There's nothing irrational about that...

@Marcdoof If one defines moral realism as "having toenails", all people with toenails are that

It's vacuous and silly

But... again

You can arrive on truth of any proposition if you're going to redefine the term based on the language game

@Methode where is muh empirics

also shame on ya'll for your treatment of syllogisms

I’m sad

It was your claim

You literally flipped tooics

My question was for you to provide empirics

That the us has net increased destabilization in the region

While it's a truism in leftist discourse

The evidence for it Is pretty lacking

you said you were getting me evidence for the claim you made that the war and subsequent occupation were good for our economy

now you're backing off that claim?

That was a good 30 minutes after you changed topics

that's the empirics i'm looking for

The original conversation we were having ass you depending the claim we destabilized the region

and you said it was something easy to find

I never claimed invading Iraq was good

https://www.cnn.com/2013/03/19/opinion/iraq-war-oil-juhasz/index.html

Before the 2003 invasion, Iraq's domestic oil industry was fully nationalized and closed to Western oil companies. A decade of war later, it is largely privatized and utterly dominated by foreign firms.

ok?

Now answer the question I asked you over thirty minutes before the "is the iraq war good" Exchange took place

Whats the évidence that the us had net destablizdd the région that isn't speculation from specific incidents

so this is the evidence that the iraq war was good for our economy?

I asked you for evidence first

I'm not answering anything else until you provide it

that's fine if you are backing off the claim you made, which was the interesting part

Sure
