    This makes it seem as though you haven’t read the literature and arguments of either side.

    Correct, I have not studied this event.

    If that’s the case you shouldn’t be coming to any conclusions at all

    You’ll notice I didn’t come to a conclusion.

    dismiss one side outright for being unorthodox.

    Your position is in fact unorthodox in my culture (U.S.) – that’s what I’m saying. If you have a non-standard position, if you actually want to convince people you need to make the information accessible and give people a reason why they should believe it over their normally acceptable sources. Making fun of them is probably counter-productive (even if it is fun).

    • You’re proudly proclaiming that you know little about the subject? Yet you still felt like joining in, because…?

      Not to mention the fact that you’re essentially asking that people chew up this complex topic and regurgitate a dumbed down version… because you’re a yank and being uneducated is part of your “culture”?

      You can read, and you have a mind, it’s up to you to put those two things together to inform yourself and form opinions.

        Why did you paraphrase culture, it’s true 😬

        Nope, I’m assuming y’all want to get people on your side right? I was just giving an example of what people outside of your bubble see when they see posts like this. No need to get your panties in a bunch.

      Your position is in fact unorthodox in my culture (U.S.) – that’s what I’m saying.

      In Nazi Germany in 1944, I think it would be regarded as an unorthodox position that Jews aren’t specifically inclined towards greed and evil conspiracy to destroy the Aryan race. By your epistemology, wouldn’t it be true that the person defending the Jews is the one that has the burden of proof and not the people who cling to antisemitic conspiracy theories?

        To be clear, I’m not speaking of this event, I never made any claims of knowledge about this event.

          you’re just loudly denouncing everyone who has investigated the event in question as wrong because they go against your (admittedly) ignorant view of reality

      Says an “anarchist”

      On a post

      About a book

      That’s is literally the source of the information in which you say we should be proving.

      You not only have no right to complain about being made fun of and harassed but deserve it. lol

        Do you expect everyone to read your book? How credible is this author? What about this book makes a true understanding of the events accessible rather than just being another person voicing their opinion of evidence the choose to accept?

          this is pure JAQing off. you’d have answers to your questions if you spent more time investigating and less time regurgitating state department propaganda

          expecting everyone to do the work for you because you’re too lazy is LIB shit

            We always do the work for them anyway and it’s still not enough to permeate the thick lib brain barrier.

              y’all are doing god’s work out there comrade. even if no known substance can pierce their ultradense skulls you might still catch someone who can be saved, and that’s worthwhile
