      Devil’s advocate doesn’t just mean “advocating for bad things”, it specifically means advocating for a point you disagree with in order to find holes in the argument and patch them. A holey argument isn’t gonna get far

      I clarified I’m not defending him at all, I’m not american, I don’t support any american politician, and I have no sympathy for nazis, pedos or anything like that.

      But now I’m curious about your “.ml” comment, does my instance suck or what are you trying to convey?

        Lemmy.ml is infamous for defending authoritarian regimes of countries that have been through communist revolutions. Going as far as denying Uyghur genocide, denying that Russia committed war crimes in Ukraine, denying that Russia is the aggressor that invaded Ukraine (3 times).

        I’m probably ending up on a blocklist of your instance admins for saying this, if you can even still see my comment.
