White Helmets and ‘Russian’ nerve gas: New Call of Duty trailer is modern propaganda at its finest

You're the only troll here, my man.

No u.

I engaged you in good faith, not everyone who disagrees with you is a troll, that's some heavy projection.

So did I but you turned out to be a troll

Lol, what pieces of western propaganda have I spread?

That BBC is not funded and operated by the British government.

Is stating the fact that RT is government owned and operated "western propaganda" now?

It's not the fact.

That's a rich accusation from someone posting literal Russian state propaganda meant to make them look like a victim of a stupid fictional videogame.

Classic western propaganda defense.

You're the one who said you can refute my sources, but hey, I understand if you can't actually find any primary sources that can refute the fact RT is state owned and operated - or that the BBC gices editorial control to the british government.

So did you but all you come up with is another propaganda source. Try harder.

This, ladies and gentleman, is an example of what a person with no corroborable sources and no substantial argument to make will resort to. The strategy behind is two fold, first to annoy and overwhelm with nonsense - in the same vein as a "gish gallop" - which is oftentimes enough to secure the final word, and second, to avoid having to admit they have no counter argument to make with a variety of deflections techniques.

Ultimately a bad faith actor engaging in these tactics is hoping you will be too overwhelmed to repeat your own argument, and will attempt to shame you for repeating yourself if you do.

The fact of the matter is that any argument that's gone unacknowledged or has been otherwise deflected is a perfectly valid argument to repeat.

The further you press their defenses, the less you let up, the more you insist your argument is acknowledged, the more ad hominem attacks and accusations of trolling will be leveled at you - these ad hominem attacks are generally projection.

Well, this has been a spectacularly fascinating and insightful interaction, and one that is sure to blossom further, let's watch and see what happens next!
