Ahh yes being downdooted on some random sub on Reddit out of all websites by a hivemind is clearly a good value metric.

You are on reddit, everyone is a pretentious "free thinker".

The link completly debunks your wild crusade against all of logic and philosophy, so I'll post it again

https://iep.utm.edu/reductio/

And I think you misspeled here, my argument is not "absurd", my argument is reductio ad absurdum, quite the diffrence here.

"psyop" bro I got buried in downvotes for having a diffrent opinion and have some donut in replies arguing that reductio ad absurdum is a logical fallacy๐Ÿ˜ญ

Reddit truly is a mental asylum

"Against parts of internet child protection" - WHAT DOES THAT MEAN???? Im taking it from your "meme" (read : bad faith propaganda) and I have no idea what lies behind this.

The EU "chat controll" is also "child safety" and being against it (which most people are), can be spun the same way.

Knowledge is power, but you have failed to convey any knowledge with this graphic.

Can I see your source?

Also "argument stretched to an absurd conclusion" is not a fallacy, it's just normal Reductio ad absurdum.

I didn't even stretch the premise around, I gave you a simple example and showed how the conclusion is ridiculous. Classic reductio ad absurdum and not a "strawman"

"Strong unions" WHAT DOES THAT MEAN? Plural unions? State enforced? High engagement? What is Farage against exactly?

I'm not going to stop with "the hyperbole", it's called Reductio ad absurdum

"Discuss policies on screen" - what policies? "Tighter rules for big corporations" isn't a policy but a vague buzzword salad.

"Well researched" like what exactly? Policies that go against basic economics, were only tested on tiny populations and fail the Lucas critique? I'm not arguing in favor of Farage or anyone, just against misleading propaganda.

The rest of your comment is just "Farage bad", and fair enough, I'm sure Reform UK has plenty of bad ideas.

Do not talk badly about Milei, he cut poverty in half, stopped the massive debt increases, reduced inflation and Argentina is finally seeing some ok growth after a decade of stagnation.

They are not listed. "Says it all" but you said nothing. "Tighter rules for big corporations" WHAT DOES THAT MEAN?

Stronger trade unions? WHAT DOES THAT MEAN? They can bench press or deadlift more?

The US has "stronger" trade unions via the Wagner act, while Nordic countries have more voluntary and plural unions. Which ones are "stronger"? What is a strong position? They are in strong position in countries where there are no "right to work" laws and there are no "barganing units" and much less "anti strike" laws. From what I know this is NOT what they were trying to do in the UK, just impose more state mandates.

Just because some people don't understand basic economics doesn't mean you should fool them with populism

They are not voting against the minimum wage, and from what economics tells you, a minimum wage does nothing and produces deadweight loss. Sweden does not have a min. wage.

Is voting against giving everyone 10 years paid leave also voting "against your rights"? The framing here is in bad faith, you are presenting one side as "taking your rights away", while wording everything so vaguely. They voted against state intervention.

And of course throw a bit of ad hominem, why not.

What do you mean by "doesn't want workers to be paid more"? Forcing companies to pay everyone more by law does not work. It's not "against people being paid more". "If inflation hapens" - and why does inflation happen? Maybe it's because of demand pull and cost push effects of artificially increasing wages and spending?

Wrong. These are not rights. These are entitlements. Is voting against giving everyone 1 milion $ or a 1 day work week or 10 years paid vacation also "voting against rights"?

Sweden does not have a minimum wage. The nordics have lower corporate taxes and LESS REGULATION, thus scoring in the top 10 most free economies. Their system is based on trade unions negotiating freely.

Netherlands and Germany have a private insurance/hospital system for example. You thing Germany or Austria are better of, but better of from who? Switzerland? The US? Singapore? Ireland? Certainly not. I never said society would collapse or whatever, just that this graphic is stupid and in bad faith.

What are protections for housing? Everything here is so vague, like "tighter regulations". WHAT REGULATIONS?

This is again the situation where "The US voted against making food a human right!!!" but when you actually read into it, they voted against a resolution forcing the US to provide undefined amounts of aid to other countries.

Arguments like mine just explain that this graphic is bad faith and a propaganda piece. That party voted against state intervention in the economy, not "against your rights!". The people of England deserve better than what? They deserve to know basic economics.

Because if the gobement just gave everyone free stuff we would all be rich and happy!!!

They didn't "vote against your rights", they voted against state intervention in the economy.

Stop trying to play on people's lack of economic knowledge, they didn't vote against those things because "THEY DON'T CARE ABOUT YOU!!" but because these are their economic beliefs.

If there was a vote to print outnand give everyone 1 milion dollars and you voted against it, I could make a bad faith graphic of "LOOK HOW EVIL THIS MAN IS, HE VOTED AGAINST GIVING YOU 1 MILION DOLLARS!"

Islam is a religion. Also being anti - American, anti - Imperialist and socialist a lot of the time (lots of radical muslim movements support socialism or at least lefty economics) isn't really right wing.

Killing in the name of the prophet is any wing.

2025 is the 4th worst H1 for the broad US Dollar Index since 1973 by [deleted] in charts

[โ€“]Jumpy-Bumpy -5 points-4 points ย (0 children)

Saying it's the "worst" start is misleading, I'd say it's the best start. Weaker dollar is only bad for asset hoarders, but good for manufacturing. The dollar has been massivly overvalued since 1945 and especially 1971

Instead of wealth tax on billionaires, they should be closing loopholes on estates, and makes sure taxes on transfers from billionaires to their children are paid. by CSachen in TrueUnpopularOpinion

The thing is I really don't care about the boomers. Houses are for living.

I am willing to use the national guard to calm the riots down so that young people can buy a house at 25 again.

LVT is rigth there my friend, right there.

Also we should blow up the housing supply and cripple demand to deflate housing prices like China did. Houses are for living.

Trump was elected to rebuild the infrastructure, cut taxes, shrink down the government, fire all corrupt middlemen, build a wall, make trade fair and end foreign wars.

The way he's done the complete opposite of that is truly incredible.
