I’ve seen his modlog so I know he’s been banned here twice in the past year, both times being due to genocide denial (I’m wondering if this is about the Uyghur?).

I wonder what everyone’s experiences of conversing w him has been.

I definitely think he at the very least has a wholly uncritical acceptance of China and I directly probed him on that and he essentially did admit to being open to accept it and not criticize the nation because he wasn’t part of it (which is just a biased outlook— and mentioning that made him strawman by saying “everyone’s biased” when this is a clear thing one can control).

    Cowbee is harmless. Chronically online weirdo who will answer a question you didn’t ask with 15 cited paragraphs from 4 books, 2 articles, and 3 papers. All of it perfect. It’s honestly as impressive as it is weird and sad. Site would be significantly less interesting without em.

      Usually incredibly biased papers. Honestly incredible they’re able to find stuff that biased, they must be scrolling past pages and pages of real sources to get to the misinformation.

        There are tankie communities that have all these topic responses on hand so it takes 0 time for them to copy paste into a thread and the other person needs to take time to response. When you read the responses they are filled with real quotes and point to events but they’re completely ahistorical because they leave out all the context that disproves it. So their whole claim rests on the other person not being aware that the leader said one thing but completely contradicted it with their actions.

      I mean, I’ve mostly found it impressive, even if his blatant biases are glaring; it’s difficult to prove him wrong in a manner that’s satisfactory (granted I feel I have on some points, he just reframes away everything like a worm)
