Being a lib is so easy, you can just say anything and if it's wrong, just bring up "Tianmen" square.
US is not NATO. Sheesh.
I hate when libs pretend this is true
US wars are either an exclusively US thing or a NATO joint operation depending on which one carries more water for imperialism in the current context.
NATO is US and its lapdogs.
I guess "whataboutism" is ok when they do it.
im pretty sure they only throw out whataboutism when you try and draw parallels between what america does and what the state department is trying to get people outraged at.
they never use it to point out when someone is changing the subject after they've failed to defend one of their arguments.
True.
It's only okay when they do it :/
Tianmen
HOLY SHIT WE'RE DEALING WITH AN EXPERT FOLKS
Imagine only knowing (incorrect stuff) about two things, and you can't even spell one of them.
Average lib: 
Side note, good work combatting liberalism! I see you do it all the time 
Thanks ❤️
I propose a game of bingo for these recurring liberal dog whistles: Tianmen Square, Uyghurs, Holodomor, North Korea, Do you condemn HAMAS?, etc.
If they hit BINGO by naming 5 or more, then they get a prize:

I would drop this and tell them to F off.
"My take is the same as this conservative newspaper and CBS news' eyewitness, and the BBC's eyewitness. As for the Uyghurs my take is the same as the official UN final assessment report."
i dont think there's any value in continuing to communicate with that person. but if you must i would just tell him if he want's to talk about china he's more than welcome to fuck off and find someone else who wants to argue about it with him. you don't have to defend any point you're not making, and if you try they'll just bring up some other bullshit gotcha they can use to justify to themselves that you're still somehow wrong despite being factually correct.
There's really no value in continuing to communicate with anyone. Anyone reachable has already found their way here on their own.
You don't convince people of anything with one internet argument. Still, I think it's worth it to try and state and defend your beliefs publicly. It may or may not sway anyone but it does at least force you to examine and understand your beliefs so that you can competently defend them.
Unquestionably false. Everyone has different experiences on different timelines relative to each other. Maybe you would have been hopeless if you weren't here by now, but other people didn't come to lemmy at the same time, have the same interactions, have the same broader background, etc.
sometimes the only thing that can get through a person's skull is a bullet
Whataboutism is only when the communists do it. When I do it, I'm a free-thinker. /s
They honestly are more of bots than any putin/xi bot wishes it ever could be
Tinyman square
So, this?
NGL, it doesn't look like a very fun kit to build. Maybe if it was the full complex rathrr than just the central building it would break the lines up more.
Very cute
Lmao that’s when you know you’ve won the argument. Liberals talk a big game about being logical but always resort to sick burns and downvotes when they can no longer argue in good faith.
Edit: Busted!
lemmy.world.. lemmy.world never changes
Have these people ever considered that Russia is simply looking at the west and saying “huh, so we can just do that and nothing happens to us? Don’t mind if I do.” The US doesn’t get to proclaim to be leader of the world then also be absolved of influencing other countries to be like you in all aspects. If Putin is Putler, then how is it any different than Nazi Germany being influenced by the US?
