find that kind of self-reflection and accountability in the West.

Oh, wow. Where did they issue their public statement of regret and self-reflection about it? I must have missed their clear expression of responsibility for the killings.
