Well I’m not wrong in what I said about fallacies, but yeah, sure.

Enjoy your weekend.

I could but I don’t want to

"I totally have a girlfriend. No you wouldn’t know her, she’s Canadian. "

(See this is a strawman, much like the one you used earlier itt.)

Confidently idiotic people irk me.

Me2 man. Perhaps stop being one?

You’re the type who first of all sees these things as competitions, (“take the L, bro”), secondly, you think all you have to do to “win” a debate is to point out a fallacy.

You’re probably in the camp of people who think insults mean ad hominem? :D

You started this thread with a strawman you then claim isn’t a strawman, because of the intent you had while making it+

Oh now I realise what you’re doing. You genuinely think I’m as intellectually lazy and ingenuine as you, so you think I too am trying to bullshit my way through this?

I can refer back to any comment. Like the one which you try to assert that me pointing out your strawman… is a strawman?

Okay then. What’s the weak version of the argument I made to attack, and oh yeah, what argument is it that I’m trying to attack in the first place?

Oh you don’t have one, or have to come up with them, post hoc? It is somewhat amusing.

See, now you’re in “the spiral”. You can’t address the actual thing you said anymore, have expressed that you feel like you’re “wasting time”, but for some reason, you feel like you have to keep replying, despite having to resort to spamming memes.

It’s okay to just leave a thread, you know?

Perhaps if you didn’t treat conversations as competitions, you might actually learn what those fallacies you never read about actually mean.

Trump is Putin’s bumboy and will do anything he says.

I was born in the 80’s but never have I ever considered myself an “80’s kid”, because that’s not really a meme, as much as all “only 90’s kids will remember”.

Larp all you want, that won’t make your comment at the top of this thread be any less fallacious.

Me pointing out that it was fallacious, which it is, doesn’t mean I’m engaging in the argument. It just means I’m tired of people like you larping they know philosophy when they can barely be bothered to skim the Wikipedia entries on the subject.

I’m not wasting time. I’m enjoying my time on Lemmy. Aren’t you?

“You can’t censor Nazis without jeopardising everything journalism is about.”

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slippery_slope

And you can and should, btw, censor Nazis. Or you’ll end up like Dumbfuckistan.

Edit: What happens if Australia’s equivalent of Donald Trump gets in office and enact the policy mentioned above?

See because they have reasonable limits on supporting fascism publicly, there’s less of it going around, so they don’t exactly have an equivalent demented child-raping fascist to vote for.

It’s also more complex than “they sanctioned someone who is adamant about being a literal nazi, so we have to go show support to fascism”.

Germany learned their lesson 80 years ago. The US thinks anything goes. And how is that going, recently?

Even with the absolutist free speech the US is known for, there are still reasonable limitations to it. Like fighting words and yelling fire in a crowded theatre.

You understand things are complex yet advocate for something absolute? O.o

First off, with all this philosophy larping, there’s a thing called “the fallacy fallacy”, which states it’ fallacious to imply someone is wrong simply because their logic was fallacious.

Secondly, me reminding you of how these things work doesn’t mean I’m suddenly “defending a false claim”, especially not with strawmen.

You think if you can justify a strawman, it isn’t one.

That’s not how it works.

“This number is meaningless”

That’s what you said.

Even if it’s just of verified deaths, then you can still double the victim number, and still have 35% of the victims be women and children.

So is the number truly meaningless, or are you saying “it’s meaningless” just as an attempt to downplay the genocide Israel is committing?

I’m gonna refer back to my earlier comment

Two wrongs don’t make a right.

That’s a bad analogy.

I don’t give a fuck what you think

This is merely a small beginning of it.

Fucking Neo-Hitlers
