    Again, not popular anymore at that point.

    It was literally at the peak of the Bund’s popularity - which is pretty damning for anyone claiming that they were popular.

    To prove the point you seem to ba making, you’d need to find a quote that backs the notion they were never popular

    So when someone claims that the Bund was popular, citing an event, and I cite the actual details of that same event showing that the accusation of popularity is highly dubious, the burden of proof is on me.

    Is that what you’re saying?

    Op claims they were popular for a while and then not. You seem to take evidence from the “then not” part of the story and seemingly use it to prove they were never popular

    I didn’t realize “When the biggest event they ever manage to have is outnumbered by counterprotesters 5-1 maybe they just aren’t that popular in the country” was such a huge leap of logic.

      According to the article and specially the first quote you took from it, it was not. Their popularity was declining and the event was a response to that

      So when someone claims that the Bund was popular, citing an event, and I cite the actual details of that same event showing that the accusation of popularity is highly dubious, the burden of proof is on me.

      No, the claim was that the movement was popular and then declined. You cannot take half a claim and make it whole

      So if I claim Michael Jackson was blank and then turned white, you cannot show pics when he was already white and claim he was never black

      I didn’t realize “When the biggest event they ever manage to have is outnumbered by counterprotesters 5-1 maybe they just aren’t that popular in the country” was such a huge leap of logic.

      I think I will explained that already bud
