      If the person is nervous about legitimate abuses in AES, then I do my best to make sure those abuses are accurately highlighted. Here’s an example of me doing just that. I’m not going to pivot the conversation to a different area just to highlight unrelated flaws, though, that’s off-topic and rhetorically bad. Surely you can see that, right?

      Like, yes, Stalin outlawing gay marriage was bad, indisputably. Bolsheviks that were pro-gay marriage like Kollontai should have been listened to. I don’t need to insert that or other critiques into every comment, though.
