Rules:

Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

You’re still wrong.

I am informed. You are not. That was immediately obvious due to your dumb question, which is why I started probing you.

And nice “no u”. But you keep forgetting you haven’t made a single valid point in this entire discussion.

You can’t admit it and you’re just too arrogant for your own intelligence. Donald fucking Trump would have made a better discussion partner. I have become dumber with every comment you’ve made.

I am informed.

reading clickbait headlines isn't being informed.

You wouldn't notice one of it hit you in the face. Except maybe if it came with a clickbait headline.

If you think the official title of a report by the Kiel Institute is a clickbait headline you really have bigger fish to fry than this discussion.

You wouldn't notice one of it hit you in the face.

You’re really not capable of independent thought are you? Just parroting whatever you heard, like for example:

You really couldn’t recognize a bad faith argument if it hit you in the face because they are all you’ve got.

See, these are examples of similar statements. Just like the ones I showed you. Putting on a sour face and going “nah uh! You’re stupid!” won’t change that.

But as I said before: good talk my man! Good to see you haven’t lost your entertainment value. Is circus clown a job you could see yourself doing? I bet you’d be great!

So you base your arguments on a quote of Von der Leyen, articles by business Insider and CNN and whatnot, neither of which support your dumbass take. But suddenly they're not good enough, because you've been called out on your bullshit, and you reference a mysterious previous headline by the Kiel institute that you never even linked?

please do link the Kiel institute articles from the past that have non clickbait headlines that show that we've been "hearing this constantly since 2022"

See, these are examples of similar statements

Go sue me for copyright infringement, since you seem to have come up with that phrase all by yourself and totally didn't steal it
