        Past post you have argued that the Uyghurs genocide is a hoax and tiananmen square was a false flag operation made up by the west.

        In this post, you use opinion pieces, pro-russia voices, and single sources multiple times. You ae a straw man.

        Go back to arguring for Jill Stein for president or how pete heagseth is tell the truth about Ukraine.

          pro-russia voices

          You are begging the question.

          1. Russian voices are full of shit.
          2. This person said something that Russians have also said.
          3. This person is a Russian voice.
          4. This person is full of shit.

           
          If Hitler said the sky is blue, would that make it not blue? Relatedly, Philosophy professor Hans-Georg Moeller explains the worrisome new German concept of the “Versteher”, or “understander”.

          Go back to arguring for Jill Stein for president or how pete heagseth is tell the truth about Ukraine.

          I never argued for anyone to vote for Stein, and I don’t even know what Hegseth has to say about Ukraine. You must listen to him more than me.

              Not a straw man: you did indeed use “pro-Russia voices” as a bullshit dismissal.

          Ah yes, the invisible genocide that’s totally taking place with no evidence despite supposedly occurring in a region that saw 300 million tourists last year. Who’s source is one evangelical crank who’s never even been there, and the story of which is spread endlessly by the US, the biggest known liar country who is currently engaging in a real genocide and spent a year lying about that too.

          I totally believe it.
