If something doesn't connect or make sense its possible they are using a fallacy, maybe even without knowing it.
AHHHHHHHHH RIP PUERTO RICO GOVERNOR
Yeah that’s true, I’ve seen people make fallacies on accident
It’s just annoying when it sounds good at first but then you think about it
Then it’s complete nonsense
Sometimes you have an idea or remember reading something and can't quite put it in words and end up slipping into a fallacy to get the point across easier.
Can't really blame too many people for doing it. Its just good to know when it happens to avoid getting persuaded wrongfully. This is the key to being a good consumer of information.
Well the only reason I out right didn’t like this guy is because he said that it was a battle
A way of humiliating me to prove me wrong
So everyone would just think I was retarded and move on
But when it comes to these things I always want to be heard out respectfully
So yeah I was pretty pissed about the whole thing
If he used a fallacy on purpose or not idk
But he did say that was his goal
The fact that you can think about it like that is good. To conceptualize it. Yeah it sucks that it has to be a "battle". That is totally feeding his ego right there, has nothing to do with learning or debating.
Well it’s whatever now, plus a lot of it was me being trash at debate
And I didn’t fully read into all of the topics we went over
Hey man, debate is totally about practice and learning/knowing the topics.
But he would just throw insults at me and I personally am not good with debating like that
Oh yeah, naw if he insults you that is a red flag.
That is actually the most common logical fallacy. Its called "Ad Hominem", an attack of the person. He attacked you and didn't attack your argument.
This was a while ago so I can’t remember the details
Well yeah he called me Dave Rubin
Which is just saying I don’t stand for anything
I was a wishy washy centrist etc
Then a reactionary
Actually I went ahead and looked up what bro reactionaries believe because of this
Neo reactionaries*
And it’s basically the opposite side of intersectional feminism. They like capitalism, nationalism and the “patriarchy” (church)
But obviously their terms are different and don’t match completely
GG @Deleted User, you just advanced to level 2!
Nothing wrong with a centrist. Centrist can mean you are open to anything. You don't need to make a decision until you know what you are deciding on.
Reactionary I think is extreme left. The furthest left. Radical left winger.
You must have said something really crazy to go from centrist to radical left in a few sentences haha.
I don’t know if I’m on board with that
Oh it was some retarded shit about dog whistles
Like memes are infecting the youth
Turning the kids alt right with Pepe
Stupid things like that
But no the reactionaries definitely call themselves right wing
Though right wing and left wing is a little vague I think I can call them right
