So you’ve at least silently dropped the accusation of my denial of CIA’s involvment in anything. Good, that’s some progress.
What an incredibly stupid line of argument.
Indeed, I did literally declare that it is based on stereotyping as a response to your making a stereotype out of me…
I saw something that suggested there was a connection between the CIA and the uprising
It sure might look like it if you ignore that the uprising happened 7 years earlier and that the organisation CIA supported wasn’t based in Hungary. But it looks like you ignored that while reading the document, so the connection seemed much stronger than it really is.
and how compelling I considered the evidence to be
This is literally no “evidence”, you yourself said it just suggested a connection, it isn’t even close to evidence of it, and your meme straight-up says it was admitted.
If you understood it was an analogy, then nitpicking that the date used in my analogy “wasn’t even in the same decade as my source” is utterly irrelevant.
That’s simply not the point I was going for, you’ve misread it or I should’ve been more clear. My point was this: your analogy used a time and place where the event is nigh impossible to be ascribed to any other entity than KKK and similar; on the other hand, the event of CIA supporting Hungarian dissidents that is described in the document did not happen in the time and place that is the focus of your theory.
but also, there is other evidence that does prove it. So my process seems pretty reasonable.
No, it is not even remotely reasonable to provide mere indications, weak proof, or non-proof, while you have easily available and already generally-accepted proof at your disposal.
criticizing me for not doing a thorough enough investigation into Hungary
Lol, “thorough investigation”, that’s not what I asked of you (again, my first comment: “Can’t you just Google one or two key words?”), you didn’t even check Wikipedia and couldn’t get the year of the revolution right, and, as I said above, made your whole conjecture while likely ignoring the actual content and context of the letter.
If you’re a leftist, you have to be an expert on the history of the entire globe, as well as economics and all sorts of other fields.
But you’ve just justified your lack of investigation into the topic by saying that you don’t have any connection to Hungary, while simultaneously also making a statement on Hungarian history…
And in principle the discussion of whether something did or didn’t happen has little to do with whether one is a leftist or a liberal or anything else. If I’m wrong about something, my politics matter fuck all, I’m simply wrong, and the actual facts will speak for themselves.
This is literally no “evidence”, you yourself said it just suggested a connection
If it suggests a connection, that’s synonymous with it being evidence.
and your meme straight-up says it was admitted.
Again, we’ve been over it, yes, my meme wasn’t 100% accurate, it was based on an existing meme.
couldn’t get the year of the revolution right
Your whole line of criticism is pedantic whining and after this I’m done entertaining it. Literally how many times have you brought up one simple typo, that was only off by three years anyway? Would you also bring it up this many times if I mixed up they’re and their? Maybe you would, if you’re that kind of annoying pedant, but if you ask me this nonsense has more to do with latching onto something, anything that you can use to punch left.
while simultaneously also making a statement on Hungarian history…
Just like you justified your lack of investigation into the CIA while also making statements about CIA history.

It does matter if you try to enforce a hypocritical double standard where I have to be exactly right about everything and you don’t need to know basic historical facts.
