Blocking is overtly stating your intellectual deficiency & cognitive defectiveness.

@faustiod1@nkulw Most people are driven by a pathetic need to be accepted.
This is why the left lives on optics.
Their principles, morals, & ethics are unanchored & ever-changing to fit the mold that will afford them the vantage point of public perception.
They don't know true goodness.
@DoyenDavids7@newodec@BreeNewsome Rwandan genocide, South Sudanese civil war, Somali civil war, Zimbabwe hyperinflation, Nigerian coups, Burundi civil war, Liberian civil wars, Sierra Leone civil war, Darfur conflict, Ituri conflict, Kivu conflict, Uganda's bush war...
Sprinkle corruption on these & more, too.
@BreeNewsome Absolutely doable.
But, always remember that to get there, certain events must take place first.
Your side's victory isn't guaranteed, very good chance you yourself won't even make it to see who wins.
So, be careful what you wish for.
@pb_and_jaybird ADVANCED biology exists to explain the mechanisms, edge cases, & atypical developmental outcomes that occur within the framework established by BASIC biology.
Discovering deviations from a rule is not the same thing as replacing/invalidating the rule.

@megevhan@radfemsiren I mean, I don't understand the point about the CoD comment.
I understood the point of the original meme, which is why I called the CoD comment a false equivalence.
You’re treating “I understood the words” and “the analogy logically tracks” as the same thing.
They aren’t.
@CorbinHams@radfemsiren I've had far too many positively impactful female relationships & role models in my life to just believe that.
But, the shit you see on socials as acceptable discourse/ideas is fucking baffling.
@megevhan@radfemsiren I’m sure it does.
I never said it was unintelligible. I said it was incoherent.
Incoherence can refer to a lack of logical continuity, not merely a lack of comprehensibility.
Don’t equivocate between the two.
@adamgreeney@JustinBeAbel@Logically_JC I think we're just talking past each other at this point.
The points of contention were “a single man isn’t paying taxes” and “families pay more than a single dude.”
Now it’s about daycare, schools, and homeownership.
We agree that households have higher expenses.
@adamgreeney@JustinBeAbel@Logically_JC We're not in disagreement on expenses. I'm not going to tell you families don't have higher spend.
However, you're conflating tax burden with household expenses.
"A single man isn't paying taxes", "Families pay more than a single dude".
Both are categorically wrong.
@megevhan@radfemsiren Actually the original post about women's literature is about experiencing arousal from themes they otherwise find objectionable or wrong in society.
A true equivalency would be a person who is an avid anti-war pacifist getting horny at erotic literature about war.
@adamgreeney@JustinBeAbel@Logically_JC You’re changing the subject.
The claim wasn’t that families have higher expenses. It was that they pay more in taxes. At equal income, married couples and parents generally receive tax advantages that reduce their tax burden relative to single filers.
Why distort what I said?
