Why? Because of a wikipedia post citing things like the Washington Post?

There's 184 sources in there, discredit all of them.

that specific claim. How about you start with the tide pods.

Google "Tiktok challenges".

But really, I'm more concerned about the electing a fascist part.

Fuck off with that Gish Gallop. How about you actually present your sources.

Google “Tiktok challenges”.

I googled it, found zero evidence about "China and Russia are tricking people on the internet right now into eating tide pods"

So you were just lying.

184 sources supporting a single argument is not a “Gish Gallop”, maybe you should google what that is too.

They aren't all supporting a single argument that is not how wikipedia works, dumbass.

No, I was being facetious, and you took me too literally.

So you were lying.

China is tricking children into doing dangerous things via Tiktok.

Prove it.

They’re a list of instances where Russia was caught influencing people online to harbour extremist views.

No, they aren't. Not how citations work. And that would be a Motte-and-Baily even if it was.

Are you autistic, by chance?

A Nazi, a lier, and an ablest? You really are the full fascist package.

They own Tiktok, Tiktok is spreading dangerous shit everywhere, except China. Wake up.

So, you have no evidence, it's just a xenophobic conspiracy theory.

I think this is that roundsparrow guy. I think they have serious psychological issues that aren't autism-related, but maybe some sort of cptsd or BPD.

I'm autistic, and you sound like you are too. Me asking if you are does not make me "ableist".

You seem to be adept in calling people names. Try making arguments instead.

So, you have no evidence, it's just a xenophobic conspiracy theory.

You can't just keep calling everything you don't like "fascist" and "xenophobic" and "ableist", you know.

Lol. Ok, Ableist Nazi.

Try making arguments instead.

Why? You haven't, you've only made assertions. And lied a bit, of course.

Doesn't prove your claim. What a shock, more lies from the Nazi.

[–] yucandu@lemmy.world -2 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Lol. Ok, Ableist Nazi.

Doesn't prove your claim. What a shock, more lies from the Nazi.

You seem to have been reduced to nonsensical name-calling.

Doesn't prove your claim.

Yes it does.

What a shock, more lies from the Nazi.

Now you're the one who's lying. Maybe you're also the one who's a Nazi?

[–] BrainInABox@lemmy.ml 3 points 3 months ago (1 children)

You seem to have been reduced to nonsensical name-calling.

Lol, ok mr. "are you autistic"

Yes it does.

No, it doesn't. Lying doesn't work when I can just click the link and see that it doesn't.

Now you’re the one who’s lying. Maybe you’re also the one who’s a Nazi?

"I know you are but what am I!"

No, it doesn't. Lying doesn't work when I can just click the link and see that it doesn't.

Lying doesn't work when everyone else reading this thread can click the link and see that it does.

Classic Nazi argument strategy. DARVO.

[–] BrainInABox@lemmy.ml 3 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Ah, you've been reduced to being literally incoherent.

[–] yucandu@lemmy.world -2 points 3 months ago (1 children)

DARVO stands for "Deny, Attack, Reverse Victim and Offender".

[–] BrainInABox@lemmy.ml 3 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Sure it does, Nazi

Is ", Nazi" like the signature you add on the end of every comment?
