There’s a funny pattern I’ve noticed lately.
Not funny as in haha. Funny as in predictable.
It goes like this:
1. You make an argument.
2. You bring sources, dates, names, primary texts.
3. You stay on-topic.
4. They respond… not with facts—but with a tantrum.
5. Then they block you.
Conversation over. Victory declared.
If you’ve ever wondered how to spot someone pushing propaganda instead of engaging in an actual discussion, congratulations—you already have your answer.
They tell you themselves.
