Australia is Dismantling Academic Freedom in Defense of Zionism
An ongoing Zionist pressure campaign against Australian universities has resulted in government recommendations for an investigation. The resulting inquiry will put academia under constant political scrutiny in defense of Zionism.
... you're posting a podcast titled "CitationS Needed" that's clearly trying to pass its self off as famous YouTuber Tom Scott's "Citation Needed" (no plural) and it features Trump supporter, Glenn Greenwald (his fall from grace and later support of Trump is well documented, up there with Michael Moore, and Matt Tabili).

It's pretty sad that this is your idea of media literacy - name swapped podcasts and deadbeat Trump supporters.
Who did I present as evidence again? A small news agency known as Reuters? ...and your idea of media litteracy is - a podcast pretending to be a more famous podcast.

This amounts to a conspiracy theory. It's a completely different kind of format and the hosts introduce themselves up front. If it's a knock-off, it's not a very effortful one. You'd probably have an easier time saying they stole the name, because it's a very good name.
Sorry, not everyone is willing to take: Random guy said it on a podcast, (or defender of Trump said it on a podcast cast) as a source worth listening to for trusted reporting.
Not to mention the rudeness of just assigning someone a podcast in an online discussion, or the fact the podcast had no relevance to the topic of whether Australian universities are self-censoring due to reasons of; Capitalist exchange.
Whether the podcast is relevant or not has nothing to do with what I said. Whether it is credible or not has nothing to do with what I said. Whether you are justified in feeling offended over it? Nothing to do with what I said.
For my own mental health I'm going to just not take the bait which is that parenthetical. Instead, I would like to focus on how "I refuse to listen to even two minutes of this podcast because I don't like its pedigree" is not actually a go-ahead to blindly presume things about it like the conspiracy theory I initially pointed out. You can refuse to listen to it, that's fine, but that puts you in a position of lacking a lot of information for making assertions about it. What that means is that what you can do is ignore it, or say you don't want to engage with it for such and such a reason that you actually have good reason to believe and then leave it there. That's how epistemology works.
Good job making up a quote, then knocking it down. You should totally spend your life energy getting into tangential argument that only you give a shit about.
...but maybe write 3 paragraphs next time.
I was directly quoting you and anyone can see the quoted section by going like three up this comment chain, what are you on about?
Okay, stay confidently incorrect in the Five Eyes corporate media bubble then 👍
Reason: Rule 2
Good luck with that, @Zagorath@aussie.zone
Yup. Clear violation of the rules.
You'll note I did not report comments I merely disagreed with. I reported the ones where you were clearly violating your own instance's rules by failing to be respectful with your interlocutor.
As for all those links. Absolutely irrelevant to the conversation at hand, which is about you violating instance-wide rules about respect.
