>>512050635 (OP)It's not possible to have a fair debate against institutional power, because its representative can endlessly appeal to legitimacy, authority and expertise, effectively deferring responsibility to know or understand the position they're debating to those who are not in the room and thus cannot be debated.
You've probably encountered the same rhetorical games arguing with faggots here. They'll throw some dubious link at you and claim that they have evidence so they win, and any attempt to dispute the content of the the link, no matter how questionable or patently, obviously false, is "cope." It works much better on an institutional level because they will smugly ask where YOUR studies and experts are, knowing full well the studies were shut down and its members persecuted, the experts vilified and chased out of their careers or jailed for wrongthink and all conversation outside of their narrow perspective suppressed.
No matter how skilled you are with rhetoric, logic and wordplay, and no matter how much reality backs your position, you aren't going to win a gunfight with a knife. These bread and circuses are designed to make one side look bad.
