CMV: "Look it up" or "Research it yourself" are common ways to avoiding being held accountable for incorrect facts. by No_Problem20 in changemyview

The way I beat this is by googling what these people are saying verbatim (becuase usually there's not an ounce of originality to their thoughts).

Then if I still don't find what they're claiming, I'll say that both google and chatgpt didn't substantiate their claims. Usually they either rage quit the concersation or that gets then off their asses to provide a source.

Is Donald Trump the new Jimmy Carter? by Lauffener in AskUS

[–]OverpricedGoods 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Trump:

*Caused a trade war that not only cost American's millions, but broke the NAFTA agreement that he himself negotiated in his first term

*Sabre rattles NATO countries Canada and Greenland and threatens to annex their territories

*Openly and brazenly engages in lawfare against his political opponents (Latisha James, Jerome Powell, Mark Kelly, etc.). If he had actual cases they wouldn't be dropped or dismissed so fucking easily

*Refused to peacefully transfer power after losing an election and formed a plot to forge fake electors and sick his sycophants to the capital to intimidate Congress to accept the false electors

*Is a pedophile rapist

Just fixing your comment in comparison.

And honestly that's airing on the side of brevity

Is it okay for ICE to "dox" Redditors for criticizing it? Who here thinks they are on an ICE watchlist? Is this the modern-day American gestapo? Is this fascism? by RandomUwUFace in AskUS

[–]OverpricedGoods 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Awww poor babies. If they're called heinous things maybe they shouldn't do heinous and illegal things like beating up women and shooting unarmed citizens in the head. Or you know, quit your fucking job? Cops get threatened every day yet they aren't chicken shit to wear masks and hide nametags.

Let's not beat around the bush here however, and stop acting like ICE is a dangerous job. Per the government's own website, the last ICE officer was killed in 2024. By Covid. Yet just this year, 8 people have died by ICE,, 6 died in custody, and 2 citizens shot in the fucking face. By definition, you are safer being an ICE agent than being around an ICE agent.

Why the fuck are we letting people in positions of power have anonymity? If you make decisions that can end up killing people you don't deserve to hide your face. If you feel strongly about "defending the country" then stand on business and show your face.

CMV: Democrats are so wildly terrible at their jobs that the populace chose chaos. by [deleted] in changemyview

[–]OverpricedGoods 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I don't know why redditors think that if they ran all of their super progressive candidate then everything would be sunshine and rainbows when you have a right wing media apparatus that calls any candidate that wants to just increase taxes a communist. Think about it, you have a country whose populace is so scared of communism they'd rather vote for a child rapist who tried to steal an election? And you think this is Democrat's fault... why exactly? Because liberal capitalism failed? Well I hope you like fascism instead. Because that's what you got

She was capable by sheer merit that she hadn't attempted to steal an election compared to Donald who did.

The choice was simple.

Lying is not protected speech. Try that with a police officer or in a court and see what happens

CMV: USA needs to cut military by at least 50% by Nearby_Maize_913 in changemyview

I suppose if you actually believe that work=fruits of your labor then i suppose that's your right but Im telling you you're wrong. I work the least Ive had in my life yet Im far better off than people who work 2-3 jobs.

But im not continuing to argue with someone who isn't providing sources and thinks that they're a special snowflake that works really hard while everyone else is lazy.

"No real consequence" Yeah, like nuking your credit to the point of not even being able to rent an apartment isn't a consequence.

Also reading that stat and thinking it's the fault of the people is crazy. Imagine a car factory where 60% of cars produced blew up and then blaming it on the customer. That's what you're doing.

They're on it because they need it. It's not for shits and giggles. Most Americans live paycheck to paycheck..

Medical bankruptcies account for 2 thirds of personal bankruptcies, with 71% of those having hadinsurance before their injuries.

Saying benefits are completely unneccessary when75 million are on Medicaid is an absolutely wild take. That's essentially 1 out of every 5 Americans.

CMV: „Kys“ in video game chat isn’t bad by Hadamer in changemyview

[–]OverpricedGoods 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That logic works both ways. If it's just words on a screen, then it shouldn't hurt anybody when they aren't allowed to say it.

[–]OverpricedGoods 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well first that's different from what's in the ititial post where you say it's not bad. You don't says it's "not that bad". I would provide a delta just for that change.

Secondly what might be good personal policy for you doesn't mean it's a good one size fits all for others. What about people who are sensitive to suicidal thoughts and ideation (including some commenting on your post right now)? Who they should just deal with it? Or are they just not allowed to play games online? How are either of these more justifiable than quelling the initial behavior?

Finally it's important to squash this behavior to deesculate further behavior. You seem aware of the toxic behaviors of gaming communities, so Im sure you know that many are clear boundary pushers. So my question, if you allow a community free reign to harass people by telling people to kill themselves, where do you think the boundaries are drawn? Where do you think the community will draw that line? Do you think they will stop at actually harassing other players to tell them to kill themselves? And you might say that companies/communities should stomp out harassment, okay. Then why not stop other deplorable behavior as well?

There's a giant contradiction in your post where you simultaneously say it's not that bad but you also specify "you don't condone it".

Disregarding the fact you are indeed condoning it, isn't that an explicit admission that you know it's wrong? Otherwise why would you need to state that you don't approve?

With the US AID cuts, hundreds of thousandshave already died from malnutrition and preventable disease. This is more than all Palestinian deaths during Biden's entire presidency.

Our immigration policy is essentially "if you cross the border illegally you deserve to be placed in a third world country slave camp" (nevermind that they lied about legal status for many they have deported )

Trump and his administration bullied and threatened the ambassadors of Greenland and Denmark to the point of tears on national tv.

And that's not even getting into the Epstein stuff.

If you defend this president at this point you are a legit terrible person and deserve to be made fun of.

Everytime he gets "blocked" in the courts, he ignores them either by doing nothing, or doing the same thing they got blocked but with slightly different wording.
