@DaltonJoven@ProudSocialist I'm open to starting fresh though.
Three ground rules:
- Claims require demonstration - Define key terms before using them
- If your position changes acknowledge it explicitly
Any suggestions?
@DaltonJoven@ProudSocialist You keep calling me names and making claims with no evidence whatsoever.
I quoted your exact words back to you, responded to every specific claim you made, and asked the same questions repeatedly that you never answered.
You can literally check the thread yourself.
@AlenMathew89198@maxstephhh You also said the WC confirmed their quality and didn't create it, but their valuations, club interest, and global recognition were all created post-tournament.
That's literally the definition of "World Cup effect" I was referencing.
@AlenMathew89198@maxstephhh Brighton and Benfica made them good players, not world-class.
World-class means one of the best in the world, which wasn't the case before the tournament. If the quality was already there and confirmed, why did it take a World Cup for elite clubs to notice?
Price came after WC
@AlenMathew89198@maxstephhh Brother, before the World Cup. How are you gonna use Alvarez's 4 world cup goals to prove how good of a player he was lmao.
The players got a huge boost after winning the world cup, and its crazy to call this a world-class squad now as it was not widely seen this way beforehand.
@ConquerEgregore@coldsnowman4@AntisepticMoose If Edomites joined Judah by Hyrcanus and were part of the Jewish people in Jesus’ day, how do you now separate real Judahites from them?
Jesus’ own line was through that Judah. Who verifies the true 12 tribes today?
@DaltonJoven@ProudSocialist The irony of you asking me to demonstrate is insane, and I already did anyways but you didn't dispute them. You demand demonstrations while never providing any yourself.
Where are the strawmen? Where's the proof my claims are bullshit?
@DaltonJoven@ProudSocialist The equivocation is yours. Explain where specifically.
And where I live has nothing to do with whether historical record defines a theory.
@theliminalqueen@FarmingWithYHWH@vaultboay@NickRebornTV Fair enough, my bad for assuming. Respect you supporting your top creators.
For the lighter ones, Premium only gives them pennies after Google's cut. It mostly benefits the platform that constrains creators.
It's convenience, not a big moral stand for the long tail.
@DaltonJoven@ProudSocialist You said, "communist states have a consistent record of atrocity, more so than capitalist."
That's you accepting historical record as the standard and just arguing about degree.
Either historical record defines the theory or it doesn't. You can't use it selectively.
@DaltonJoven@ProudSocialist You say my claims are bullshit but don't explain how. You call it strawmanning but don't show where.
Who has the monkey brain with a low IQ exactly?
@theliminalqueen@FarmingWithYHWH@vaultboay@NickRebornTV If you're watching that many creators, Premium splits so thin that most get pennies after Google's 45% cut. Barely better than ads.
Direct support your top ones if you care about them getting paid + independent.
Premium is just convenience. Stop with the moral posturing.
In Canada, your tax money goes to funding propaganda accounts on social media. Every post from this profile is just straight up lying to you about Bill C-22 and its consequences.
The bill can force any business that so much as touches the internet in Canada to store metadata about what you do for a year, so that law enforcement can have access to it if needed.
This is like saying "No no, the police aren't watching you through your windows and writing down everything you do... they're just forcing your landlord to install cameras in each room and keep a year of footage so that if police ever need to check, the evidence exists."
