U.S. President Joe Biden on Thursday called China a "ticking time bomb" because of its economic challenges and said the country was in trouble because of weak growth.
I’ve seen people from lemmygrad and hexbear provide sources, even western ones, over and over and be completely ignored by the person they’re talking to, often with a thought terminating cliche. You got this backwards.
There are users from all instances that do that. The fact some do it is not evidence of anything, one way or the other. However, I was arguing with someone from one of the two about Xi Jinping being from the political class, not the working class, and their “evidence” otherwise was that he lived in a cave when he was a child. They ignored the fact the reason he lived in a cave was because his father was a politician who lost political favor, and it wasn’t some random cave, it was a building constructed of a cave.
It’s all willful ignorance of fact if you can’t find fault with any government. If you support anything, you should be looking for how to criticize it, not how to tell other people that there aren’t issues. How else would you improve it. I don’t trust anyone who won’t admit any fault in the thing they’re defending, and especially anyone who chooses to tie their identity to that thing.
Just calling out the thought terminating cliche is, ironically, a thought terminating cliche as well. I didn’t only include that in my comment, you just (expectedly) ignored the rest. The fact you had nothing meaningful to say is enough. My comment was much more then pointing out your point of origin (as in instance). Your comment was nothing.
Ah so like with every other logical fallacy it’s impossible for liberals to be guilty of the fallacy fallacy but all of us tankies are always guilty of every fallacy at once (yes even the ones that contradict one another)
You are rubber and we are glue, for everything we say bounces off you and rebounds back to us

And I’m sure you’re not biased at all…

Leading off with a thought terminating cliche when confronted by your ideological cohorts’ dependence on thought terminating cliches is quite a flex

What flawless playground logic you employ
