  • I mean there isn’t, but also if you want to show other people are wrong (the racists) then you need to know what being wrong is and how to show that. This person doesn’t know and so would be detrimental in an actual debate as their points could be disproven and the racists would then believe themselves right. You have to make your arguments unasailable because the other side only want to prove you wrong, they don’t think they have to prove themselves right.

    Aren’t metaphors and such meant to make things clearer/easier to understand? This is so much more difficult to process.

    But basically I believe you have chosen 1 specific example and claimed that prooves your point. This is not how proofs work. 1 counter example however is sufficient to disproove, and 1 has been given. Tbh I suspect your given example has some logical fallacy in it somewhere too, but you’re either incapable or unwilling to engage with a logical argument so it’s not worth my time to figure out where it is.

    Edit: nvm found it immediately. Just because the anti-anti-pineapplist engages in an action that results in support for pineapplists does not mean that they are pro-pineapplist. I’m sure you show active support for billionaires by having a job or buying practically anything, that doesn’t immediately make you pro-billionaire.
