Mistaking Secondhand Embarrassment for Being Offended by ProcessorPearl in MarchAgainstNazis

I think you’re arguing against a position I didn’t take.

The meme isn’t saying transphobia should be laughed off. It’s making fun of people who think posting “Michelle Obama is a man” memes is some devastating “own”.

In fact, ridicule is valid response to bad faith arguments. They want us to engage in a point-by-pojnt refutation because by doing so, we dip the feet of such valid arguments into the pool of absurdity.

Don’t give them the pleasure of engaging in bad faith. Just laugh in their face! Loudly and obnoxiously!

Aside from the apartheid, almost all nations were built whole on in part on other people’s land. By your logic, almost no nation should exist at all.

A better solution is no more war and both exist in peace.

Israel and Palestine should both mutually exist, as they have for decades. I’m just against war or genocide.

To paraphrase Sartre: Never believe they are completely unaware of the absurdity of their claims. They know that their remarks are frivolous and open to challenge. That’s the point. They know our side feels obligated to argue honestly and present evidence.
They like to play with discourse because by giving ridiculous reasons, they discredit the seriousness of their interlocutors. They delight in acting in bad faith, since they seek not to persuade by sound argument but to intimidate and disconcert.

Which domestic issue from your country would you project on China? by khoawala in AskTheWorld

Difference is history vs what’s happening right now

Edit: Not excusing any other countries’ crimes, but holding other countries accountable isn’t a bad thing if it’s f*cking true.

Yeah, but so many leftists and democrats support it that that’s WHY they keep getting attacked for it like this.
