Looks like tankies and bots are working overtime.
Nice Ad hominem, how about you actually engage with the argument instead of retreating to the liberal psychosis of the "Everyone Who Disagrees With Me Is A Robot" conspiracy?
Nice ad hominem. How about saying that to those in Uyghur concentration camps.
??? Your comment is an actual ad hominem, do you not know what the words you use mean? An ad hominem is not just "when someone insults you" it is when someone dismisses the argument presented based on the perceived value of the character of the person making the argument - As you did when you failed to engage with the actual argument given and instead talked about some psychotic "bots and tankies". You have to actually present an argument in order to for me to hit you with an ad hominem, which you've failed to do, which is what I pointed out.
Now you then also go on and move the goalposts. You and I have not discussed whatever it is you're trying to discuss, in fact we're discussing your failure to engage with someone who did discuss that with you. So why would I want to? You've so far shown you're completely incapable.
'Awww look at me, I'm so full of decorum! Why won't you debate with me: a not bad faith actor!"
Why am I seeing this idiotic tactic lately from obvious wumaos? It's obviously not a coincidence. How about telling Xi not to inflict ad hominem to Uyghurs.
Yeah man, I'm all decorum, that's why I'm pointing out what a dipshit you are. I'm not even trying to debate you, you idiot. I'm trying to get you to stop being the laziest variant of a redditor possible.
Everyone Who Disagrees With Me Is A Filthy Foreigner
I don't know him, but if I did I would if he were doing that, but he isn't, so I wouldn't, if I knew him. How about reading the actual report? How about looking into anything beyond what you pick up through cultural osmosis in your racist echochamber?
Oh right, of course you you don't know Xi. You are a small fish getting small crumbs.
(Dude this thread is 3 days old)
And people are still commenting
What an erudite rebuttal. You sure disproved what I said with the absolutely no information you provided.
I assume the fact that you didn't actually address either point is due to the fact that you know what instead dnwas correct and you're salty your cable news talking heads haven't given you the right talking points to get around that?
Yeah, you clearly don't have any actual rebuttal. I'd guess that you know I'm right and it pisses you off, so you're lashing out. But I really don't care very much. If your next response doesn't actually address anything I've said, then you can fuck off to the block list and everyone who reads this later can know for absolutely certain that you agree I'm right, you just hate that fact.
That's about what I expected from someone who frequents "TankieJerk". If your comm has a "no right wingers" rule immediately above a clarification that Liberals are ok, then you don't understand fuckign anything about politics well enough that anyone should take your opinion seriously.
Gonna block you now, kiddo. I've given you more than enough space to ensure nobody will think you have a point. Especially since you're so incredibly bad at reading comprehension you can't tell a USian from a Russian on the Internet.
But for the record:
Is a hilarious response when you started the shit and provided no actual substance at all.
"I am so totally not acting on bad faith with all these bad faith attempt to seeking for "debate". All genocides are bad except the ones from the team I support. I am totally anti-colonial and anti-imperialist, see!"
