here is the argument
this is a strawman. I never said I'd want to ignore anything. You brought that up and tried to fight me for it. That is literally the meaning of a strawman. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Straw_man
So no, you're trying to push red scare and that is at best naive or at worst deliberate antisocialist propaganda.
You literally said ignore those about genocide lol that's you... quoting yourself. I called you out on it... ROFL
I did not and I explained it well. This is going nowhere. You're going on the blocklist. Bye.
You are doing the tankie thing again.
Feel free to elaborate.
I regard you as a bad faith debater. You just blocked a guy for pointing out your own words. So there's really nothing to add. My words would be wasted. You seem to have no real concept of a conversation. Feel free to block everyone else too. It doesn't hurt anyone.
Why then even say something? The other person was dealing in bad faith themselves. I pointed out in good faith that it is okay to criticize china but its not okay to reduce someone solely on their former deeds. Its the same as calling germany a nazi shithole (but that is becoming increasingly true) today just because of the holocaust.
I blocked them because they were repeating themselves and being condescending, which i encourage everyone to do because debate isnt just being right but also being fair.
