Sealioning is a popular tactic for people arguing in bad faith. I don't think I'm arguing in bad faith, I am just trying to point out the flaw in your reasoning.

You are saying that Biden's affirmations have no value because they might be a way for him to gain popularity. First, is this any different from anyone emitting an opinion online? You could say that Mamdani, before he became the mayor of NYC, had the same motivation. In many cases, it's a good thing for someone with good ideas to gain popularity. So this means that you have to evaluate the ideas before judging the person.

Also, it's hard to guess someone's intentions. For example, I don't know what your intentions are, should I presume they are bad and automatically reject your opinions?

Finally, there is a lot of assumptions in your reply. Nobody knows if Biden will run for office, how he will act if he does, or whether he'll stab his constituents in the back.

What you are doing is called ad hominem and it's a logical fallacy.

Let's say it helped him gain popularity; does it make the situation he is describing less true?

I don't think he is, but even if he was, how does this change the value of what he's saying?

Pray as much as you want as long as you're not helping Israel commit Shoah 2.0

A right is something you can claim for yourself. "Being punished for your actions" is not a right. I'd even argue that, from a political/social standpoint, punishment shouldn't be the goal: at a minimum, we should seek to reeducate, and if that fails, isolation is the way to go.

That being said, at the individual level, I wholeheartedly condone the punching of nazis.

You have sources for this?

Thanks

Michael Wolff is a lying sack of s--t and has been proven to be a fraud. He routinely fabricates stories originating from his sick and warped imagination, only possible because he has a severe and debilitating case of Trump Derangement Syndrome that has rotted his peanut-sized brain,” Cheung told the Daily Beast

This, ladies and gentlemen, is the answer from the fucking White House communication director when he was asked to comment.

I don't trust Reddit anymore, and to my knowledge Mozilla has always put user rights before corporate greed. Also Mozilla is a sort of non profit. So you're gonna need more than anecdotes to change my mind.

Yeah. The article is unfair as it holds AOC to a set of standards much, much higher than any politician in the last 20 years.

40M is nothing to Bezos, and it's a good investment if it wins him a few favors from Trump.

Well more and more this enshittification thing seems to be a global phenomenon.

"The apparatus moved into an unpredictable orbit and ceased to exist as a result of a collision with the surface of the Moon," Roskosmos said in a statement.

It has ceased to exist, it is bereft of life! This is an ex-apparatus!

"I am sad" doesn't at all mean that sadness is my defining characteristic. It usually means sadness is a temporary state.

Non-linguists trying themselves at linguistics always often come up with pseudo facts like this.

It's a bit harsh to say this about someone who gives lectures about fascism (and is therefore kinda doing his part) and who might have received a few death threats by people who probably know where he lives.

So tell me, what did you do last week to fight fascism?

There's a special place in hell for you

Republicans are not conservatives anymore, they embraced fascism, and fascists don't care about rules. They only care about power, the kind that allows them to bully everyone into submission.

Don't know if it's true, but if it is, kinda funny that Trump's CIA has been outsmarted by Venezuela.

It will officially be once Waltz orders the state national guard to defend the city from ICE. Which is why he doesn't.

The scariest thing is not the pressure the White House put on the museum, it's the fact that they caved in.

I'm way more scared about all the people in public institutions bending the knee to the bully than the bully himself. The us population need examples of resistance to rise up as a people, and so far there are almost none.
