if anyone points out a flaw in their logic, they bury you in old propaganda and gish-gallop away

2018-04-22 14:36:56 UTC  

no wonder people grow tired of talking to someone like that

2018-04-22 14:38:08 UTC  

they are the ones who brought economic growth up

2018-04-22 14:38:14 UTC  

when you point out the horrors that stupid socialist policies lead to, the millions of deaths, it's whataboutism instantly to preserve the delusion.

2018-04-22 14:38:32 UTC  

muh millions of deaths

2018-04-22 14:38:51 UTC  

socialism is religious faith

2018-04-22 14:38:57 UTC  

and you're a fanatic

2018-04-22 14:39:01 UTC  

Vers how is that funny?

2018-04-22 14:39:07 UTC  

why do these deaths constitute an indictment of socialism yet the far higher death toll of capitalism does not

2018-04-22 14:39:11 UTC  

it's funny cuz that wasn't real socialism duh

2018-04-22 14:39:16 UTC

2018-04-22 14:39:21 UTC

2018-04-22 14:39:25 UTC

2018-04-22 14:39:26 UTC  

your entire movement is a joke

2018-04-22 14:39:28 UTC

2018-04-22 14:39:54 UTC  

"muh millions of deaths"

2018-04-22 14:39:58 UTC

2018-04-22 14:40:08 UTC  

you're such a great person

2018-04-22 14:40:14 UTC  

we should all strive to be like you

2018-04-22 14:40:15 UTC  

yes why does that count as an indictment of socialism

2018-04-22 14:40:20 UTC  

when the death toll of capitalism is far higher

2018-04-22 14:40:23 UTC  

and adopt your ideology, to become enlightened

2018-04-22 14:41:03 UTC  

it's funny how you see an argument, and I see an easy target <:pepe_smug:378719408341909506>

2018-04-22 14:41:26 UTC  

they paint themselves as horrid people, I just need to poke them in the right place

2018-04-22 14:41:32 UTC  

I actually don't like socialism that much, but it has some okay ideas (in small doses)... Marxism? Erg... Socialism is still shite, but refined it. But I think reading through different political ideas can be befinifical.

2018-04-22 14:41:40 UTC  

no point in trying to convince them

2018-04-22 14:42:06 UTC  

i mean it's funny you're saying it's like a religious faith when i am the one making arguments based off of empirical data

2018-04-22 14:42:08 UTC  

it's like dealing with religious people. If any kind of argument worked, it wouldn't exist.

2018-04-22 14:42:18 UTC  

and you're spouting memes about "not real socialism xD"

2018-04-22 14:42:29 UTC  

you're regurgitating propaganda without the slightest bit of source criticism

2018-04-22 14:42:30 UTC  

What empirical data? I came in too lare.

2018-04-22 14:42:36 UTC  

what propaganda

2018-04-22 14:42:45 UTC  

is the maddison project propaganda

2018-04-22 14:43:02 UTC  

there's no use in trying to point that out to you, as you're not critical of sources that agree with you

2018-04-22 14:43:08 UTC  

woke af

2018-04-22 14:43:08 UTC  

are these economic historians just secret like soviet propaganda agents or something

2018-04-22 14:43:15 UTC  

What are you talking about? I came in late.

2018-04-22 14:43:28 UTC  

a lot of them were utterly uncritical of USSR data

2018-04-22 14:43:34 UTC  

you're one of them, apparently
