    Aren’t these threads wild? These people don’t want to engage in actual discussion here. They just want to remove your agency by calling you brainwashed, do the sealion “source” thing, and then ad hominem away any sources you do provide.

    I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again - the world deserves a better class of communist.

      It isn’t sealioning to expect a government or corporate news agency to provide strong citations when making contentious claims.

      Unlike when the liberals in this very thread accuse people of being brainwashed or paid shills, because then it is righteous!

      do the sealion “source” thing,

      lmao what dastardly trolls they are to care about sourcing

      and then ad hominem away any sources you do provide.

      Like you’d ever accept People’s Daily or whatever. The “tankies” need to mostly rely on liberal outlets because you will discard reporting out of China (etc.) out of hand.

      the world deserves a better class of communist.

      If we had a better class of communist, you’d hate them too because you’d believe everything you’re told about them, just like you do with the existing breeds.
