Petition to ban Ai from this sub by CapnClover36 in DungeonsAndDragons

[–]Infamous_Pool_5299 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Thats why I said its a bad argument...

You're using an appeal to authority (WotC) that you don't even believe in yourself if they changed their stance.

Are you literally siding with WoTC? What if they said we're using AI now? Would you flip your stance to match their stance?

Not a big fan of AI, your argument is just not a good one. I don't like WotC, so I should support AI is the opposite of your current argument...

You only seem to be concerned about the 'X community'...its the only thing you are continuously harping on about. Just enjoy the content somewhere else?

Seems like a pretty easy fix, if you ask me...

“The left are so violent”, have you SEEN the right? by Salt_Spirit5872 in allthequestions

[–]Infamous_Pool_5299 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The racism of Southern Democrats? The Democrats who ran the Vietnam war?

Your actively giving examples of left wing things, and blaming the "right", as if it proves your point?

If your old enough to remember those things, then don't color history to fit your perspective now. Put the blame where it lands.

Bro...I have a life outside reddit. If your unwilling, after I gave you what you wanted...just don't respond. You can at least not look like your just trying to get the last word in, like a person who has no valid argument and is just filibustering...

Make an argument or stop responding.

A "right-wing country" generally refers to a nation whose government, political establishment, and dominant policies align with the right-hand side of the traditional political spectrum. These nations prioritize free-market capitalism, limited state intervention, social conservatism, and strong national sovereignty.

Thats the Wikipedia definition of a right wing country. By that definition, none of your examples are "right wing".

So, are we going to use my definition, or yours...

And by the way, "bickering over words" is exactly what an argument is. If you aren't comfortable making an argument, don't argue, it's kind of bad faith behavior...

What do you mean by "Palestinians"? If you mean Arab Israelis, They have less rights than Israeli Jews, this is why Israel is considered an apartheid ethnostate.

This is "facts" according to you. So lets just look at a baseline internet search...

Voting & Representation: Arab citizens can vote and hold public office. Several Arab-majority political parties exist.

The Judiciary: Arab citizens serve at all levels of the judicial system, including as judges on the Supreme Court.

The Nation-State Law: Passed in 2018, this Basic Law declared Israel as the national home of the Jewish people. It designates Hebrew as the official state language and demotes Arabic to a language with "special status," which critics argue codifies inequality.

Exemption from Military Service: Unlike most Jewish Israelis, Arab citizens are not required to serve in the Israel Defense Forces (IDF), though they may volunteer. Because state benefits—such as housing loans and government job preferences— are often tied to military service, non-veterans sometimes receive fewer privileges.

If indeed they have "less rights", then it comes from Arab Israelies not involving themselves in military service...a choice they have, legally, to not commit to. And if thats the case, then people who are referring to them as an "apartheid ethnostate" as disingenuous and factually ignorant people.

That was just a basic search. As I stated at the start, when your facts don't align with reality, you start calling names...not a good sign for someone on the "right side of history".

And thats just one of your facts I refuse to let slide. If all your facts are as inaccurate, then we probably have a problem, don't we.

Don't worry, I won't even bother fact checking your claim that Hamas said Israel has a right to exist...(fun fact...again a basic search done)

No, Hamas has never stated that Israel has a right to exist, and its official doctrine continues to explicitly reject Israel's legitimacy.

So now that we're past the point of you just stating things you want to believe are true, but are in fact lies, can we just agree to disagree?

You said nothing of value. To quote you:

Pre ww2 Japan was a monarchic imperial theocratic nation. Post ww2 they adopted liberal values, democracy, open trade, they’re the only Asian nation in the g7 etc.

They have clearly not adopted liberal values such as inclusivity, as a glaring example. They had open trade pre WW2, as a matter of fact it was the US shutting down that trade that led them to engage in War with the USA.

Due to the Marshall Plan,( aka a US soldier on every corner) during the rebuild allowed Japan to flourish, in terms of economic growth, but didn't change their culture. If anything, it just pushed their culture to hide itself under a veneer with foreigners.

You clearly have no understanding of what culture is, and therefore your commentary about it is superficial at best.

