oh my god is that the point you were trying to make? i kind of assumed it wasn't because it actually doesn't help your argument in any way
like, okay, you're shaped by your surroundings. so? so you can't trust your gut because your surroundings could have shaped you to have the wrong gut reaction?
incredible that you're actually arguing against yourself now
Yup, I'm arguing against myself here, you're very intelligent. π
excuse me buddy i think you need to work on your
reading comprehension
let's try again
can you trust a person's gut reaction? yes or no?
Depends on what that gut reaction is born out of obviously, which is something you appear to be unable to comprehend. Somebody, like yourself, growing up in a fascist environment, naturally has fascist gut reactions. That's why my original point wasn't about discussing gut reactions, which are meaningless, but reasoning about the actual mechanics, and thinking through their implications, something that's clearly beyond your cognitive abilities as you've shown here time and again.
oh my god it was beautiful
it was nearly an argument and then it just crashed and burned so quickly, and it was so clearly meant to be some kind of coup de grΓ’ce
okay so if a person grows up in the wrong environment, and so they reason about the actual mechanics, and think through the implications in a way that you don't like, it's bad
but when they do it and get an answer that you do like, it's good
the only difference between the two scenarios is your personal opinion on their conclusion
Growing up in a fascist environment does not preclude critical thinking, being an imbecile does however.
ah and thus we arrive at the final stop of our journey
"the right answer is right because i say it is right", confirming that, at no stage did you have anything resembling a good point to make in its defense
i'm glad we could all reach this together i'm so happy for us
And thus we arrive at the final stop of our journey where you are unable to distinguish between the beliefs people internalize through their conditioning and rational thinking. Iβm glad we could all reach this together. Iβm so happy for us.
it's hilarious that you think that has anything to do with your post
it's even more hilarious that you can't understand that it does π€‘
dropping the emojis again i love it
your post boils down to "marxism good because i say", which is a shit argument for marxism
there's really nothing more to it than that, and it's pretty obvious that you've realised it at this point
hence how pointedly you're avoiding actually engaging with anything i say and i'm here for it every step of the way
I, as well as numerous other people did engage with what you said, and explained to you the fallacy of your argument in detail. You just ignored that and continued to double down on it. I absolutely love how your method of argument is basically to just repeat nonsense like a broken record hoping that the other side will get tired and you get the last word. That presumably constitutes winning the argument in your head. Enjoy having the last word being the child that you are.
