@nonlinear_james@M_Kesselfieber The irony of your snide claim is that, if true, it means that “believing all women” has mathematically a 100% rate of falsely incarcerating innocent men
@DanManyika@Farida_N No, because the payments were not a stimulus check. The government was literally declaring that something formerly sold industrially like “18-wheelers” was illegal to use now. The payment wasn’t to thank the farmers, it was to avoid committing “theft” in historical narratives
@jjhendricksx@internetkyler@Boopa1219 They did not. If they had, they wouldn’t have stopped the streak of inventing with rap, and then created nothing else but more rap for a century. A genre built on sampling existing music into loops and “rhyming real good” is not where a race of music prodigies decide to finish
@Aameridoll@grok This is because I believe in free speech. It is a human right to express yourself to others, and a survival imperative for the human race that no one be given authority to declare speech can be punished when “harmful” (I.e. risky to people who cannot be seen as ‘wrong’ ever)
@DanManyika@Farida_N But you also believe that slavery was the only reason for industry existing (“built on the backs of slaves”). If the government suddenly crushed all food/civil production on disputed morals, despite the former total legality of owning slaves, the nation would collapse into war
@freeznutz@wode_maya So the people “stealing” your intelligent books of “facts” are themselves just demonstrating intelligence. Would you prefer they didn’t read at all to avoid learning “facts”? I doubt this, but it’s your own claim.
@untinakie@Aameridoll@grok What a claim. Most porn now is created by independent female OnlyFans performers, who brag about “easy money”. The nature has also changed dramatically, from classic “series of sex acts” to rampant “pretend to fuck dogs or be in kindergarten.” Women drove this, enthusiastically.
@TheCatFromMars@DOmowale so you were there? You saw the things that the abolitionists luridly claimed? The claims that made people morally obligated to abolish and condemn the exact practice the authors wanted abolished, the people they wanted condemned, while leveraging “my version wasn’t as bad.”
@SavvyWroteThat This is why your boogeyman of “racism” has zero power anymore. You want it to be an aura around blacks that literally means anything you want, so you can declare that everything you dislike is racism but only for you. Nobody cares about being called racist anymore.
@DanManyika@Farida_N That was not a consolidation prize or a reward. It was a choice to peacefully provide some financial authenticity (like a gun “buyback”) without forcing a civil war as suddenly every working farm and factory lost the units of labour they had paid for.
@VonMelena11751@WomenReadWomen How different is that really from how someone views Tom Cruise while watching Mission Impossible? No one is seriously thinking of an actor as “human” while watching them act. They’re thinking of them as a character, an object in a story.
@Petersbrooking@LolsysL@LoinDuTribu I’m probably not going to bring him up in conversation if that’s what you mean. He lived and died with zero significance, like most people. But he was black so you had to saddle him with first “genius” and now “sanctity”. And you do this not from naivety but from selfishness.
@Petersbrooking@LolsysL@LoinDuTribu … yes that’s what I just said. I don’t care what the people hired by Arday’s stooges have “concluded”, for the same reason I don’t care that cigarette companies’ lawyers “conclude” they are legally inculpable for lung cancer deaths.
@Petersbrooking@LolsysL@LoinDuTribu No, an inquiry has not proven anything. They have reached a conclusion that their client is blameless, and all of their client’s political enemies should suffer whatever punishment their client feels appropriate. They have concluded their employers, who pay them, are correct
@Petersbrooking@LolsysL@LoinDuTribu … you think I’m “making up” the claim that appeal to authority is a fallacy?
Well I mean that makes sense, considering the clueless character you seem to be. I didn’t expect you to take the bit to such a comical degree though. You know you can just put it into Google, right?
@Petersbrooking@LolsysL@LoinDuTribu Why would I do that? I don’t need to conceal the truth with a shameless appeal to authority (aka a fallacy). If you want my source as to why that’s a fallacy, once again I don’t have a “source”, it simply is a fallacy because it meets the definition of a fallacy.
