This is another one he did, which I actually thought was pretty clever. He was arguing with me about something and he was like "you say family is important, but... " My natural instinct was to say "I didn't say that". Not that I was arguing that it's *un*important, it's just that... I didn't say that. This gave him an excuse to freak out and be like "so you're saying it's not important?!?!?!"

tpuk is struggling to find white people to quote I guess

2019-02-05 04:46:52 UTC  

His argument tactics are so Talmudic lmao

@Jacob Collectivism and socialism aren't bad, as long as it's not Marxism

2019-02-05 04:48:03 UTC  

NeoCons, Dubya, and Israel-Firsters not only soured me on the right wing for fifteen years it also contributed to my early/mid 2000s fedora atheist phase.

@ophiuchus Shouldn't a strawman actually be kind of hard to detect, though? He literally makes up quotes by me and tells me that I said them. What exactly does that accomplish when I can just say I didn't say that?

2019-02-05 04:48:57 UTC  

A strawman is just framing the argument as something it isn’t, that thing it isn’t being easier to topple

2019-02-05 04:49:31 UTC  

ya but I mean strawmen should be convincing

2019-02-05 04:49:42 UTC  

Eh

2019-02-05 04:49:45 UTC  

It’s like

2019-02-05 04:49:51 UTC  

Now I realize that I didn't hate God, or my nation. I hated people using both for their own interests against our own.

A logical integral transform

2019-02-05 04:50:35 UTC  

my dad would actually make a really good shitposter

2019-02-05 04:51:02 UTC  

I should make him a Twitter account and follow a bunch of irony bros

2019-02-05 04:51:41 UTC  

Your dad should go on chapo

2019-02-05 04:53:34 UTC  

he should debate Richard Spencer

2019-02-05 04:54:00 UTC  

"Mr Spencer, you say you're a conservative, but..."

2019-02-05 04:54:01 UTC  

Jacob's dad debates RS on Chapo

2019-02-05 04:55:09 UTC  

You say that the demographics will doom the GOP, but can you explain this BASED black guy?

2019-02-05 04:58:21 UTC  

honestly though I'm kinda glad I had the opportunity to debate my dad growing up

2019-02-05 04:58:31 UTC  

makes it much easier to stay calm

2019-02-05 04:59:36 UTC  

he just *constantly* straw mans and flings ad hominems so most leftists actually seem pretty chill in comparison

"Jacob, you say you're a dreamer, but you're not the only one"

2019-02-05 05:00:52 UTC  

“Son, you say you’re Jacob,”

2019-02-05 05:03:46 UTC  

I don't why people use that graph to say that Republics are further left on economics

2019-02-05 05:04:04 UTC  

doesn't it look that way because of the way the margins are drawn?

2019-02-05 05:05:24 UTC  

you could just as easily put a bunch of blank space on the left and arbitrarily draw the center further left

2019-02-05 05:05:40 UTC  

@Nemets saving to hard drive now.

2019-02-05 05:05:42 UTC  

thanks

2019-02-05 05:06:47 UTC  

look at all that socially conservative blue

2019-02-05 05:07:07 UTC  

more than liberal red

2019-02-05 05:10:32 UTC  

I think that graph is telling that the overton window needs to be shifted more to the right 😎

2019-02-05 05:10:53 UTC  

economically, though?

2019-02-05 05:11:02 UTC  

idk if were really on that graph

2019-02-05 05:11:21 UTC  

were on the z axis

2019-02-05 05:11:43 UTC  

We’re an eclectic group, for sure. I don’t have to underscore the commonality for you though.

2019-02-05 05:13:04 UTC  

transcend the x y graph and rise western man

2019-02-05 05:13:11 UTC  

We could just create a new party...eventually.

2019-02-05 05:13:35 UTC  

I think everyone here understands that no matter your detailed social or economic positions, it’s almost pointless to try to rectify society in those ways when the central premise is as flawed as multiculturalism.

Lets call it "The Milquetoast Opinions of Some of The Founding Fathers'" Party
