Surely the Chagossians were sold down the river aeons ago by whoever was in power at the time the Septics were allowed to build their base there?

Are you expecting any kind of reasonable argument from the traitorous MAGAt arselickers?

So just ignore their effluences.

Yup. They were booted out by the end of the 70s. Anyone who thinks the situations are remotely comparable is a dumbass.

I genuinely don't know why it does, unless it's in a court of law, or in a scientific publication. The aim is simply to provoke a response (or better, outrage), and lying brazenly and invoking egregious & outrageous things are the means. The best response is none. I appreciate it can be hard to resist, as it looks like an easy, open goal ("This simply isn't true, and here's the irrefutable proof!"), but the response itself (not the content of the response) validates the egregious shît posting, as far as the poster is concerned. It's a basic feature of trolling, nothing unique to NCAP and a particular poster.

Exactly this. It's not an intellectual pursuit, or done in good faith. It's just a perverse psychological gratification mechanism: mental masturbation.

What do you imagine you mean by that, you relentlessly stupid cunt?

Of course, one can still keep plugging away with one's strongly held opinions, which might or might not be dealing with untruths posted by others... not by referencing the blatant untruths directly (that only gives the untruths more oxygen), but by continually citing a multiplicity of generally trustworthy sources rather some anonymous 'source' or partisan hack on X. Obviously it's not always straightforward to do that, and even generally trustworthy sources make errors, but I think an assumption that anything from X is untrustworthy if that's the only source for the info is not unreasonable, given Musk's explicit agenda.
