    "Wydm this 19 minute youtube video isnt a rigorous academic work of history"

    Ironically enough these people who demand sourced and supported papers to prove left-wing talking points are the same sort of people who believe whatever shit the state dept shits out

      I mean looking at the comment section on the 'study' of left-wing vs right-wing extremism earlier today, it proved that r*dditors come into a discussion ready to agree with the headline instead of reading the content if it reinforces their beliefs on enlightened centrism.

      Lesson in there for us. If we call it "providing an endnote" instead of "taking a shit," then it won't stink. :think-about-it:

      well yeah the state department is obviously correct, or they wouldn't be the state department, they'd be like, the lying pinko bastard department, or something

      the burden of proof is on whatever information shifts the narrative, the status quo never has to assert its validity because it is already valid by virtue of being the status quo, duh!
