This comment was in response to someone expressing regret about joining .ml if I recall correctly

Edit: I’m convinced all this guy does is camp out in front of his computer and wait for an excuse to abuse what itty bitty power he has.

    You’re exactly like an antivaxxer. Ain’t nothing going to convince you to stop using bullshit.

    Too far gone for sure

    “Hey, there’s no evidence of that number.”

    “Oh yeah. Well I’m still going to use it because it makes me feel good.”

      Yikes, you really want to strawman this as hard as you can.

      Not sure what you’re quoting but it ain’t me.

      There is evidence to draw the conclusion that an estimate of 180k dead is plausible. Everything from the length of the war, the documented lack of aid reaching the region, the documented destruction of medical facilities to the The documented destruction of habital areas.

      I understand fully that there are ~40k deaths reported from within. I think it’s entierly plausible that the real number of deaths as an indirect cause of the war are far higher than that. Personally I think it’s more than plausible. I think it’s likely. But I’ll stick with plausible just for you.

        you are straw-manning though, like actually. You don’t have evidence of 180k, absolutely nothing.

          No. I’m really not. And as I’ve explained so many times. There are evidence available to make that conclusion plausible.

          The word you are looking for is proof. But you not understanding the difference between evidence and proof is another issue.
