      The article literally links to dozens of mainstream western sources. I love how libs are invariably unable to actually engage with the content, and simply resort to ad hominem when faced with facts that run contrary to their narrative.

        “Quora is not a good source” is not an ad hominem.

        libs are invariably unable to actually engage with the content

        This, however, is exactly that

          Dismissing the source because it’s Quora without actually engaging with the content of the source which links to lots of primary sources, is in fact an example of ad hominem.

          Pointing out that libs use this tactic however is not.
