    Happy to fill my brain with this good news if you can provide any source

    Makes a declaration with no substance, is refuted, asks for a source.

    What’s your .ml/hexbear account?

            Honestly, I’m sort of just angry at .mlers so I didn’t even really think here — I just accused.

            I should probably reign in my stigma towards them, it isn’t productive. Thanks.

              You should also get some political education. Hating ‘tankies’ so much you confuse a liberal for a tankie has a lot of Republican ‘anyone to the left of hunting people for sport is a communist, every demoncrat is a communist’ energy.

                Oh I don’t doubt I should be more careful, being blind isn’t productive.

                That being said, I’m not going to be re-vealuating my opinion on tankies at this time. While I admit I jumped the gun and made a mistake, that doesn’t somehow open the door to supporting Xi and Putin.

                  and Putin

                  I think, you still need some political education. Russia is, in some ways, more capitalist that America is.

                    The fact that you say this as if it’s a net positive is baffling.

                    As I stated, I will not be re-evaluating my opinion on tankies at this time.

      Buddy, you claimed, with no source, that there are protests twice a month. I am giving you the benefit of the doubt but would like some evidence of your claim

        No, no — see you made the declaration that no protests are happening. Do you understand what the burden of proof means? You made the declaration, they refuted it using 0 sources because you didn’t provide any sources for your claims.

        Because you don’t have any.

        Edit: oh, I looked into the protests they mentioned — they’re absolutely happening, so not only do they not need to provide sources because you are arguing in bad faith, they don’t need to because what they’re saying is true.

          … and again no evidence of these biweekly protests that are totally happening
