Geek On The Right

Conservative opinions about geeky stuff. Or just conservative ideas. Or just geekery. Be warned, my politics lack filter.

Still might show up now and then, but I’m not going to engage like i have been. So long, hope everyone stays #MAGA strong. I plan to, I’ll just not being writing about it as much.

At the end of the day, #adhominem can’t be reasoned with. I actually got on @Twitter because I wanted to be a part of the fight but there is no fighting madness with reason.

So, in an effort to regain more control of my life, I’m deleting twitter and facebook from my phone.

I need to put my family first. Maybe I’ll publish my thoughts in a book format later but for now I’ll focus on my family and my business. Maybe I’ll come back to the trenches later, but I honestly haven’t seen much of my insight changing minds: either they agree or dismiss.

@sammideedub @DineshDSouza This is like claiming the earth is flat and your only evidence is “here is a list of 151 professors who also believe the world is flat.”

[Geek On The Right @GeekOnTheRight]

@sammideedub @DineshDSouza No, I’m suggesting the study of history should be based on facts, not credentials. If all doctors are healers because they went to school, why is there malpractice?

[Geek On The Right @GeekOnTheRight]

@sammideedub @DineshDSouza So, and I’m honestly wondering, what do you want me to rebut? This is a list of historians who disagree with @DineshDSouza. There is no rebut because I dislike #adhominem attacks and the tweet makes no claim to actual evidence outside of “its not just me, but 151 that disagree.”

[Geek On The Right @GeekOnTheRight]

@sammideedub @DineshDSouza I thought debate was about issues and facts, not the level of a person’s education. I didn’t say “Dinesh is right because he has a degree,” I said his facts are correct and his sources are solid.

[Geek On The Right @GeekOnTheRight]

@sammideedub @DineshDSouza The fact you believe this is strange because my actual query is “you gonna keep attacking me and @DineshDSouza? Or are you gonna give an actual reputed fact so we can debate an issue outside of #adhominem?”

[Geek On The Right @GeekOnTheRight]

@sammideedub @DineshDSouza I have asked you to change my mind, just like I asked everyone else. Not a single person has provided anything beyond anecdotes and insults. Is this how you think debate works?

[Geek On The Right @GeekOnTheRight]

@sammideedub @DineshDSouza I vet sources to determine if they are factual. Do you believe everything you hear without question? I don’t, like to find out if someone has reliable data.

[Geek On The Right @GeekOnTheRight]

@sammideedub @DineshDSouza You came to me, told me I’m wrong. When I asked for specifics, YOU were unable to present any.

[Geek On The Right @GeekOnTheRight]

@valor_nash @DineshDSouza Not ignored, refutted. Their “evidence” they cited was circular, nearly all of them leading to documents by those same historians. It’s called #Beggingthequestion, and it is a logical fallacy.

I am asking for evidence, based on data, not anecdotes.

[Geek On The Right @GeekOnTheRight]

@sammideedub @DineshDSouza I’ll give you the same challenge I’ve given everyone else and ask you to put your money where your mouth is: I assert @DineshDSouza’s research is factual. It is now your turn. Which part of his research is not factual?

[Geek On The Right @GeekOnTheRight]

@LucarioDoT @pcarenza @DineshDSouza You do realize @DineshDSouza is a leading proponent of #Capitalism, right?

Let me ask you (and everyone else): do you work for free? If you don’t, shut up unless you are willing to make the same sacrifice.

[Geek On The Right @GeekOnTheRight]

@JVillesvik @pcarenza @DineshDSouza I never did, and no one I knew did, for Obama taking money for speeches. The only time I think I’ve gotten indignant over money and speeches is Bill Clinton getting paid by Moscow while his wife was selling #UraniumOne.

[Geek On The Right @GeekOnTheRight]

@pcarenza @DineshDSouza Right, because getting paid to do something proves that he’s wrong.

[Geek On The Right @GeekOnTheRight]

@sputnik1212 @DineshDSouza You're the one who started this. I'm only asking you provide evidence instead of nebulous fluff.
