yea. how dare you. try engaging on topic and with intellectual honesty.

it is manipulative. it is designed to distract from the subject at hand and imply that the person being asked is acting in bad faith if they don’t chase your red herring.

how about you don’t engage in bad faith red herrings? instead, you could address the points other people raise in their comments.

this is some smug, manipulative bullshit.

america makes banana republics. america is an empire
