you do not ask your opponent to find your sources in a debate

he just did @Perpetual Moral Imbalance wat r u gonna do about it?

call his mom gay

a lot of this seems to go to communist press 🤔

theres only 1 way he can come back from that one

and also say his opinion is invalid if he cannot cite sources

If he cannot provide sources then his statements become invalid.

jeez Louise it's almost as if cross-sourcing for the attempt to disguise a legitimacy is at hand here

@Perpetual Moral Imbalance Firstly, this isn't exactly a formal debate, and it's clear that the opposition doesn't know the first thing about "debate etiquette". Secondly, I've provided articles in defense of my position on a particular topic, and there are sources contained within said articles. When you're capable of doing things on your own without someone holding your little baby hand, then feel free to take a look at them.

scipio is correct

🅱erhaps

ok then it’s not challenging to point out the sources of those articles since clearly they’re nowhere to be sern

Fuck muslims

those "sources" only do so much as link to other opinion pieces lmao

Hello my friends

@Adoring Fan What isn't an opinion piece? The opinions of someone that agrees with you and reinforces your cognitive biases?

**Facts**

an opinion piece is an article with no factual source to support it

@Scipio Facts? Like Robert Conquest "facts"?

guys dont be so hard im looking through this pdf

it should have some sources

an opinion piece is me writing "the holocaust didn't happen because it couldn't possibly have". Evidence-based article would point to the fact that no document was signed to kill all jews. Unlike that, collectivization was a signed and legal program

Or the actual facts of someone that actually has a background in Sovietology and has personally worked with the source material contained within the Soviet Archives?

>sovietology

woke

appeal to authority

**Quick fact: Did you know concentration camps were first created and used by the British Empire in their war with the Zulus?**

talk about debate etiquette

@Adoring Fan Way to use that out of context, spergmaster.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kremlinology

ok

sovietology is a real term

wtf

I'm a fascologist

actual autism
