You are right, it’s not your job to educate me. I would, however, hsve thought the purpose of discussing things is to try to convince others you are correct. Generally that is done by e.g. providing facts supported by sources. If all you csn say is “do your own research”, then what is the purpose of saying anything at all? If you have no interest in convincing me that I am wrong, why engage at all? I’m genuinly curious. At lest my purpose has been from the start to challenge your viewpoint by trying to understand your arguments by asking clarifying questions, and providing rebuttals bssed on facts (e.g. citing specific articles, referring to specific referendums etc.).
I truly want to understsnd why you think the people of e.g. Donbas would have supported an invssion pre-2014, but when I ask for e.g. what sources you base something on you switch argument.
I tried explaining things to you, but it’s pretty clear that all you want to do is regurgitate the talking points you’ve memorized. You don’t actually want to have a discussion, and it’s a waste of my time continuing this. Your purpose has been to spew ignorant nonsense, and to pretend that you understand the subject you’re woefully ignorant about.
No matter how much information I provide, you’re going to continue to weasel, move goal posts, and make straw man arguments. You’re not the first troll on the internet, and you’re not very original. Bye.
You’ve tried explaining, but without providing any sources at all, except for “look it up yourself”.
I’m truly not sure why you think I have memorized some talking points? Is it maybe because I don’t want to move on to the next point until after we have properly dealt with the previous one, including e.g. figuring out what sources your claims sre based on (except just “source: The Internet” which is not even acceptible in grade school).
You provide information, but absolutely refuse to tell what source that information is based on.
Could you please provide sn example of where I have moved goal posts?
Why should I provide more sources when you yourself haven’t provided any? I have provided you with numerous sources in this thread already, and you ignored those. Like I already told you, feel free whatever nonsense you want, it won’t change the reality of things. You can think of me whatever you like, but I’m done trying to have a conversation with you.
Why should I provide more sources when you yourself haven’t provided any?
Firstly, if you go back to the beginning of this thread I exactly provide a source that contradicts the original article. So clearly I have provided sources.
Secondly, to paraphrase my mother, “Just because the person you are discussing with is being unproductive, does not mean you have to be”. I am trying to understand you, so of course I will try to be productive about it and reach my goal, instead of just being difficult because you are.
