That's a lot of words to say nothing and link no sources to the only claim you made so far...

And you can't because, just like everyone else, you're making it the fuck up.

I'm so done engaging with people like you

Then I'll ask you the same:

Show me links of these alleged Putin-loving communists. I've already been waiting for house lol

I do love that (which is why I engage with this type of things).

But now, keep imaging the scene:

It's still the chemistry forum. The chemistry field has been attacked by western anti-chemistry propaganda for almost a century. The chemists in the audience put up a sign at the entrance with a bunch of FAQs and beginner's friendly questions.

I ignore all of that and demand an answer that I could have easily gotten answered online. But I'm doing all of this in bad faith. I just want an example of the evil chemists telling me to leave because I couldn't be bothered to be honest in my request nor I could be humble in my lack of knowledge on the topic.

When yours and my friend ask us about a topic we love, they do it honestly and looking for answers respecting the fact that they don't know. And yet, for anything communist/socialist, most people don't

What are you saying? That people who don't have political science degrees shouldn't participate in politics?

That's not what I'm saying at all. If you argue in such bad faith and put words in my mouth I'll stop replying.

I'm saying that just because you can google something, that is not the same as being knowledgeable about a topic. Especially when the topic is divisive and nuanced and you yourself admitted that you don't know enough about the topic to not mix things up.

You seem to be holding yourself up as an authority, but I have no reason to think you are.

Same. I'm just anothet online idiot. But I'm not pretending to know topics I've not actually read upon

Your assertion was you can't have an authoritarian communist. I gave a counter example of Stalin, an authoritarian communist. You seem unwilling or unable to refute that Stalin was authoritarian.

Oof, I see a bunch of misunderstanding here. Re read the thread and I'll be happy to engage with you (as long as you don't put more words I didn't say into my mouth please lol)

No, I can't reply to your question. Beacuse it gets asked EVERY SINGLE TIME here. It has been replied to ad nauseam, and not only on Lemmy.

I never said Google is bad. But why do you think that's enough?

Can you imagine how pointless, arrogant and entitled it would be for me, someone who has (as an example) no knowledge about chemistry, to go to a chemistry forum and ask an elementary question on an incredibly divisive topic within the chemistry field?

Why do you think having a surface level knowledge of political science and a quick scan from a google search is enough for such complex topics then?

Cool. Can you answer my question then? What opponents?

And more importantly, if you can't honestly type an answer to this without asking google, why do you think you have enough knowledge on this topic in general? Maybe you could look more into that instead?

Since you really liked to use this with me in a previous comment...

Stay mad troll!

Changing topic when cornered, I see

No, that's not what I'm arguing. You just can't read well.

Also, what opponents? Name them since you're such an expert
