  • oh my god it was beautiful

    it was nearly an argument and then it just crashed and burned so quickly, and it was so clearly meant to be some kind of coup de grâce

    reasoning about the actual mechanics, and thinking through their implications

    okay so if a person grows up in the wrong environment, and so they reason about the actual mechanics, and think through the implications in a way that you don’t like, it’s bad

    but when they do it and get an answer that you do like, it’s good

    the only difference between the two scenarios is your personal opinion on their conclusion







  • *taps the sign*

    Donald Trump, a fascist, is currently polling about equally with his opponent, who is not a fascist, because while his policies are fascist, he isn’t describing them as such. People are willingly voting for them because they think they’re a good idea.

    If he campaigned on “I am a fascist”, he would not be polling equally with his opponent.

    Please explain how these two ideas put together aren’t an example of what you advocate for in your post.

    You’ll also notice that me referencing polling figures doesn’t mean that I agree with the outcome of polling. Absolutely shocking that I need to make this clarification, but there we go, I suppose.

    Or, you know, continue desperately avoiding making an actual argument because of how obvious it is that you accidentally made a pro-fascism, pro-eugenics post and for some reason can’t accept that fact.








  • also to preempt pls nobody do the intellectually dishonest thing of pretending me following this line of argument means im in love with eugenics and am here to argue for more eugenics or that i just dont think eugenics is such a bad thing after all thnk u

    wow you did the thing well done

    you made a bad argument, it’s okay

    if your argument was good you wouldn’t be working so hard to avoid defending it like you are
