  So in other words, the moment you read anyone that disagrees with you, you stop thinking immediately and reflexively shut off any and all engagement? Sounds like you’ve holed yourself up in an echo chamber of your own making. I already addressed all of these subjects either here or elsewhere, directly.

    No. The moment someone makes a claim that is utterly ridiculous in its disregard for facts, I disregard their reasoning.

    If you said “the Earth isn’t round to begin with”, you’d earn an identical reaction.

    Sounds like you’ve holed yourself up in an echo chamber of your own making

    Sounds like you’re projecting.

      My claim isn’t ridiculous though, nor does it have a disregard for facts. In fact, I supported my claims overwhelmingly with western sources that are already biased against China. You would know that if you read my comment, but you won’t let yourself even look at information even from the west that runs counter to your fragile worldview. What makes me a part of an echo chamber, when you’re the one unwilling to even glance at western sources that disagree with you?

      Then actually engage with the points they made and debunk them if they’re so ridiculous. All this is doing is making it obvious you don’t actually know enough about the subject to even have this argument.

    Why is china ramming Philippine boats in waters that aren’t their territory?

      Because Philippines has US military bases that threaten China’s sovereignty and control of its waters. Why are there US military ships around Chinese waters and not vice-versa?

        Would it be appropriate for US ships to ram Chinese ships in Chinese waters?

        There are no threats to Chinese territorial waters; this is happening in Philippine territory.

  Sure, the person who refuses to engage with any counter evidence and acts incredibly smug must be the credible one…

    I’m not going to engage in this discourse, just as much as I won’t engage in the discourse about whether or not the Earth is flat.

      You are engaging. You’re just doing it in a way that makes you look like you don’t know what you’re talking about.

        Seriously, all they did was legitimize me.
