    all of them are a useless insult used to avoid addressing the point

      No, you’re completely wrong. It’s entirely fair to tell people when they unwittingly reflect state department talking points.

      Why shouldn’t you? Because it hurts your feelings to discover you’re eating dogshit, not chocolate? Who cares? Stop eating dogshit.

      The other two are just fantasy.

        because a talking point of some state department isn’t inherently right or wrong, rather you should evaluate the point on its own merit
