Maybe link news stories that were heavily in circulation before years later being proven to be horseshit. Iraq WMDs etc

Show the media is always complicit and fails in uncovering truth and use snark imitating them. ie “Nah bro. This time it’s different”

I’ve got a few days free, I may actually just do this. What other events would be good examples? I mean, it’s hard to dwindle it all down…

this is my favourite one - it’s just so clear and unequivocal and the parallels are so stark, and it’s direct from a mainstream news source at the time, showing exactly how uncritically they recirculated this nonsense (apologies, i mean “an incredible presentation of a web of evidence, not just a theory”)

Nice thanks. Is there any refutation picture by picture of the claims? I guess the biggest refutation was that they didn’t find any WMD lol, but more granularly I mean mean.

Wow, that one is so blatant I have a feeling the average lib would sooner say “Huh, I guess they did have WMDs after all” than admit the situation with the current claims against China are the exact same thing.

  1. ask to show evidence (statistics on rapid depopulation etc)

  2. unprovable, but china cares more about health of it people self-evidently (together with taiwan, vietnam and new zealand maybe)

  3. lol

  4. ukraine can perfectly well be neutral, or freeze in winter :shrug-outta-hecks: only somehow freemarket doesn’t apply to gas transit.

Also ask him how would he like medium range ballistic missiles in cuba, and 10 k russian soldiers there, and how would broader usa react to it, point to history in case he says it’s okay

Just turn Uigur thing around , he offers accusations , the most outrages accusation in fact … he is the one providing evidence , if he just talks noise he vaguely heard , thats kind of the point , he talks noise he vaguely heard … thats his level … also “zenz” and the sponsors of the Reports on the Uigurs

https://www.aspi.org.au/sponsors

this is a non disputable (on merit) Report ordered by the Italian- Goverment that shows Uigur is a fabricated Bull , to disput it you disput 4 Italian Agencies … https://newcoldwar.org/eurispes-academic-report-xinjiang-understanding-complexity-building-peace/

also this list of Signatures --> https://newcoldwar.org/eurispes-academic-report-xinjiang-understanding-complexity-building-peace/

then ukraine, you just take John Mearsheimer --> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JrMiSQAGOS4 … hes a imperialist through and through … so no lib dispute here …
