    Dude, the link you posted is literally of a high budget video from fucking Al Jazeera criticizing media companies being owned by for profit companies. Al Jazeera, literally run by goddamn Qatar as a fucking propaganda front. Also, mind watching the video and telling me where Noam Chomsky is actually quoted? Because it doesn’t quote him - it paraphrases him in order to use his words to criticize the west.

    Like, holy fucking shit - I’m not linking to the fucking NY Times here (a company that, by your definition, absolutely puts profit before facts) - I’m criticizing people who argue in bad faith because they hold views against certain people. And you respond by literally posting a propaganda piece from the fucking Qataris. You are literally the thing you purport to condemn.

    I believe in rational discourse, so I’ll avoid using terms that are deragotory, but down votes aside I believe my original point still stands; and that your response is a perfect example of the aforementioned gish gallop: your links are bullshit, your YouTube videos are literal propaganda trash, and you’re just saying what you’re saying because “hurr durr 'Murica bad”.

    I actually agree with you on the latter point, but not to the degree that I would support regimes that literally have fucking slaves build their cities. Cordially: go fuck yourself.
