Or maybe stop apologizing for cruel dictators. They don’t need your help, so don’t help them. This “to be fair” and “decorum” crap has gotten us to a point where children are being kidnapped and raped without consequence, and free speech has been eliminated. I know you aren’t trying to be part of the problem, but I’m here to tell you that you absolutely, unequivocally, are part of the problem.
Yeaaa, that’s pretty off base. You’re moving the goalposts. I just said it’s a crime to set fire to things on the sidewalk in a public and mentioned that it would be more responsible to do it with a metal bin or something.
All of this “apologizing for cruel dictators” “you are part of the problem” bullshit is nonsense bad faith strawman argument. You were looking for someone to fight with and went after me because it suits you to do so.
Picking fights like this with random people who agree with 98% of what you think because 2% of their opinions are different yours, is a right wingers wet dream. They love that you are doing this. They love that you would take time out of your day to attack your allies and further fracture resistance.
As a youth myself and friends lit many a thing on fire. Most were fireworks but there were other things and sometimes with a magnifying glass. Now these were rather small fires but none the less they were by and large allowed as no law was ever enforced in this regard although sometimes we were told to knock it off.
Just wanted to pop in to say all of this "master debater"ese is bullshit and people should stop taking those who endlessly rattle on about “goal posts” and logical fallacies seriously.
This isn’t fucking debate club nor is it Ben Shapiro.
I doubt anyone’s mind has ever been changed a single iota by this type of talk, and I find it pointless at best and fascist apologia at worst.
Friend, you’re on lemmy. You may only have extremist views with 0 nuance or else you’re a part of The Enemy™.
