Typically I value comments based on argumentative strength and/or whether information provided adds value to discussion.
Strong arguments will be upvoted even if I disagree with the overall conclusion. And part of what makes arguments strong is civility and open-mindedness (in my opinion).
One can appreciate a strong argument, even if it goes against what they themselves believe.
False dichotomy. Doesn’t have to be one or the other. It can be “more” under one party than with another.
How is it that SO MANY people literally can’t see past a false dichotomy logical fallacy? I swear every other fucking comment is like “Yuhh WELL it wouhda been the same under the LIBS” like some sort of “gotcha”.
The amount of people that desperately need a course in basic informal logic is beyond astounding.
I’m American. I’m so disappointed in my fellow Americans. And I’d wager around half of us feel similarly disgusted by these results.
Just know not all of us voted for this fascist. I have been trying to organize more and get my friends to organize against this. Clearly civil disobedience is needed, so I think organizing and donating to organizations that support anti-fascism would help.
Ah yes, the ol’ “if I don’t know something, then it MUST be X” argument.
Substitute X for whatever ya like! Demons, ghouls, demon ghouls…the possibilities are endless!
TF you on? Just because there weren’t immediate, drastic regime level changes doesn’t mean they went “exactly nowhere”.
There have been many changes at smaller levels not being reported in mainstream western media. Public pressure called for MANY local officials to step down along with changes in law that have already started effecting everyday life, and at least in Thailand, some pretty major changes in how public officials are held accountable via more expansive auditing channels, thereby increasing transparency.
Not everything is a fucking hollywood movie wherein you have some Hunger Games style uprising against the elite.
In fact, it’s fucking insulting hearing people who haven’t an ounce of global exposure beyond whatever 2 or 3 media sources they shove their heads into saying “those protesters got nothing accomplished”.
Never let anyone tell you protesting doesn’t work.
Can’t wait till AI can just learn and utilize my consciousness on my behalf. That way I don’t need to exist.
Bruh you do understand House Repubs were the ones who passed the bills that prevented Biden from stopping arms to israel right?
Also false dichotomy. Just because one side is “pro-something” doesn’t mean the other side is automatically the opposite.
“I don’t have one” is what I typically say lol
He works at the knife factory
There’s no way this dude has ever experienced even an ounce of happiness in his entire life.
WhatsApp? Isn’t that just like, a messenger? Would think you’d want better friends if you’re encountering hate speech in your group chats haha
We define people by their labor value in capitalist societies. It only makes sense headlines would refer to people thru the lens of their previous employer.
Because the people there didn’t allow US capitalists to exploit them and their resources; because the people started to organize themselves and their resources around public interest; because they were voting in leaders who didn’t allow US elite to exploit them.
And so they must be punished.
Basically, AT&T argues against it saying it’ll force them to innovate and be competitive with other services.
Won’t anyone think of the poor telecom shareholders??
Well they do have the whistleblower expansion pack too if flying the plane isn’t near death enough for ya
Soooooo VPN?
As someone who is a customer at over 50 different companies, I too get offended when someone tries to refer to me as a person instead of a customer.
Upvoted both of you
