"Why don't you serve your country."

"You did? Well fukk your fox News talking points."

"The country can't stay closed forever."

:skip: thats a pretty creative synopsis of that exchange. more like i said that america doesnt have the moral high ground to criticize the saudis, and "Proud to Be an American" started playing on your end

It was actually a pretty accurate example of how bullsh*t your argumentation is. :umad:

You basically said "you're too cowardly to serve", and then when he informed you that he did serve, you tried to clown him for his service. :unimpressed:

:russell: get off his dikk. i said that america has no business criticizing the saudis for a killing (which is an objective, indisputable fact) and he decided to take offense. which is fine, but hardly an example of me arguing in bad faith

and i dont even know what a "defense contractor" is. who exactly was he defending? :mjgrin:

The recent bad faith one I see is exaggerating how long reopening is gonna take. “We can’t wait forever” is a strawman. They’re saying wait for herd immunity and the only reason that might get delayed is because half the fools demanding we reopen tomorrow are also pushing anti-vax arguments and refuse to be vaccinated.

COVID in general has had hella bad faith arguments and it’s 90% strawmen. Basically they conflate politicians’ words or rulings with scientific suggestions and guidelines. Since I’m especially annoyed at anti-science bad faith behavior this one is driving me nuts. A lot of people who just don’t know better get taken for a ride by this (most notably when Plandemic popped).

We actually saw precursors to it from the bad faith anti-immigrant behavior that popped up during Ebola. But it was small enough that I didn’t sweat it...I didn’t think people would stay ignorant about a virus that threatens themselves and their loved ones...I was naive.

:dahell:


Over, and over, and over again, you make confident, uninformed assertions with zero evidence. You've never once shown yourself to be an expert on anything, you never once have shown that you educate yourself on any of these topics at any meaningful level, and you present almost all of your claims with no evidence, then you act insulted when people challenge your ignorant, uninformed opinions. :facepalm:

At what point will shame enter the equation? The HL thread on what disingenuous arguments look like is literally named after you, at some point are you considering trying to be better? How old are you that you're comfortable still rolling like this?

Why do you troll and deflect literally every time someone calls out your bullshyt? Are you intellectually incapable of defending any of it, or just too lazy to?

Why do you post here?

Not even I have such disregard for life..... and I'm an axe murderer entrepreneur
I have been asking all the white male lurkers when did they first feel disenchanted with America and why do they posts on sites like this. They never answer the question. But his behavior is probably the closest to an answer we will get

Then leave. Dafuq? :mjtf:

Of course, it wouldn't be the first time you've "threatened" to leave HL. :mjlol:

I'll say it again: no sane person complains about circle-jerks while participating in the circle-jerk itself. :dame:
