Why does the devil need an advocate? Just state your shitty opinions proudly. The devils advocate facade is a pretty transparent one.
The devil's advocate is needed to bring the sort of individual fairness that even the worst of us deserve, and to assess the situation from all possible angles. Care to explain why it's a shitty opinion?
Explain why Joe Rogan is a shitty person and a huge red flag if someone listens to them? Pretty sure everyone else in this thread has already explained that, you just don't care to listen.
Lmao I also explained that, though? Did you reply to the wrong person? I literally started by calling him the proverbial devil.
No I didn't respond to the wrong person. You stated devils advocate to go against what everyone was saying and explain why he's not that bad. Saying devils advocate is not calling him the proverbial devil. You said it's to bring fairness to a discussion and look at everything from all sides (lol) when all it's ever used for is to defend and uplift people and ideologies that are hateful and hurtful. It's a transparent and cowardly move. Just state your opinions because that's obviously all it ever was, but you knew you'd get ratioed for it so you try and hide behind the devil's advocate.
I really genuinely said with all sincerity that he can fuck straight off, and I would die on that hill. His vaccine opinions alone have an irredeemable body count. He is a failure as a human being.
