Yea, I’m gonna do a full debunk of this video tomorrow, I only addressed the HRW thing and he already blocked me, so time to dismantle every one of his arguments

not reading this novel, cry about it

Yes. It is either torture or it’s not.

Hey numbnuts. I know my sister isn’t, for instance, allergic to whatever chemical is in the spray. Does Mark Rober? May I approach you randomly in public and spray this stuff in your face? Just a harmless prank, right?

What he’s doing is literally illegal, by the way. Booby trapping is illegal. People don’t care because it’s being done to a group of poor people who is demonized by libs like you.

I have genuinely no clue what you are trying to say here.

You are willing to ignore what you consider to be harmful abuse that Mark Rober is instilling upon the working class to bolster your dogshit point. You are pathetic.

And? I said low risk not no risk. It is also low risk to fly and yet planes crash sometimes dosen’t stop people from flying. Also this case has nothing to do with porch pirating so why bring it even up?

Are the goalposts heavy? If someone shoots someone knocking on their door, they’ll unload a full clip into a someone trying to steal from them

Criticizing Mark Robber is deserved but could you do that without diluting an extremely important term?

You don’t want to criticize him. You want to defend him. That’s why you’ll nitpick the things I said in order to be PURPOSELY PROVACTIVE instead of actually addressing the point of the article. The point that you fully agree with.

What you’re doing right now is defending the person you also say deserves criticism. Suck me from the back, lib

I. blamed. capitalism. The cause of my despair.

my car window was broken once and $400 worth of stuff was stolen. It cost $300 to replace the window. I’m homeless, I live in my car. Do you know who I blame? Capitalism

cry about it lib, also read the fuckin article

Ah, so it’s only torture if it comes from Gitmo, otherwise its ‘sparkling chemical warfare’.

Do we have to wait until someone loses an eye from getting chemicals shot into it before we demonize this? What are we, libs?

I really hope you aren’t comparing me pranking my sister by spraying fart spray in her room to rigging a package to dispense it onto your enemy, surely you aren’t doing that?

I ignored the indian call center bio warfare because I don’t disagree with your analysis.

So you’re morally corrupt and willing to lie to bolster your shitty point, thanks for letting me know that.

Porch pirating or grabbing something out of a car is pretty low risk

Ahem Black teen shot in the head after knocking on the wrong door

Could we perhaps cease playing ‘devils advocate’ when a rich white guy gets paid hundreds of thousands of dollars from an AT&T sponsorship to terrorize poor people? That would be fantastic.

I literally addressed this at the end of the article. I prefer theft directly from corporations. What specifically would you call this other than torture? For instance, if it was done to a truly innocent person would it just be a ‘prank’? Would you like to see pranks like this done to people?

Plus you ignored the Indian call center bio warfare, where he unleashed hordes of cockroaches on workers

how does the author know that the thieves really need to steal in order to survive

why would someone steal if not to get money to live? What’s the point of risking violence from cops or psychotic gun wielding bystanders?

extremely popular media figures. we should of course care about combatting libshit whenever possible.

Updated the article to include a part I missed, where Hila denies that Israel terrorizes Palestinians on a daily basis. Disgusting.

and libs supported the aggressors in that situation as well, of course

I think it’s useful to point out hypocrisy. Supporting both Ukraine and Israel is nonsensical. Palestine is infinitely worse off than Ukrainians, who don’t live under apartheid and had at least some sovereignty (aside from their US masters). Palestinians have none. Yet liberals still will support the fascist ethnostate over the brown people.

I did an in-depth ‘debunk’ of this study.

I want to highlight the most egregious part of it, to me at least. Here’s an excerpt from my article:

As we find later in Section 5.4, tankies have the most proportion of posts with high identity attack against Jews in the far-left community.

??? Let’s pull up that section quickly:

The Perspective API [92] is a widely used [9, 12, 26] tool for measuring toxicity. Although it has limitations, e.g., there are issues of bias and questions of performance when encountering conversation patterns that it was not trained on, at scale it provides a decent measure for comparison between online communities.

They used an API tool to analyze comments on the tankie subreddits. They specifically mention that it has limitations if it wasn’t trained on certain conversation patterns. The Perspective website doesn’t mention it being trained on Reddit comments or comments in leftist communities. This is junk science, of course.

Finally, we observe that tankies frequently target Muslims and Jews in their posts.

I’m not about to dig too deep into the way this API determines what constitutes an Identity Attack, since this study doesn’t even attempt to elaborate on it, but I’m going to assume that if it detects ‘hateful words’ in the same comment as a ‘named entity’ like Jew or Muslim, it just assumes the comment is attacking that entity.

Here’s the problem. A comment like this:

“Zionists are pieces of shit for assuming all Jews support Israel”

or this:

“Implying that the US gives a fuck about Muslims when they criticize China is delusional”

would likely be considered by this bot to be an attack against Jews or Muslims. Curiously, this report doesn’t provide a single shred of evidence of these attacks on Jews or Muslims. But, in the ‘C.1 Qualitative Validation’ section, they do give some examples of the toxic comments that this bot identified. Not a single one is specifically about Jews or Muslims.

Here’s two examples:

To me, boarding schools serve as schools for potential terrorists, and China’s approach seems more humane than the US’s

and

Zionism equates to Fascism.

Neither comment is an Identity Attack against Muslims or Jews. The first is talking specifically about the small portion of Uyghurs that China has identified as being radicalized, not all Muslims. The second is about Zionism, which as this study pointed out, does not mean all Jews. Neither one contains the word ‘Jew’, or ‘Muslim’, anyway.

Hmm, I wonder why they omitted that. Because the truth doesn’t fit the ‘tankie bad’ narrative they are pushing? This is research misconduct, pure and simple, and this singular example of evidentiary omission should cause any non-tankies reading this study to dismiss it in its entirety. But of course, it won’t.
