An important part of critical thinking is the ability to see flaws in comparisons and arguments even when they point towards conclusions you agree with. Itβs telling that you interpreted their comment the way you did.
It's telling, the way you're talking about this. Unless OP is defending Stalin, something I've not seen evidence of. It's pointing out how hypocritical most criticisms of Stalin are. The whole point of it, whether it's 100% accurate. Is to bait hypocrites out into "but Stalin" bullshit. If their gulags are wrong. Maybe we should reevaluate our own similarly troubling practices.
Don't get me wrong, despite being libertarian Marxist. I'm wildly against Lenin, Stalin, Mao, hell Engles for that matter etc. But Americans general hypocrisy make our criticism pointless and largely mute. Making you and the other person ironically, the ones likely failing at critical thinking
You are probably the first libertarian marxist I have seen. It's an idea I played around with at one point.
my response was sarcasm and an intentional fallacy in the form of an appeal to incredulity for the sake of rhetoric β€οΈ
if you think that counts as an interpretation thats on u bestie
My bullshit-english translator is a bit rusty, but all I'm getting out of this is "I intentionally wrote a wildly incorrect comment just for funsies" in which case fuck off
If you run it through the translator a second time, you get βlulz u got trolledβ.
And if you run it through a third time, you get a recipe for an excellent strawberry pie, somehow.
youβre welcome yall π₯°π₯§π
You kiss your sistermother with that mouth? π
