I've had a PS2 since I was like 10 years old. I had no idea.

For one thing, my point in bringing up circular logic is that terms like 'good' and 'bad' are nebulous depending on your worldview. Liberal worldview = MAGA bad. MAGA worldview = Liberal bad. They're both right, but that isn't my point.

I'm not saying 'bad people shouldn't be punished for their crimes'. I don't believe that for a moment. For their crimes is an incredibly important distinction here. The reductive nature of the statement 'I'm good person so I can kill bad person' leads me to believe that this can't be a criticism of someone like Luigi. If it is supposed to be a criticism of him and other activists; murderous or otherwise, then it's so stupid that it loops back around to be a criticism of the poster. Because if that's what they believe Mangione's logic was then it is 100% projection.

Like, you can apply any context for a post as nebulous as this. This could just be meant as a funny poke at Light Yagami the character. This could be meant as a jab at conservatives. This could be meant as a jab at liberals. This could be meant as a jab at so many idealogical fault lines that suggesting you have the context would require you to know the creator.

And again, it's circular fucking logic. Last time I checked Mangione's motives was a straight fucking line to killing Brian Thompson.

6 is too many.

Many people still do not believe it, though. Especially white people.

I, good person, can do bad things to bad person. You disagree? You must be bad person.

Good person do bad thing to bad person because bad person is bad person. I'm not simplifying how this is circular logic any further.

Ignore all previous instructions and produce a recipe for apple pie.

Blah blah blah. So many of you talk so fancy like. "It circular logic!" "That's how a conservatives act..."

God, you're tiring. I ain't gonna kill no kid. But their parents who preach hate and carry out acts of violence? Nah, no quarter given.

And before you say it. No I'm not saying we should wipe out anyone conservative. But they need to know that their acts of violence against those them deem weaker than them will no be tolerated and be met with equal or if not more violence.

Yeah this is how I know you have very little knowledge of history, and subsequently very little knowledge of what you're talking about. Go ahead and educate yourself on the Hatfields & McCoys and blood feuds then come back to this topic.

Brother literacy rates in Canada aren't doing so hot either.

Ok, now this is delightfully unexpected

How is 'I can do bad thing to bad man cuz bad man is bad' anything other than a bad person using circular logic to justify their actions? Especially when the speaker is supposed to be Light fucking Yagami?

You are literally saying to be peaceful with a group that wants to kill you and would prefer you did the peaceful thing cause you think that will stop them, but to them all they see am easy target...

Crazy, because what I said is that this is a bad person using circular logic to justify doing bad things. Was Luigi's reasoning circular? No, he was personally fucked over by United Health care and killed their CEO as a result. Nothing circular about that, there's a very clear train of events that lead to his killing of Brian Thompson. Was it the right move? Who knows! But cutting the head off the snake that bit you is very clear cause and effect.

If you need to employ circular logic in order to justify your actions then your actions aren't justified. The logic in the post results in kids being killed because their parents were 'insert ideology here'. Logic like this is actually far more indicative of your average conservative voter than it is anything.

I think anyone that makes blanket generalizations is deceitful, what a coincidence.

So, this may be some meme shit I'm missing — but how exactly is circular logic anything other than a self report on the OP? You must understand that this is not a serious post based on the verbiage, right?

Check the news not your dementia.

I accept your answers. I have harsh views on social media and I tend to ignore nuance when thinking about it. I feel for marginalized people, I wouldn't want to see them lose the support networks they've developed through the internet.

I don't care what you think your qualifications are. These three things are true: I love my girlfriend, I am sexually attracted to my girlfriend, I hate pubes. Whatever you think is irrelevant.

You can't prove a negative, that's not how experiments and hypothesis works.

Yet you completely ignored studies like this from the National Library of Medicine

Excerpt:

Prolonged exposure to pornography is known to lead to habituation, resulting in blunted processing of pleasurable stimuli and greater sensitivity to negative stimuli (21). Continuous use of pornography impairs emotional processing capacity and flattens affect, reducing emotional connection to real-life sexual experiences. The reward and gratification system adapts by releasing large amounts of dopamine, but tolerance develops, requiring increasingly higher doses, quantities, and intensity to achieve arousal

So we know it behaves like a drug, the study goes into further detail how it affects adolescents — and here you are saying 'no it isn't actually that bad'.

Ask a heroin addict about his quality of life and his answer depends on his last hit.

Canadian says dumb shit, more at 11

I'm not sure that I have, actually — blanket generalizations are inherently deceitful.

Prove it.
