    And I’m sure you’re not biased at all…

    There are users from all instances that do that. The fact some do it is not evidence of anything, one way or the other. However, I was arguing with someone from one of the two about Xi Jinping being from the political class, not the working class, and their “evidence” otherwise was that he lived in a cave when he was a child. They ignored the fact the reason he lived in a cave was because his father was a politician who lost political favor, and it wasn’t some random cave, it was a building constructed of a cave.

    It’s all willful ignorance of fact if you can’t find fault with any government. If you support anything, you should be looking for how to criticize it, not how to tell other people that there aren’t issues. How else would you improve it. I don’t trust anyone who won’t admit any fault in the thing they’re defending, and especially anyone who chooses to tie their identity to that thing.

      Leading off with a thought terminating cliche when confronted by your ideological cohorts’ dependence on thought terminating cliches is quite a flex

        Just calling out the thought terminating cliche is, ironically, a thought terminating cliche as well. I didn’t only include that in my comment, you just (expectedly) ignored the rest. The fact you had nothing meaningful to say is enough. My comment was much more then pointing out your point of origin (as in instance). Your comment was nothing.

          Okay dummy in a completely flat world without any context you’re TECHNICALLY correct but in this world we’re talking about you calling people whose opinions and references challenge your worldview bots so stfu you lazy dishonest dipshit

          It’s gratifying that you’re upset at getting (rightfully) bullied because that means it’s working and your behavior will eventually adjust. Either by shutting up or by engaging in good faith. Either way we win. stalin-approval

            Can’t argue with anything I said so you just insult. Expected, once again, but disappointing.

            Either by shutting up or by engaging in good faith.

            Engage in what in good faith? You haven’t made any arguments. You only say “fallacy!” and act superior, without earning it.
