It is their fault. They lost an argument only to whine about me and others in another thread (after willfully ignoring my response to their points) and now they say they “don’t have a lot of time” when asked to read, that’s textbook bad faith cowardice. This person you’re responding to, JohnDclay, is the asshole lib from the 500 response thread.

I’m trying to talk in good faith, but I don’t have 10 hours to read about it. I’ve only researched about 1 or 2 hours. But I’m definitely not just taking your website at face value.

Right, so you didn’t read my carrd and then linked a different source instead (super good faith) that I completely refuted (apparently you felt no need to respond to my complete rebuttal]. So you didn’t read the comment or the response to your rebuttal, and yet you’re saying you’re acting in good faith because you don’t have a lot of time/haven’t done a lot of research? Whatever, then don’t act like you’re qualified to have an opinion.

But I’m definitely not just taking your website at face value.

What does this even mean? “Face value”? It’s a collection of sources. Seriously, if you don’t have the knowledge to even respond to my points, much less my complete refutation of your own points, don’t ghost respond to me acting like I’ve said something crazy to get support in another thread. It’s cowardly and pathetic.

- Confidential cable from U.S. gov. embassy in Beijing showing US knew there was no firing in the square
- Hou Dejian, one of the leaders of the Tiananmen protests, saying he was in the square all night and saw no one killed](youtu.be/VSR9zgY1QgU)
- Clearance of the Tiananmen Square on June 4, 1989
- CBS News correspondent: There Was No “Tiananmen Square Massacre”**
** “Constitutively and pathologically unable to simply own up to a past journalistic crime, the propaganda apparatus merely substitutes a new lie for the old one. The official death toll according to the Chinese government is, in fact, a matter of public record: Beijing Municipality has checked and double-checked all the figures from the Martial Law Command, the Public Security Ministry, the Chinese Red Cross, all institutions of higher education, and all major hospitals. These show that 241 people died. They included 23 officers and soldiers from the martial law troops and 218 civilians. The 23 military deaths included 10 from the PLA and 13 from the People’s Armed Police. The 218 civilians (Beijing residents, people from elsewhere, students, and rioters) included 36 students from Beijing universities and 15 people from outside Beijing.” [link]

This was not a “massacre” but a riot in which police and PLA soldiers were killed as well as civilians/rioters, as proven by the peaceful evacuation of the square and degeneration of the situation thereof.

What is extremism? Large deviation from the status quo. What is the status quo? Well it’s perfectly fine for people to defend the U.S. despite it being the inspiration for Nazi Germany; it’s perfectly fine for people to defend NATO despite its support for Nazis/fascism [1] [2] [3] and its terrorization of the third world; it’s perfectly alright to defend the “democratic” bombing and starvation of Afghans by the U.S.; it’s right in the realm of acceptable opinion to love cops as they kill ~1,000 poor and black people and brutalize their families; it’s respectable to justify sanctions to starve people in Cuba and the DPRK; so on and so forth, these are the realm of acceptable opinion. It is okay to oppose some of these things lightly of course, but total opposition is too extreme, and you are met with the nonsense of “extremes on both sides.” Nevermind that equivocating Nazism with left “extremism” (even in the most drastic cases) is recognized as a form of Holocaust denial, centrism can never be challenged.

You argue Hexbear users should be treated the same as Nazis? Very well, then Hexbear users can roam free and comments saying Hexbear users are bad should be deleted. This is your instance lmao. Get better arguments.
