    Genuinely why I hate anti-america/anti-capitalism propaganda based off lies. You don’t need to lie when just telling the truth is damning. The lies just undermine everything when they’re exposed, makes people question even the facts.

      I’ve said this to people so many times, and they get all up in arms making strawman arguments about how I’m supposedly in favor of the thing they’re against.

      Like, no, if I thought you were flat out wrong and I had a differing opinion then I would tell you that. If I critique your argument on the grounds that it weakens itself by relying on misinformation, then chances are I probably agree on the bigger picture.

      Some people, man…

        Don’t feed the trolls… or the psyops either I guess. I don’t care which category of people who abuse logical fallacies are, I just know that some people go out of their way to not fall into those traps and their statements are much more worth my time engaging with.
