@ColterL "laid down its arms" lol. The PLO maintained and actually expanded its forces and arsenal in southern Lebanon throughout the ceasefire, including the artillery and rockets that were Israel's stated justification for acting. They also didn't offer to recognize Israel in 1981.

@RevJohnBrowndnw @labotimy @Qwertyfortie @hutchinson You're just wrong.

“Any government action is socialism” → not a serious definition in modern discourse.

@hutchinson @mehdirhasan @SarahLongwell25 @shannonrwatts Mehdi Hasan is not your ally hutch. He does not share your political goals, he is at least as dishonest as Hasan

@hutchinson @Dathremo I don't think you can say that just because Sweden and other European countries abandoned the wealth tax, it's a bad policy. In Norway we have chosen to keep the wealth tax. Sweden is the worst in the Nordics at fighting inequality, because of its taxes https://t.co/mo1Ex0mDsB

@PiscoLitty @hutchinson Well, OK, I can't prove you wrong, but I strongly disagree. I think most people will hear "literally in the IDF" as implying more than volunteer work with no military activities.

Either way, I think that implication is the core of the real disagreement you and Hutch have.

[boxdreper @x658366]

@PiscoLitty @hutchinson So why are you carving out a special exception for this particular statement, if truth is generally not enough for a statement not to be misleading? It seems very ad hoc. Don't you see how people will easily read "literally in the IDF" as implying military service in the IDF?

[boxdreper @x658366]

@PiscoLitty @hutchinson Aha, so according to you, any statement that is technically true, is by definition not misleading? Because it only turns on whether the statement is true? Right? So for example, I can say "I studied at Harvard" if I did a 1-week course there, and that's not misleading?

[boxdreper @x658366]

@PiscoLitty @hutchinson No. I strongly doubt Hutch is interested in whether Kyle's statement can be defended from a "literal analytical truth" perspective. When he asks you whether you co-sign Kyle's language, he's asking you whether or not you understand how misleading the statement is.

[boxdreper @x658366]

@PiscoLitty @hutchinson Hutch is making a point about journalistic standards and how statements are interpreted in practice, while you're reducing it to a narrow semantic claim (debate bro much?)

Kyle's statement isn’t accurate in the relevant sense: it leads people to form a misleading impression.

[boxdreper @x658366]

@hutchinson @PiscoLitty We already know you two think very differently about what responsibility content creators have with regard to their audience, following this conversation https://t.co/IIBBqtDJf7

[boxdreper @x658366]

@PiscoLitty @hutchinson Yes, it's a *technically* defensible statement. Hutch is obviously talking about how normal people would understand the statement "Shapiro was literally in the IDF".

He's asking you if you think that statement gives normal people an accurate understanding of the facts.

[boxdreper @x658366]

@aeonofbarbelo @joymogging @hutchinson No, it's:

Before election : you are not necessary we will do it without you

After election: you are not necessary and we will do it without you, but you better shut up about liberals not doing enough to fight Trump when you couldn't even do the bare minimum and vote against him

@itsfobri Any reason why the microphone wouldn't work on Linux? My friend who runs Linux can't talk to us in the game but when he chooses one specific mic we other players HEAR OURSELVES through his mic, but we can't hear when he speaks 😂

@hutchinson It's called the Nirvana fallacy! https://t.co/DQdDvtxulK

@Th3_WhiteRabbit @prl4124 @hutchinson Whether you call yourself a republican or not doesn't matter. You obviously don't care about the negative consequences of Trump winning and are happy he won.

[boxdreper @x658366]

@Th3_WhiteRabbit @prl4124 @hutchinson Ah, so you are a republican. Makes sense.

@hutchinson I made a video expanding on this: https://t.co/y9LTv5OvFz

@hutchinson I'm usually with you on voting for the better alternative, but when it's 99% Hitler vs 100% Hitler, isn't it time to stop participating in the system? I know it's a hypothetical, but I don't think you do your argument any favors by having no limits.

[Barack Obama @BarackObama]

Today, the Trump administration repealed the endangerment finding: the ruling that served as the basis for limits on tailpipe emissions and power plant rules. Without it, we’ll be less safe, less healthy and less able to fight climate change — all so the fossil fuel industry can make even more money.
