Donald Trump said Sunday that if no peace deal is reached with Iran in the next 48 hours, “we’re blowing up the entire country.”
The president made the threat Sunday to ABC News’ senior political correspondent Rachel Scott in response to a question regarding whether his previously stated timeline of two to three weeks for a deal was still accurate.
Concerns have been raised about targeting civilian infrastructure in Iran and the consequences that could bring.
“You can only care about Gaza if you pass my morality test. Don’t worry no matter what you did, I’ll arbitrarily judge it as not enough.”
Congratulations you defeated the strawman you created.
I asked for a minimal (do you do anything or is it just a rhetorical device?) not any kind of maximal (pass my morality test).
I pointed out the ludicrousness of your morality arguements. You want to talk rhetorical fallacies you’ve created a character arguement and set yourself as the only judge.
You threw out the facts and changed the arguement to be about the commentors’ morality, as you perceive it.
Don’t pretend to care about fallacies when your own hypocrisy is pointed out
The moral argument I made is precisely this:
That’s the fact, visible to anyone just a few posts up the thread. Nothing thrown away.
From this you assumed that I was setting up a different kind of gotcha, where I would instantly dismiss as not enough anything the other party would say. That’s your assumption, not what I said. The fallacy you accuse me of requires your assumption, does not stand on what I wrote alone. That in turn is exactly a strawman fallacy.
And yet you still choose to ignore the fallacy in setting up a morality test in the first place. Astonishing
You sidestep everything else (so, do you retract the assumption of a gotcha?) which is … moving the goalposts fallacy.
But let’s talk about the new goalposts. I did not set up the “test” in the first place. In the first place was a cheap moralistic finger wagging point about the tired cliché regarding supposed single issue voters refusing to back Harris. My “test” was precisely challenging the cheapness of that moralistic finger wagging.
So no, I didn’t do anything “in the first place”.
Any more bad faith one liner comebacks?
No I’m absolutely confident you setup a gotcha, but I deprived you the chance to use it by refusing to engage in it.
No goalposts were moved, nice try though.
Sure whatever.
