So your reply to... 20 links, is to complain that someone is documenting well ("obsessed") and then make one claim against the entire instance with one supporting link?

I have a massive problem with .world. There's a reason I'm not on it. But the .world liberal problem doesn't undo the .ml tankie problem. Two things can be true.

20 links linking to his own posts. At least the first 3 did.

Those three links were posts of screenshots of mod actions? If I was doing a big, hyperfocus-style, documenting-things kind of thing, I wouldn't link directly to the modlog for a lot of reasons. I'd link to a screenshot of the modlog. That way, people can see the thing I want to point out, and then if they want, go verify that it's in the modlog.

Normally I wouldn't wade into this obvious shitshow, but I have a massive pet peeve of a person dismissing another person's argument with, "There's too much evidence." I get not wanting to comment individually on each and every thing they posted, who has the time, but for "I don't want to engage with all this content," there's the option of not commenting at all. Telling someone that their point is invalid because they have too much content is really really really frustrating for me. That might be my neurodivergence but...

But, "your point is wrong because there's too much evidence and I don't wanna read it" isn't a counterargument to the original point being made. And making a counterpoint of, "but here's MY argument and MY evidence and I want you to engage with THAT" is... not what good faith debate should look like. If you can't be bothered to engage with the original point being made, using it to pivot a discussion to your own point is... rude.

They have no evidence. They link questions to Liberals who ask rhetorical questions, such as "how can anyone in good faith support China and Russia" and then paste generic propaganda their post which all apply to America a thousand times more.

These are deeply unserious people who do nothing but concern troll on asklemmy. Spouting nonsense and putting a question mark after it.

And likely alt accounts of cm002 as he always complains about Hexbear and Lemmygrad while we cannot even see their posts on .world

I have to say, I read your comment, then went back and actually looked at the first three links they posted. None were rhetorical questions. Are you looking at something somewhere else that I'm not aware of?

But it doesn't... Like I'm not actually interested in your fight. I just have a massive pet peeve about someone coming in, seeing a wall of links called 'evidence,' and choosing to ignore all that to start a different fight.

I clicked one at random. You read all the links with evidence right? You love link spam apparently and think it is enough to win any argument.

It is in their list. Good luck finding it.
