The person responsible for a rape is the rapist. That's true regardless of where someone stands on gun rights.
But more importantly, what does this have to do with the topic we're discussing? It seems like every time the conversation gets uncomfortable, it gets redirected into a completely different argument.
The fact that you had to leave the conversation, find a comment from another thread, and bring it back here kind of proves my point. If it applied so perfectly, you'd be addressing the topic being discussed instead of changing the subject.
What's sad is that it feels like you have to rely on these distraction tactics constantly instead of engaging with the actual points being made.
@FlipOffFelix@stilessly7@joeroganhq Quoting my words out of context from another conversation doesn't address the topic here. If you disagree with the point being made, address the point. Otherwise it's just another distraction.
@FlipOffFelix@stilessly7@joeroganhq That's not a response to the post. It's just an attempt to redirect the conversation.(FOLLOW THE PATTERN)
Do you have anything to say about the meme itself, or are we changing topics because it's easier?
If the quality of political ideas is measured by meme production, you've set the bar remarkably low for a civilization.
For someone lecturing others about memes, this looks like a blurry stock photo generated in less than 30 seconds on a free meme site. Where's the creativity? Where's the actual point beyond "my team good, your team bad"?
Having an answer and having a good answer aren't the same thing. Anyone can answer a question. The quality of the answer is what matters.
I've met thoughtful liberals, thoughtful conservatives, and plenty of people on both sides who couldn't explain their own views. Reducing millions of people to one stereotype usually tells us more about the speaker than the group being described.
@stilessly7@FlipOffFelix@joeroganhq That sounds like blind loyalty to me. The moment you decide one side is always right and the other is always wrong, you've stopped following evidence and started following a team.
@FlipOffFelix@joeroganhq That is the part that caught your attention? Not Epstein in the background, not the sacrifice imagery, not the broader message?
You kind of proved my point. You saw exactly what you were conditioned to see and ignored everything else.
Try following the pattern.
@Jenna_bee__@Gameneewws@joeroganhq No, those are sources. The conclusions you're drawing from them are your opinion. Calling it "the truth" doesn't magically make everyone who disagrees an idiot.
@Jenna_bee__@Gameneewws@joeroganhq Calling your opinion "the truth" doesn't make it the truth. And calling me an idiot isn't an argument. It's just what you say when you've run out of one.
