    If you say that someone thinks / says something, without any evidence, and I bring evidence of the contrary, I think this is far from being anecdotal.

      We aren’t talking about a person, we’re talking about a community.

      If one person in a community condemns Putin while the rest of the community peddles his talking points, that person is the exception. Their contributions prove nothing about the community.

      This kind of evidence only works in the aggregate.

        Oh no I was using a person as a metaphor. Just replace person with community.

          Okay, then the proper criticism is that you’re a liar, typical of MLs. 🤷‍♂️

          Want to change your argument again, or are you going to give up?

            I mean, I’m not the one saying there was such a thread. The guy above is.

            Just saying that if there is evidence of such, why wouldn’t it be okay to point it out?

            I also notice you seem to have trouble understanding what I’m typing from time to time. Just calm down and reread the conversation.
