    In the African high speed rail thread, I pointed out that the conjecture that the rail wouldn’t be cost effective was made up. Nothing in the article I submitted suggested that would be the case. So, if the person was claiming that, I was asking on what basis they were claiming it.

    What I’m stating about US interference in Taiwan i on the other hand a well documented fact.

    Once again, the only agitator and a troll here is the one who’s following me around and making personal attacks trying to smear me while adding nothing at all to the discussion. Do better.

      You’re changing the topic. You demanded citations for an assertion. Felt it was fair to do so. You clearly continue to do so.

      When others ask you, you tell them to Google it. Even just a little more effort would be helpful - a good site for reference, author, something…

      In the other thread I see your links. Thank you. Substance is good. I’ll take a look and see what’s up.

      That so many people “follow you around” is you misreading that you’re pissing off (potential) allies. They’re in those communities for a reason.

      Be better. No one is “stalking me.” And it’s not because I hold a lot of popular opinions (some are, some aren’t). Why are you being “stalked” for real? It’s not the opinion - it is the presentation.

      If you were confident and mature, you wouldn’t be glib and dismissive, you’d present clearly, with some empathy and rapport building, and you’d find some space for discussion.

      Others are also bringing up your complete lack of maturity in the Taiwan thread. Glib is how you galvanize people into an opposing position. Stop being glib.

        I’m not changing any topic here, I’m simply explaining why you’re making a false equivalence. Meanwhile, there aren’t many people following me around, there’s literally three of you.

        And the reason I call you out on following me around isn’t because you disagree with my views, but because you make personal attacks and don’t actually make any arguments of your own. You keep doing this psychoanalysis of me, telling me that I’m not confident, calling me a troll and so on. Nowhere do you say anything of substance.

        If you want people to take you seriously then maybe consider making a reasoned argument instead of personal attacks. Just a thought.

            So, what you’re saying is that I should just stop engaging with your trolling. That’s probably a good advice actually.

                Adorable that’s what you think you’re doing, but anybody who looks at your comment history knows different.

                  Checking yours is how people quickly identify the tankie who hates people for their country of origin.

                    Running around calling people who disagree with your tankies when you don’t have anything of substance to say really highlights the quality of your intellect. In all our discussions, you’ve only managed to produce a single intelligible comment when you were forced to admit that US is an oligarchic shithole that’s not actually exporting democracy around the world. I don’t hate people for their country of origin, I hate the despotic global empire that your country built and what it’s done to the world.
