what, you don’t like the smell of garbage and rat pee?

tourists… :P

funny you say this… I often think, “have I been breathing this shit this whole time?” when I pull off a mask I’ve been wearing in the subway to wash it, and all this grime washes out

wow, flashback!

saying “like” implies I isn’t an actual cult

He’s dangerous for everything and everyone, including his own supporters, who often end up either in jail, or even dead, because they were followers of his. Even his lawyers end up getting screwed just because they worked for him.

Sadly, I’m sure this won’t be the last time this happens.

it’s interesting to see how common it is for people in NYC to still wear them sometimes, especially when on the subway (the air is shitty, so it makes sense).

I doubt it will be much of a problem here, except for those who always refused. yeah, it sucks, but it’s a lot better than getting sick— or dying.

You don’t seem to be capable of following the conversation

I’m perfectly capable of noticing when people move the goalposts because they can’t prove their argument with facts, as I keep pouting out. raging about it doesn’t change this fact or any other facts.

Oh my, you are really lost!

not according to the facts. if this continues to confuse you, that’s not my problem.

I’m sorry that I do not know how to find search results from 2001

not my job to prove your argument.

Yes, that’s why I was trying to figure out why you are struggling with them.

“I know you are but what am I?” is not a convincing argument. most people learn this when they’re 5.

you’ve presented nothing but anger, insults, and logical fallacies, none of which are convincing of anything other than that, when you can’t argue the facts in good faith, you resort to these bad-faith tactics ad nauseam because, so blinded by anger and hate, you can’t handle defeat.

Well that pretty much confirms my suspicions

so you admit to arguing from a position of clear and obvious bias. we get it— you hate the US. this has zero bearing on the facts— just that you like to insult people when you lose an argument.

Ah, so you do realize that it makes absolutely no sense lol

I’m not responsible for your lack of comprehension.

Looks like my job is done here. Rage on, little snowflake.

the finest projection in all the land.

You’ve moved the goalposts, but no matter.

“I know you are but what am I?” is not a convincing argument. most people learn this when they’re 5. (borrowed form another comment)

Operation Enduring Freedom was sold as a war on terrorism

see, you even admit that it wasn’t about opium.

the US repeatedly cited opium as a target of the war because they claimed it funded the Taliban.

you’re welcome to cite sources to back up your claims. and I’ll be happy to point out how the timeline doesn’t support your assertions that the war was about opium, it just happened to be something the US did while we were there.

Or did you think it was retaliation for 9/11 or something?

what I think is irrelevant. that facts are what matter.

I have American friends who died defending those poppy fields. I remember it all very well.

irrelevant. present facts. not anecdotes or your feelings.

Also do feel free to explain how this is any way relevant to the conversation:

correlation ≠ causation

I have, repeatedly. your inability/refusal to understand is not my problem.

Now the goal post has been moved to WhY

wow, that’s quite the pretzel you’d twisted yourself into trying score some imaginary “point”.

The “goal post” was always the “why” and it was never to eradicate opium. Every source, every article linked here bears that out. all that’s ben proven here is:

the US didn’t give a shit about it at all

ya got me there. they did care. still doesn’t prove that it’s why the US was there, and, in fact, several of the linked sources directly state to the contrary against claims that it was.

try not to hurt yourself with more of those mental gymnastics. it’s hilarious to watch

edit: ya know, you probably wouldn’t be so outraged and angry all the time if you didn’t constant make stuff up to be outraged and angry about.

person replies back with factual evidence contradicting your personal beliefs in a foreign war, “lmao, so?”

you mean an Association Fallacy that fails to prove their claims? US Maries also peed while they were there. That doesn’t prove it’s why they were there.

They were directly responding to your words, to disprove them.

except they didn’t disprove them. US Marines also peed a lot while they were there, but it’s not why they are there. it proves nothing.

Do you really not see the connection between the comments?

correlation ≠ causation

lmao, so? we get it. you hate the US. what’s your point? just to come here and whine about it?

Steam because GOG does something to their games that makes most mods not work on them.

Gotta have my mods!

He’s also going to show us Hunter Biden’s laptop and Hillary’s buttery males

Well, we sure did get a lot of damning proof that day… 

Someone bet him he couldn’t get to 100 indictments by Wednesday, and he said, “hold my diet Coke!”

lmao, no it doesn’t. the US didn’t go to Afghanistan to eradicate opium. the US didn’t give a shit about it at all, lmao.

do tankies so blindly hate the US that they’ll give the Taliban a bj just to try to make the US look bad? wow…

I really did ask for that, didn’t I? lol

well, that’s very horrible!
