Ok, still not what I was talking about, as you know.

Then please explain what other association you have with McCarthy? Because the one I perceive as commonly used seems to not be it?

Accusing people of being Russian agents with no evidence as away of silencing disagreement.

Eeh, come on. While yes, that is one way to put it, McCarthy has a certain ring to it, especially in left and liberal circles. Something something you cannot not evoke a thing without its frame.

Notice how I know have multiple people stalking me across my entire post history and attacking me because I asked for evidence?

[–] [email protected] -1 points 5 days ago (1 children)

It's the same post you simpleton.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Notice how this person is replying to every discussion I'm involved in to slander me; they're doing that because I asked for evidence and they're so furious they've started stalking me.

[–] [email protected] -1 points 5 days ago (1 children)

What evidence did you ask me for?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 days ago (1 children)

I didn't ask you; just seeing me ask at all made you rage so hard you've started stalking my post history.

Remember, you're acting like this because I had the gall to say genocide denial is bad.

[–] [email protected] -1 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Which is something you never said, so... Ok

Oh, it's broken agian. Look at that.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Remember, this is the behavior that me saying genocide denial is bad has reduced you to.

[–] [email protected] -1 points 5 days ago (1 children)

You spin me right round baby right round
Like a record baby right round

Don't even bother with brainlessbox. It's a massive troll and ends up just repeating itself when faced with pushback.

Attacking all of your political enemies by claiming that they're secretly Russian agents, and then accusing anyone who asks you for evidence of also being Russian agents is very much in line with the ring McCarthy has to in in left and liberal circles.
