I haven’t strawman’d them, they literally say China, Russia, Iran and DPRK are great and the West is bad continually. There’s no nuance to their position. At no point have I seen any post or comment from the OP that says “you know what, there’s some good and bad on both sides and maybe we should strive to find the balance in our perspectives” (though I will admit, I haven’t specifically gone through their post and comment history to seek it out).

It’s also not an ad hominem if I believe the person either doesn’t understand what they’re saying/doing or they’re intentionally saying/doing things because they’re themselves propagandised or being paid to say/do it.

Does that mean everyone should just believe every piece of “China is the greatest thing ever and nothing bad has or ever will happen here” as gospel truth?

Those sources boil down to DPRK state media and “some random person online who happens to agree with my POV”

Always funny how the most vehemently anti-propaganda people are the ones most hungry for their own form of propaganda.

You should move to North Korea, Kim would love to have you.

You can fight western narratives without eating up every pro-putin, pro-iran and pro-NK story blindly. You’re just as brainwashed as those you’re supposedly trying to awaken.

Don’t engage with this person, they’re either a teenage pro-putin edge lord or some sort of professional troll.

ELIZA, the first chatbot created in the 60s just used to parrot your response back to you:

I’m feeling depressed

Why do you think you’re feeling depressed

It was incredibly basic and the inventor Weizenbaum didn’t think it was particularly interesting but got his secretary to try it and she became addicted. So much so that she asked him to leave the room while she “talked” to it.

She knew it was just repeating what she said back to her in the form of a question but she formed a genuine emotional bond with it.

Now that they’re more sophisticated it really highlights how our idiot brains just want something to talk to whether we know it’s real or not doesn’t really matter.

While technically true, there were plenty of affiliated fascist organisations around the world who openly paraded their nazi sympathies in public. Oswald Mosely and his British Union of Fascists spring to mind.
