Like herpes, sea lioning hasn't went anywhere. I've tried providing evidence, examples, but no matter what, when sea lioning happens, those links have "an agenda" or "bias" or "a narrative" whatever the fuck that means. This is the tactic that Sarte warned about: cryptofascists don't actually care about the integrity or consistency of their arguments, only sophistry to make yours seem untenable.

            This works.

            A bazinga brain recently demanded I provide one OBJECTIVE example of :my-hero: abusing his workers using sources "without an agenda or bias."

            I then counter-demanded that he provide one OBJECTIVE example of :my-hero: actually inventing anything.

            He went full :frothingfash: and offered me a "free helicopter ride" out of nowhere. Scratched :LIB:

              offers of helicopter rides can be countered by offers of cave explorations :pit:

            How i defeated fascism with the power of debate

            Chapter 1: The Power of Debate
            The first step in my journey was realizing that it is impossible to defeat fascism with the power of debate.

            Chapter 2: The Power of Extreme Violence

          I find people that are already writing multi paragrqph responses and ply them with simple questions just to see how long their patience lasts.
