Childish absolutism. It's genuinely very ironic you talk about openmindeness and "ability to think". (Try using the words "capacity to reason" next time, sounds smarter.)

You're strawmanning and adhominimininiminimionimg while ignoring literally every single thing I said. You're the stubborn one who isn't open for discussion.

Saying "Ukrainians in occupied Ukraine want to be Russians" while we have clear evidence they're being forced at gunpoint to vote and Russia publishing figures saying >99% voter turnout and support for Russia? I should be like "okay, yes, I respect your opinion and we can respectfully disagree on this, as it doesn't matter that what you're saying is dangerous disinformation and what I say can be factually backed up very easily"? That's what you want?

That would be "open discussion" to you?

No, you clearly can't have a debate about the conflict in Ukraine. You're actively avoiding debating it, and the one thing you said about Ukraine, I looked up and tried to "discuss" with you and you had a tantrum and deny everything and refuse to address how Russia is forcing Ukrainians to vote at gunpoint.

You are right in that there isn't a reasonable discussion to be had here, because you're stubbornly refusing to understand anything that isn't one of your shitty fallacies.

Ah, childhish.

You want something childhish? I didn't even read past that word.

Now I'm blocking you.

I'm just saying so you spare your fingers from a lengthy response that I won't be seeing.

I don't hold grudges, so I will unblock you in a few days. I just don't want to keep reading you right now.

Have a great day!

Exactly my point.

Why even reply with "I didn't even read that and I'm gonna block you"? What would you call that, if not "childish"?

Actively avoiding me pointing out you — perhaps on accident, but did nonetheless — spread Russian propaganda about occupied Ukraine wanting to be Russians, when we have a lot of evidence that's incorrect.
