There's a trick I see people use disingenuously during online discourse that I you urge to spot and not fall for
Its when someone dismisses a legitimate concern by arguing that other, supposedly more serious problems deserve attention
It's called the 'FALLACY OF RELATIVE PRIVATION'
Say you raise a concern about potholes on a road you use often and you post about it. A random user will come and say that at a time when people are starving and there's no medicine in hospitals how dare you speak about potholes
The reason why it's fallacious and most of the time not done in good faith is
1. The existence of a greater problem does not invalidate a lesser one
2. If only the most serious problem deserves attention, virtually every concern can be dismissed by identifying something worse.
3. Society can address multiple problems simultaneously.
4. It's often a veiled trick to shift from the merits of the argument to whether the issue even deserves to be discussed at all
@WilliamsRuto I was diagnosed with cancer soon after you were declared president. I have always wondered whether there is a link. Before I die, I want to know, how much money and land do you need, and how much suffering do you want to inflict on Kenyans before you die?
Is this the plan?
1. Kill agriculture
2. Kill the informal economy
3. Kill SMEs
4. Defund education and health
5. Kill the people
6. Share land and loot with foreign corporates.
It's either the courts nulify this or we go back to the streets, mambo ni mawili, they're playing very dirty games with our future. The same MPs who passed the Finance bill know they don't stand a chance to be reelected in a free and fair election, they won't gamble with us banah
I remain a Man U fan but I’m taking a break from watching our games or expecting anything from our games may God help our team i wish everyone on the team the best Man U for life
