I'll link to the comments here but I'll copy-paste them in comment format below in the comments so that it's easier to follow.

THEM: original comment

ME: quick response

THEM: Russian Lib response

ME: quick response to that (was busy with work)

ME: more elaborate response to that (had more time later, actual effort-posting)

THEM: response to my quick response

ME: final response to that response (also effortposting, interesting comment)

Thanks for checking it out. I'm saving this here for reference, because many Russian opposition libs are anticommunist in nature and these are some good responses (IMO) to some of their main points, that usually disarm them through the power of the immortal science.

Russian liberals think that be being born in 1989 and ignoring everything their parents and grandparents told them about their experiences makes them experts.

I always do the ol' switcheroo for these tokenizing fools by asking them whether they believe everything Americans tell you about America, particularly its economic systwm 30-50 years ago. I often do a double whammy where I tell them that as an American that means they have to agree with me on everything I say about the US modern and historical, which is of course a communist anti-imperialist position they absolutely don't agree with.

Of course, when there is an audience it is often better to take your approach of sharing information and letting them say increasingly ridiculous things. My approach immediately breaks their brains.
