Its information overload aka gish gallup

Why did you bother learning the phrase "gish gallop" but not how to respond to it. Isn't that the whole point of studying this shit?

How should we frame our arguments in response to a meme that paints every single prominent socialist and socialist country as fascist without addressing each one?
Really the burden of proof should be on the one making the claim, shouldn't it?

You dont need to address each one. Pick one. I dont need proof to see that its too much information

No one is forcing you to respond to anything, let alone everything. Why don't you pick one?

OP didn't need to compare every socialist movement to fascists but they did, we didn't need to reply to most of them, but we did. But we're supposed to tailor our arguments to you, someone admits to not actually caring about any of it? No thank you
