“already freed” links to [Bullshit] LOL. Such rationality! Such logic. I shall merely declare it bullshit, and voila, it is.
Taiwan is part of China and a US puppet at the same time
Links to [Doublethink]. Rationality and things being more complicated than a light-switch? No can do!
China lifted 800 million people out of poverty!
Links to nothing! At least they are willing to take this and not argue about it?
95% of Chinese support the CPC!
Argument ad populum they declare. I can into bingo too! How long before I can cross off “brainwashing” from mine? Even if they somehow veer outside of that, what is this supposed to mean? Ah, you see, the fact that people like the CPC doesn’t make it good. What? Should the Chinese actually hate the CPC, like Statsians hate their parties? Such rationality! A hated party is good, a liked party is bad.
I took a look at Argument ad populum. They had this quote from Bill Maher:
Eat shit. Twenty trillion flies can’t be wrong.
Such rationality! HUMANS AND FLIES ARE NOT THE SAME. It doesn’t matter if twenty trillion flies do something. THEY ARE NOT HUMANS. IT DOES NOT APPLY TO HUMANS. HUMANS AND FLIES ARE DIFFERENT. SUCH FUCKING RATIONALITY.
The “800 million out of poverty” one is a strange one. Obviously they have no way to debunk or disprove it, so they just kind of grumble about it. They grumble and complain privately to themselves how much they hate China lifting people out of poverty because it means they can’t complain openly about evil Chinese government keeping people poor. I’ve had some very strange conversations around poverty alleviation. Westerners love the idea of it, but hate the idea that some random western charity isn’t doing it. They hate the idea that the thing that fixes poverty is organised government action, not westerners allaying their guilty conscience by donating their pocket change.

… OF FUCKING COURSE
They did link to a BadEmpanada video beneath the bingo card. What I find funny is that he believes that the ‘Uigur genocide’ meme is greatly exaggerated.

Don’t forget the hyperlink at the beginning that links to “points refuted a thousand times” page, despite none of these points ever being refuted.
