(135,425 posts)If people have to resort to pushing government propaganda--and it's horribly written, absurd shit, too--to try to "prove" a point, and attempt to discredit reputable human rights and other international agencies that "say bad things" about their heroes, well, it's at that point that you know there's not much point in continuing a conversation. It's not a "difference of opinion" at that point, you're dealing with a lockstep ideologue with an "All Hail" agenda.
All of the proselytizing in the world won't change that horrible economy, won't change that ghastly crime rate, or the (down to 2nd worst in the world now, is it?) murder rate, or make goods appear on the bare market shelves. It won't cure the corruption or stop the exodus of talent. There's never a credible answer to any of that, and there never will be either--it's like Neverland, with Maduro as the new Peter Pan...ya just gotta BELIEVE!!!!
All you can do is consider the source. You can lead a horse to water, and all that.
