Get this - one of them asked me to provide sources for my claims. As if that wasn't bad enough, when I googled and posted the first four links I saw without reading them, they actually clicked on the links and went through each of them point-by-point and explained how none of them provide credible support my position.
At that point it was clear that it wasn't possible to have any sort of reasonable conversation with them, so I just did the usual and called them a bot, then made a thread where I made up a story about them defending Pol Pot and said they were worse than fascists.
Source? Um, have you seen all those headlines from the past two years?
No, stop! Don't analyze the text! Just glance and internalize the narrative.
I sent them the wikipedia for tianamen square and they told me wikipedia wasn't an acceptable source! Then they linked me something and I said I had already read that they told me I was lying because it was the unabombers manifesto (incredibly bad faith to lie like that!) then they sent me a 1.5 hour long video "debunking" the claims about china and I said I wasn't gonna watch that they sent me a picture with a pig with poop on it's balls and called me a fascist for misgendering them! They're completely unserious
The real play here is to scroll down to the bottom and see how many sources are cited in the article, and then say, "I provided 90 sources that prove I'm right and they still deny it!"
How unreasonable, just because all of your sources were just quoting shit Adrian Zenz made up for his God-given crusade against the evil CCP
Quoting zenz? That's almost a primary source. These dorks don't know who that is.
What you're gonna see them do is quote an article that reports about reporting done by Radio Free Asia about the work of a scientist (if you do enough searching you'll then figure out they're talking about Zenz)
One of my favorite "arguing with lemmyverse libs" posts of all time was something like "If I ctrl-f 'Zenz' in your sources how many hits will I get?" It was from @OBJECTION@lemmy.ml
Lmao. I know robinn (don't know his current @) has had quite a few takedowns like that too
That was my alt actually
So it was! Well done, excellent posting.
