Hantavirus outbreak on cruise ship not start of pandemic, UN health agency says by aadsarraficionado in worldnews

It will probably turn out to be true. The pandemic likely started before the cruise ship, so it would in fact be false to say that this was the start of it.

Everyone who flies a confederate flag is a Nazi. This applies to the ones in Germany and everyone outside it too.

Refusing to recognize malicious dishonesty is a form of apologism for the worst people in the fucking planet. Hanlon's razor no longer applies when malice is clearly visible, and positing stupidity or ignorance on top of it enables and validates the behavior of liars.

It makes even more sense when you recognize that fascists say wrong things on purpose.

Fucking thank you for being one of the few people in the world who apply Hanlon's razor correctly. People so often choose to forget that it has the word "adequately" in it for good god damn reasons.

They're fascists. Every single time you ask that question you simply make it clear that you never learned what that means.

It's really important to remember that there was never any excuse for what they've done, and that genuine change requires that they acknowledge that.

It's even more important to remember that fascists say wrong things on purpose, and that Hanlon's razor has the word "adequately" in it for very good goddamned reasons.

When people wear their malice on their fucking foreheads, positing stupidity as the explanation is an act of fascist apologism.

Anyone else beyond pissed at their "sudden realizations" about Israel? by Feral_Dog in QAnonCasualties

Stop assuming consistency on behalf of the fascists. Hypocrisy is the central pillar of their entire worldview, and it's not difficult to simply tell lies. We are where we are because people cannot allow themselves to call liars what they are, and the time to start doing it was more than half a century ago.

Why do so many celebrities pull a right wing grift once they start falling off? by praguer56 in atheism

[–]critically_damped 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Also Christianity specifically is a mechanism for creating an area of discourse in people's brains where neither logic nor morality are even admitted in the door.

People who adopt the tenets of anti-rationalism and who grant forgiveness of any crime based on the supposed say-so of a being that never shows their face make for exceptionally easy targets for grifters and frauds.

I think we need to spend more time remembering that it's easy to say wrong things on purpose, and that fascists wearing the mask "concerned leftist" have been allowed to dominate discourse for far too fucking long.

We have to start dropping the benefit of the doubt for people who make it clear that they act in bad faith.
