"Everyone I disagree with is a shill and all ideas I disagree with are propaganda"
Mocking me instead of responding to what I said is a good indicator you have no reasonable response.
It's a good indicator that what you said was worthy of mockery. Mockery is a reasonable response for someone who thinks everyone you disagree with is a shill and that all ideas that you disagree with are propaganda.
Well, they're a bit over the top and oversimplifying things in my opinion. But you're also not contributing anything of value. You could instead add your perspective if it's different. I mean I'd probably read it and it'd get us ...anywhere?...
I'm pointing out that they're dismissing all opposing views as propaganda from shills, which itself is not contributing anything or in fact contributing negative value because it reduces discussions down to "my opinion is the one real truth and anyone who disagrees is a shill". Pointing this out is my contribution, but for some reason this needs to be argued to the point of meaninglessness.
No I'm not, and you know it.
all media is propaganda.
