Who cares about informal fallacies

make an argument already

Sorry but nobody here knows anything about Islam.

The only one that does is @fuck12moredeadcops

If we delve into Islamic theology, we'll have to discuss the different schools.

And different doctrines.

@Deleted User Not really, read the critique of Christianity from might is right.

Moorean shift to presuppose naturalism <:kek:538084230408830987>

Pelth you don't go to school, don't make it seem like you're smarter than what you already are.

Nice to see he continues to lie.

P1) Religious fundamentalists of every religion are uneducated morons
P2) ?????
P3) Therefore, religious fundamentalists are uneducated morons

Oh so you must be in the lowest division I see.

What subjects do you take? @Pelth

Sophie is making the point that religious fundies can be found anywhere, and since they are uneducated, we should not have them represent the religion or the other followers of said religion.

What did you learn on terrorism?

Oh.

I agree.

If you read "Why Nations Fail", you'll see why pluralistic nations are more economically prosperous.

correlation does not imply causation.

No, have you read the book?

It's not based on progressive standards.

How is "economically prosperous" based on progressive standards?

In WNF, they explain that it's hardly because of culture or geography that nations fail, but because of their political institutions.

No, that book does not talk about that.

In the book, one example made is N. Korea and S. Korea, where the former is worlds apart from its counterpart. N.Korea is an isolationist homogenous nation because of famine, political repression and changing economic institutions. Whereas in S. Korea, they've made a society that supplied incentives, rewarded innovation, and allowed everyone to participate in economic opportunities. The economic success thus caused was sustained because the government became accountable and responsive to its citizens.

Hence why a mix of command and free market is good

The state creates incentives for people to invest/innovate, this is supplied through funding of education and infrastructure, and the state is held accountable by its citizens rather than a monopoly that is handled by a small elite. People in politics must establish institutions and laws which work for the majority of people. I agree with some of this.

The authors say that countries like UK and USA are wealthy because their citizens overthrew the elites who controlled power and created a society where political rights were much more broadly distributed, whilst a country like Egypt was ruled by a narrow elite. Even though Egypt also went through the revolution in the Arab Spring, it was not the same thing because the people they put into power afterwards did not give the citizens more political rights or made it possible for everyone to participate in economic opportunities.

@Platinum Spark Gentile's fascism is true fascism

Picture an authoritarian fascist state, you do know that the *unsuccessful people who comes from a place of weakness* will be the first to be trampled on first? @Platinum Spark

Why would they want that, then?

They clearly can't if you say their problems are them being weak.

Why have they been rejected?

Somebody would infer that it's because of them not being able to keep up with society.

ok

yo wassup bro

Yeah yeah I'm good

just getting back into my servers

No no my old account got disabled

Fascism is basically Giovanni Gentile's idea

and the best book you'll find for that is The Theory of Mind as Pure Act, his book on it. It's the political application of his "actual idealism".

Lool people who call trump fascist are stupid

Trump is literally a classical liberal

That's what most modern day American conservatives are

How are you defining fascist here?

With Gentile's fascism most people can be fascist

A sort of communal recognition of the value of our human condition as the actor in achieving something. Basically it's a way to find a binding agent for us, and in my view that binding agent is culture, nationality, race, etc. But for maybe another person, it could be the human species as a whole. < fascism in my view

Those are just political schools of fascism. I don't think people understand the fact that America was created on classical liberalism, that's literally its core. Trump, being prideful in being an American, abides by the constitution and protects what classical liberalism strives for; freedom.

And yes, that does mean protecting the rights of speech for fringe groups.

This is what Antifa don't understand.

They're literally rallying against conservative groups who are classical liberals.

Not the alt-right.

Antifa's tactics of calling people 'nazi' will eventually make that person more aggressive against them because of counter culture.

Even Karl Popper who came up with the "paradox of tolerance" that leftists like to use, said that one should debate with fringe groups, not shut them out completely with violence.

Idk might be

National Socialist != Nazi

Boumediene was a natsoc but was not nazi.

Why are you a socialist? Planned economies are shit @Alexstrasza

Ok

@qwasi consensus is not a logical fallacy

Argumentum ad populum is a informal fallacy

Meaning it focuses on the content

Not the structure of the argument

That would be a formal fallacy

And a formal fallacy is a logical fallacy.

You Christians are so uninteresting

I have a better time debating muslims

And dharmic faiths have way better philosophies

Sorry bro @Combat Wombat

<:kek:538084230408830987>

It supports the argument that the contrary is more improbable, as experts in the field who study it are in support. @qwasi

Why are you skeptical of the consensus? @qwasi
