Ah yes a quora post that reads like a conspiracy theory with sources that point to other quora posts. This is why debunking qanon, flat earth and other such conspiracies is such a chore, no one ever has like one credible thing to point to, it's a spiderweb of events that usually don't properly connect but they all have massive documents that try to connect them anyways.

How to say you have poor reading comprehension without saying you have poor reading comprehension.

It's true: A really high IQ is required to fully comprehend conspiracy posts

I love how you keep referring to well documented facts as conspiracy theories. Really helps highlight the quality of your intellect.

[-] FluffyPotato@lemm.ee 0 points 1 year ago

There are plenty of well documented facts that seemingly support flat earth too and there are hundreds of similar schizo posts with those as that quara post but that doesn't make the earth flat.

Ooh quora, well known for it's sane and well researched investigative reporting lmao

[-] yogthos@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 year ago

The article literally links to dozens of mainstream western sources. I love how libs are invariably unable to actually engage with the content, and simply resort to ad hominem when faced with facts that run contrary to their narrative.

"Quora is not a good source" is not an ad hominem.

libs are invariably unable to actually engage with the content

This, however, is exactly that

[-] yogthos@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago

Dismissing the source because it's Quora without actually engaging with the content of the source which links to lots of primary sources, is in fact an example of ad hominem.

Pointing out that libs use this tactic however is not.