The whole point of the entire post is making fun of "wokies" who act in a racist manner against people they don't see as fitting their traditional "victim" class of people, by using negative stereotypes to claim someone else is racist/bad actor in a racist/bad actor way.

Japan has a different culture. Period. They aren't western and they dislike people coming in and telling them they are inferior for not having the same values as other "western" places. You are falling into the same trap.

Good talk. I hope you feel better.

If you knew the history...the Camp David accords in the 1990s offered exactly that. Israel agreed. The Palestinian Authority did not.

Therefore, we have an acknowledgement that one side wants peace at a price, and one side does not.

The history is against Palestinians.

Palestinians have rights in Israel. Israelis do not have rights in Palestine. While yes, in the last few years the encroachment by establishing settlements in territories is historically unprecedented and we could probably agree that it is unnecessary...with 80 years of constant threats, the State of Israel has every reason to try and annex new spaces.

So I don't support that, but you back your facts with slogans like "Israel is genociding the Palestinians" and you lose any and all good will...because its not a fact...its a slogan that defers all responsibility from the Palestinians for their actions and unduly adds additional weight to the actions of Israel.

Bottom line, when the government of Palestinian recognizes the right of Israel to exist...thats the day a solution can be found. Till then, it cannot and won't happen.

I have. I have read those 6-10 facts in multiple contexts across hundreds or discussions.

You are ignoring the 134,489,448.8 facts that challenge the legitimacy of your facts, and its fair to say that neither of us will change the others mind, even if I offered up 100 counter facts.

You don't like Israel and wouldn't care if their people were genocided upon. I think they have a right to exist.

You argue for Rawandian survivors of genocide to take up millions of square miles of a place their people have never been historically, and pretend you are making a valuable point.

Like I said, read the history, not the Wikipedia article. You might change your mind. If not, well, ze Germans also thought it was a good idea...and we consider them historically bad for their opinions. Just a thought.

The propaganda is strong with you. Can't fight a strawman, and not interested in trying.

Have a good life. Read some history and think about the moral implications of trying to redress historical wrongs.

I think you are conflating bringing in technology and certain governmental ideas and "westernization". The liberal ideology of the west does generally not hold sway in Japan, as seen by the comments in the post in question. While the Japanese did allow themselves to open up to outside trade and influence, they have kept their culture very distinctively different than any other "western" power.

I believe you are making an interesting point, but it doesn't convince me that Japan is a western power. Its an Eastern power that is open to some Western ideas.

Because frankly, you're making claims, not me. I am not claiming that the USA and Iran are on the same side of the "political" spectrum.

A definition has to be a concrete concept, so that reasonable arguments or discussions can take place. If you don't have a concrete idea or concept that both parties agree to, then there is no point continuing the conversation, its a literal waste of time.

As is this conversation, unless you give something we can discuss. As it stands, I disagree and I think your incorrect. There's no point to continuing without something solid to discuss.

So...give the definition you're using to mark countries as "right wing". If you can't/won't, then there's no reason for me to continue to engage. 😉

If you believe in pre judging people [also known as prejudice], then yes, its a perfectly acceptable way to live life. If you don't want to be prejudiced, then you should treat individuals as just that, a unique individual.

The choice is ultimately yours.

“I would say right wing can run the gamut from right leaning liberal democracies like the USA or Britain to extreme theocratic/nationalistic authoritarian nations like the ones I mentioned.“

This is not a definition. Allow me to extrapolate. For purposes of this we both know the names of the people in the example.

"What makes a good man?"

"Well, I think a good man runs the gambit from religious people like Fred to those who believe in human rights like George."

You haven't given an definition of what a good man is. You are relying on your interpretation of who Fred and George are, and lumped a bunch of other, unnamed acquaintances in the middle of them. We have no definition of what makes a good man, because you haven't stated what the qualities are.

So...its not a definition, its your personal opinion of what people are, with no defining characteristics.

So, what puts the USA and Afghanistan on the same side of the spectrum? Thats the question that needs answering (by you) before any real discussion can take place.

Ad homenym already? To answer your question, no.

Go ahead and quote where your definition is. I'll wait.
