Imperialism and illicit drugs commonly go together. However, with Taliban opium eradication efforts in full effect, heroin is in short supply, and experts fear that a new fentanyl crisis could be brewing in the US.

    you misrepresented what I said to make the argument easier to defeat.

    when your unimaginative rhetorical tricks fail, you hurl insults.

      You’re complaining about hurling insults? Here’s you in this thread:

      what’s your point? just to come here and whine about it?

      are logical fallacies all you guys know?

      “nuh-uh” isn’t a convincing argument. most people learn this when they’re 5.

      “I know you are but what am I?” is not a convincing argument. most people learn this when they’re 5.

      your inability/refusal to understand is not my problem

      I’m amazed you didn’t snap your own neck with those mental gymnastics

      Insufferable

        The Reddit brain on display is amazing. My favorite part is when he uses debate terms incorrectly.

        Like it’s clear that he’s heard people use the terms but doesn’t actually understand what they mean.

              No, I’m mocking you because I don’t respect you. Why should anyone take you seriously when your only response to any sort of citation is to pretend not to know how to read and post Reddit-tier debate bro buzzwords that you clearly don’t understand the meaning of. It’s hilarious.

                  thats a strawman, you’re strawmanning your opponent by pretending that they have no real argument even though you’ve seen their argument and ignored it.

        I you can’t argue against “graphics”, you’re just admitting how weak your position is.

          I can copy and paste a response to every comment you make as well. It doesn’t make you right, you just copypasta your response and move on. If that isn’t a logical fallacy I don’t know what is

            congratulations on discovering copy/paste?

            let me know when you discover a rational argument based on fact that’s actually relevant to the discussion.
