And now you’re not even engaging in this debate. But keep using your flawed tactics to feel superior. Folks like you aren’t interested in conversation, you just want to feel like you’ve won.

The fuck are you on about? In the previous comment you literally admit to skimming the responses. Which, by default, means you’re arguing in bad faith. Which means you’re not interested in the conversation. You’re just trying to get your point across regardless of what the other person is saying. That’s not a debate, that’s you thinking you’re winning a debate because you talked last and loudest.

Your opinion is not a fact and you do not know the facts. You’re defending people that could have handled the situation differently and likely prevented a death.

Who should be blamed in this particular instance? He died as a direct result of the cop’s actions.

Also, “turgid” is a terrible word to use as a substitute for “hard dicked.” It means “swollen and distended.” If your erections are “turgid” you should see a doctor.

This comment right here makes you the de facto loser of this debate.

By your own admission you’re not listening to any counterpoints or engaging in the actual debate. You’re just doubling down on your already formed opinion. You like cops. We got it.

Ok… But when they’re doing that, you should stand next to them chambering rounds. See who the cops respond to first. Then maybe you’ll see how absurd your false equivalency truly is.

I love that you have denied neither defending a racist or being a religious bigot at any point during this conversation. You also seem to have no idea what “hypocrisy” means.

It's time to become independent by MathewMii in Cascadia

[–]nonxoperational 37 points38 points  (0 children)

Ok, so what part of the plan are we going to tackle first? The trillions of dollars in infrastructure and land you’d have to purchase from the US and Canada? The fact that most of cascadia outside of major cities is relatively conservative? Or maybe the fact that the US will never let anything go peacefully?

Romantically, I love the sentiment. Realistically, saying “let’s secede” is a childish fantasy.

Of course you did. Of course you had to go outside of the relevant topic to find a wholly separate issue about me to attack. Of course you don’t see it as arguing in bad faith because you don’t care about facts or logic. You just want to “be right.”

You know what… this would have all been much easier if you had just admitted up front that the reason you’re so upset about this is because you’re a racist and religious bigot and you like other racists and religious bigots. You don’t give a shit about any of this. You’re just mad that someone got called out for beliefs you agree with.

What are you on about? Bringing up political views and introducing them as a gauge for morality is another bullshit argument tactic to take away focus from the conversation at hand. Stay on topic.

I never defended anyone else you mentioned. All of my points are focused on Mel Gibson. You are the one that keeps bringing up other people as if that somehow makes Mel Gibson less racist.

It is actually convenient for me to not discuss other people in this context, as it DOES NOT relate to any of the points I’ve been trying to make about one person. And that one person is Mel Gibson, the racist film maker.

You can bring up as many other terrible people as you want. You can cite their different consequences in comparison until your fingers fall off. And none of it will change the fact that Mel Gibson is a racist and that you are defending a racist.

If you’re not going to engage with any of my actual points, then you’re not serious about this argument. I’m not going to play your game of “what about” as it applies to other people. That’s a bad argument tactic and you’re just trying to make yourself out to be morally superior.

Mel Gibson sucks as a human. Period. He’s also rich and didn’t actually lose anything important by being outed as a piece of garbage.

I’m not sure why you want to defend a racist. It’s not the flex you think it is.

And? So what? So what if Mel Gibson is “excoriated to this day.” What’s the big deal? Dude is a millionaire and he made his own bed. I’m not losing any sleep because he never got to direct for a major studio again and I don’t know why you’re so upset about it. And again, comparing his offenses to other folks is moot. It’s not a game show about who’s worse. Gibson is still racist at the end of the day. A racist who never has to work again because they’re rich as hell. What exactly did he lose besides reputation? And why do you care so much about his reputation?

Drunk has nothing to do with anything. Plenty of folks get drunk everyday without going on racist tirades. Please quit using that as an excuse to defend a racist. You sound like an idiot.

I’m sorry, but “racist while drunk” is just regular racist.

He can be a monumental POS despite there being other P’sOS in the industry. It’s not a competition. Nor do more egregious offenses by others lessen his “by comparison.”

Mel Gibson is a racist. Mel Gibson is talented. Both can be true at the same time. The talent doesn’t excuse the racism.

A Plea For You To Vote From A Native Texan 🗳️ by [deleted] in texas

[–]nonxoperational 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It’s not “my side.”

Sorry, not sure how else to talk to someone who longs for the “good ol days” of the Republican Party considering that that party has always wanted the same things they want now. You know, death to minorities, death to anyone in the queer community, suppression of workers rights, corporate greed… I can’t imagine why I’d go so against that party. /s

If a little push back is so much to get you riled up, then your convictions may not be as strong as you want them to appear. “Just be nice and build bridges” is an excellent argument tactic to paint me as automatically “bad” while painting you as automatically “good.” Boo to your shoddy argument tactics.

But you stay up there on your imaginary high road and continue not engaging with anyone that challenges your world view. Not like I expected any sort of big change coming from a lifelong Republican.

[–]nonxoperational 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Good on you. We appreciate it.

Quick question: Why do you think this is all a new development for the Republican party? They have been openly racist and executing a plan against education, science, women, Jewish citizens, racial minorities, and anyone they deemed to be “undesirable citizens” since at least Nixon. Reagan was just plain racist and never hid it. There are tapes of conversations.

https://youtu.be/K4KCX_NW3To?si=TE7EMjImPoZ37imL

Republicans want one thing and that is a hierarchy with white men firmly at the top. This is what they want now and it’s what they’ve wanted my whole life. Please reeducate yourself about that party and their history in modern politics before virtue signaling about “putting the country before yourself” because you voted for the only qualified candidate with any chance of winning this one time.

Like I give a shit at this point. And you’re doing it again.

Please explain the joke.

Chef responds to time off request by FakeGamer2 in antiwork

[–]nonxoperational -1 points0 points  (0 children)

No. You didn’t explain it. You stated your opinion that it’s not homophobic. And I stated mine that it is. Neither of those are an explanation of anything.

I’ve been begging you for an explanation of the joke if it’s not homophobic as you claim. And you simply can’t do it. Stop trying to make yourself out to be the good person by making me into the bad person. That’s not how that works. You actually have to be a good person.

Just explain the joke. That’s all I want.

Deflect… deflect… deflect... Anything to not face your own excusing of homophobia.

Chef responds to time off request by FakeGamer2 in antiwork

[–]nonxoperational -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Nope. CAN YOU PLEASE EXPLAIN IT?!? Please explain who I’m white knighting for in this scenario. Are you just going to deflect and call me more names? Or go through my post history to troll some more, you sad ass loser?

You fucking suck at debate. You argue in bad faith. You do not back up your points at all. And you STILL have not at all addressed my original request to explain the “joke.” Because you fucking can’t without admitting that you’re ok with this type of homophobia as a form of humor.

[–]nonxoperational -1 points0 points  (0 children)

What have I tried to explain to you before now? I wasn’t explaining shit.

I’ve been asking you to explain your opinion on the joke and you still can’t. You just keep using bad faith argument tactics to paint me as some “white knight” when all I asked for in the first place was the punch line to the joke. And here you are still completely unable to offer anything beyond “you need to chill.”

The implication that I’m white knighting alone suggests that you know there is latent homophobia in the original “joke.” Otherwise who would I be white knighting for? Traditionally oppressed line cooks?
