    Why can’t leftists argue without distorting their opponents’ words?

    This is what’s called a strawman fallacy kids

        Honestly at this point you either seem like you’re trolling or you’re very passionate but haven’t done your research beyond reading a few articles years ago without following up or verifying their sources.

        Then when people point out the flaws you go into personal attack mode

          but haven’t done your research beyond reading a few articles years ago without following up or verifying their sources.

          Have you rehearsed this phrase before a mirror? I mean, where specifically in these insult exchanges was research required?

          Also people don’t reason with “ahahaha, this has been disproved many times, everybody knows this”. Not all social changes since Lucian’s time I like.

          Then when people point out the flaws you go into personal attack mode

          There’s been one (1) person who came really pointing out something, which I gave answers for.
