                Ignoring arguments and classifying anything you disagree with as “bad faith” makes you no better than MAGAts. You are, in fact, the one arguing in bad faith when you do that. I know you might ignore this too, but trust me, your current path leads only to inaccurate beliefs.

                  No, the arguments WERE bad faith. They were reductio ad absurdum. Reductive bludgeoning of someone you don’t agree with is bad faith. He wasn’t discussing my point, he was arguing pedantically that I had contradicted myself which I had clearly not. You want to have a grown up discussion about the topic, fine? You want to play stupid word games I’m out.

                    Those weren’t stupid word games though. I understand that sometimes something is lost in translation when you’re posting online, but I read it the same way that Squid did: The meat of your argument was that France successfully did a revolution, and then you described how their revolution failed to enact long-term change. Maybe you were arguing a different point than that though? Am I misunderstanding?
