They start very early in the morning (around 9am in Eastern Europe) every day posting, always about Palestine, half the time about how it's all Democrats' fault. They have never called out Republicans for anything. Almost a year of post history doing this. See modlog for their many bans for posting misinformation.
First of all, what the fuck? And second of all, i don’t see why republicans should be brought up when democrats do something wrong. You are using whataboutism to justify… checks notes vetoing an investigation into war crimes and genocide. I don’t see any call to action to vote Republican here. If democrat actors don’t want to be called out for hypocritical evil, then they should not do evil and be hypocritical about it.
I was calling for Biden to step down from the election over how he handled Israel/Palestine, and i was right to do so! You don’t get a free pass to genocide because someone else would have done it harder, or because it happened to some ancestor.
I figured you were a bad faith arguer, now I know for sure. Good job ignoring the facts I presented. Thank God for tags
Facts? Ignore? I didn’t ignore them. I dismissed them. You claimed that he posts at what would be 9am in eastern Europe. I assume you are alluding to russia? Ok? I post at 11:00 at night sometimes too. And it’s irrelevant. Anyone can call out our blatant hypocrisy.
As for the claim i am not arguing in good faith … are you?! You seem to be Dutch Ruddering with ~~givesomefucks~~ chronostriggerwarrning. You claim the OP is pro harming Palestine because he… is upset that a Biden official was ordered to block an investigation into Israel’s obvious genocide of Palestinians…. And then declare here is a plant who is trying to back… Trump, who’s stance is to show Israel “how its really done”. You know that makes you sound deranged, yea?
I had to look up what this weird shit even is. Uh, so yeah, I'm totally sexually gratifying someone who just banned me for calling out the fraud.
Well you are right in that i got the wrong rudder mate. I meant to say chronostriggerwarning, not givesomefucks. Givesomefucks at least had an argument. You on the other hand avoid arguments like the plague. You refuse to make one, and you refuse to argue against one. And at this point I’m going to make the assumption thats because your position is untenable.
If I addressed every bad faith argument, it would be an 80 hour a week job.
Do you even know what an argument is?
I never made an argument, bad faith or otherwise. You committed an ad hominem attack on the OP, refused to argue against any of his points. Then did repeated cringe high fives with your rudder mate.
The only thing i did was call you out for doing so, by asking for justification for why you are attacking the character of the OP. If you want to claim that request is too burdensome, that’s fine by me, as that’s a reflection on your character, and was what i was highlighting in the first place. So well done on that.
This is a bad faith argument alone. It's a way of dismissing a valid concern about a person's long history of doing something. You're pretending I have to re-prove it every time someone says I do but I'm under zero obligation to be sealioned.
No, what you did was text book ad hominem attack. In the literal sense. The only way to revert that is to justify why the character of the OP is important to his argument. Which you never successfully did. You alluded that he could be a Russian plant, that’s why he’s against Biden, because of the time he posts.
If you had, say evidence that he posted on conservative instances in a way that is pro trump…. Or pro Israel… or what have you… it still would not make the argument he made invalid. And you would still be guilty of an ad hominem attack.
The argument that Biden directed a veto preventing the investigation into Israel is fact and is damning in its own, even if made by a supposed trumper.
I don't care. The source of info is relevant, as are their clear ulterior motives.
How? How is it relevant?
Is it not true that Biden directed the Vetos?
Is it not true that after Vetoing investigation into genocide, calling on others to act on the charge of stopping others from feeling the hell that is war, is hypocritical?
Then it’s not a bad faith argument. They could have ulterior motives for making it, but it’s still 100% true. And it’s especially bad when your evidence for this ad hominem attack is as piss poor as what time he posts.
