I’m making this thread to continue a discussion between @Thoelt53 and myself because we’re spamming up the main Off-Topic thread

Dispute my argument pertaining historical fact.

We can continue from there.

I’m not going to debate you via posting links to citations. That’s bogus. It’s one thing to post links to pieces to introduce an idea, but if we’re going to debate, it’s important that we form our own arguments. If I wanted to debate your citations, I would do so with the author of said citation.

Come to your own opinions and form them in a coherent argument. Your arguments consist of links to citations and paragraphs of demeaning nonsense.

Demeaning nonsense is not debate, no matter how many citations are included.

I’ll respond to this in a few minutes
