I love how you can just make shit up and libs eat it like slop, as long as its about someone they're preconditioned to hate.

It really weakens your position too. Because people who aren't familiar with the issue will see one side blatantly strawmanning and when they see the other side not mentioning that at all, they'll just awesome the first side is full of shit. Even if their positions are corrects.

I find that .ml can sometimes be questionable, but yeah that sounds like a claim that needs evidence.

If they ever source their claims they always either point towards

  • a singular incident by a new account
  • someone saying something other than what they claim is being said
  • someone who got banned for their reactionary tendencies
  • a comment that got removed for its reactionary tendencies

Yeah, if its common there should be plenty of highly upvoted comments like that, and not just a meme/shitpost either.
