Why does it feel that the evil sides globally are winning. Even evil people are winning. Why?

Yeah… there no point it discussing this with you.

Average liberal when presented with facts.

Okay… let’s play this game. I want you to go ahead and prove these “facts” of yours for me. Give me unbiased sources that provide empirical evidence to support your claim.

EDIT: Note how throughout the rest of this conversion, this person failed to answer the question, and tried several times to distract by trying to make be defend a point that wasn’t necessary to defend. This is what they do.

unbiased sources

Lol. So not Reuters or AP then.

[–] WrenFeathers 0 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

Either back up your claim or walk away.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

You first. Please present your empirical evidence from completely unbiased sources for your claims:

Because sensationalism creates ad revenue.

and

So the news you receive from any side of any story is going to try and make you as angry/scared as possible so you’re more apt to share it and spread the word

and

they then use the page bits and time spent on their sites to generate more ad revenue.

and

tankie, far-left, liberal, democratic, conservative, republican, and MAGA-affiliated sites. They’re guaranteed to not be honest with you

and

stick with independent and unbiased sources like Reuters and Associated Press.

(Here present empirical evidence from unbiased source for the claim that these networks are independent, for the claim they're unbiased, and for the claim that you should stick with them).

Go on, practice what you preach, don't just be a bad faith hypocrite who's bigmad that his own personal bias isn't unquestionably accepted as gospel truth.

That might be how you kids play in .ml, but here we play by the “I asked you first” rule. Which is especially relevant considering how all you have at your disposal is distractions and derailment.

Answer the question or admit that like all the others, you are nothing more than a debate troll.

Bahahaha. Are you literally a child?

[–] WrenFeathers 0 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

Thanks for proving my point. You have nothing.

Walk away.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

Lol, poor baby shitlib is throwing a tantrum at the idea of being held to their own standards. Then again, your whole ideology only works when you don't hold yourself to your own own standards, so I'm not surprised you start acting like an insecure teenager trying to act tough when called out on it

[–] WrenFeathers 0 points 4 hours ago* (last edited 3 hours ago) (1 children)

called out

says the .ml debate troll that was asked to answer a simple question to support their false accusations- refused to, and was then shown the door.

Again, thanks for playing. Walk away now.

EDIT: This is where they ran out of ways to avoid answering the question and resorted to responding with an emoji (they ironically chose a projector) to signify that they admittedly have no proof to support their false-accusation.
