When people are way too smug about their wrong answer.

Posting guidelines.

All posts in this community have come from elsewhere, it is not original content, the poster in this community is not OP. The person who posts in this community isn’t necessarily endorsing whatever the post is talking about and they are not looking to argue with you about the content in the post.

You are welcome to discuss and debate any topic but arguments are not welcome here. I consider debate/discussions to be civil; people with different opinions participating in respectful conversations. It becomes an argument as soon as someone becomes aggressive, nasty, insulting or just plain unpleasant. Report argumentative comments, then ignore them.

There is currently no rule about how recent a post needs to be because the community is about the comeback part, not the topic.

Rules:

• Be civil and remember the human.

• No trolling, insults or name calling. Swearing in general is fine, but not to insult someone.

• No bigotry of any kind, including homophobia, transphobia, sexism and racism.

• You are welcome to discuss and debate any topic but arguments are not welcome here. I consider debate/discussions to be civil; people with different opinions participating in respectful conversations. It becomes an argument as soon as someone becomes aggressive, nasty, insulting or just plain unpleasant. Report argumentative comments, then ignore them.

• Try not to get too political. A lot of these posts will involve politics, but this isn’t the place for political arguments.

• Participate in good faith - don’t be aggressive and don’t argue for arguements sake.

• Mark NSFW posts if they contain nudity.

• Satire is allowed but please start the post title with [satire] so other users can filter it out if they’d like.

Please report comments that break site or community rules to the mods. If you break the rules you’ll receive one warning before being banned from this community.

This community follows the rules of the lemmy.world instance and the lemmy.org code of conduct. I’ve summarised them here:

  1. Be civil, remember the human.
  2. No insulting or harassing other members. That includes name calling.
  3. Respect differences of opinion. Civil discussion/debate is fine, arguing is not. Criticise ideas, not people.
  4. Keep unrequested/unstructured critique to a minimum.
  5. Remember we have all chosen to be here voluntarily. Respect the spent time and effort people have spent creating posts in order to share something they find amusing with you.
  6. Swearing in general is fine, swearing to insult another commenter isn’t.
  7. No racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, xenophobia or any other type of bigotry.
  8. No incitement of violence or promotion of violent ideologies.

yes, we know about this

what are they being forced to produce? you claimed iphones and leggings? back that up.

[–] Cryophilia@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Rofl those were examples. It's obviously very difficult to tell exactly what they're producing but they definitely work in manufacturing producing goods that come to the West.

and you're backing this up with...

i did, didn't see what you are claiming.

whats the section/paragraph number that backs up your claims?

[–] Cryophilia@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I will give you one. Just one. If after this you demand further citations, specificity, or detailed description, I will denounce you as a sealioning troll and banish you.

Third paragraph:

"The Special Rapporteur regards it as reasonable to conclude that forced labour among Uighur, Kazakh and other ethnic minorities in sectors such as agriculture and manufacturing has been occurring in the Xinjiang Uighur Autonomous Region of China," the report said.

had to look up sea-lioning, don't think this applies since you didn't actually provide past evidence nor am i pretending to have an honest, civil debate. I think you are someone who has heard a lot of different things, probably with the right intention, and have conflated them into one mass as if half the world's population were not involved. so I've been asking you to pull apart that tangled ball of thread and see if you can't find a kernel of truth.

in this case, you may have. after all, "is reasonable to conclude..." and "this slave is manufacturing the shit you bought at Target" are roughly the same, right?

No, of course they are not. But while I'd hoped you had the rigor to actually come up with a coherent argument, you seem not to have. I'll save you a click and block you.

You must be a tankie, only a CCP bootlicker could come up with the mental gymnastics to say "there are slaves" means "there are not slaves".
