The Fallacy of the Beard
Get your opponent to concede a point by burdening them with defining a strict threshold. Break their claim into smaller and smaller components and keep zooming in until you are looking at such tiny things that their original claims seem overblown.
This man has a beard! Does he? Yes clearly! 20mm hair on chin!
Would he have a beard I mean an actual beard if it was 5mm? No that’s just stubble! Where does it become a beard, at 10mm? I guess!
So a man with 9mm hair has stubble? Yes! And he grows one measly millimeter of chin hair in on one of the hairs and BAM WHOA he has a beard now?

He’s probably going to go down in history as the worst 'Murica has ever had
I hope there’s nobody worse than him because it’s already tough to see the world not really suffering as a result of his shitfuckery

America were always (at least since Carter, 2nd world war ? Not American I probably forgot my president) colonialist in their exterior politics… now their facist about it.

I’d like to know this too. We all know the issues with the current regime. It’s clearly the worst in our lifetime.
But about if these issues may not have been apparent before the internet. There may be different corruption, different rubber stamps and hiding of corruption and crime
As far as I can tell the current administration has cemented their place in history, with the sheer maliciousness and negative impact on the country and even the world. A Term which will live in infamy. Standing far below every other administration
…. But will history agree?

Lets be honest with ourselves, too, we are talking about slavers, white supremacists, ruling class, etc. etc.

This is because of Trump, and others, practicing multiple forms of Catholicism (Islam, Christianity, and Judaism are the big three). Of course, every single politician gets their marching orders from the Pope in the Vatican, and all these false flags we’ve been seeing are Jesuit rituals designed to basically embarrass us. Ask my producer, Neigsendoig, how we’ve learned that.
DomeGuy@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
If the Pope was in charge health care would be single-payer, abortion would be emergency-only, and both gay marriage and capital punishment would be illegal.
I wish I had the faith in human competency that conspiracy theorists demonstrate, but I think the truth is that humans are far stupider than that.

I’ve always had a strive to be reasonable with my explanations, even if I seem harsh at times. However, if someone decides to censor the truth, it’s likely they take the Mark of the Beast themself, and they have no idea (which is why a mod removed my reasonable comment based upon our research).

I’m super atheist, I really hate religion and can’t stand any for of me but even I’m like “what the fuck?”
mugita_sokiovt@discuss.online 3 weeks ago
Many people would be like that, so I get it. I was a Jesuit punk for most, if not all, of my life until I realized that I was making a huge mistake. This was the same with my producer.

It just shows how bad I feel for you not understanding what I’ve said (especially with a mod apparently taking the Mark of the Beast, having removed the truth on here). While I understand that not everyone will understand it, it’s toxicity that really ticks normal people, like myself, into a tizzy.

Like an order of magnitude worse?
And then of course there is the christofascism angle, which is extremely disturbing because he definitely plans to never leave power again. He’s currently trying hard to normalize use of military force against US citizens so he can seize control of the elections to make sure they go his way.

Whoa you’re gonna scare people with those facts!
Fyrnyx@kbin.melroy.org 3 weeks ago
Facts? What are those?
There are 75 Million brain-washed idiots out there who we know, that can give a shit less about facts. Those people voted Trump in in hopes he'll - get this - lower egg prices. Now I know that's part of the reason but it was a large part. The same egg prices Trump would later tell everyone to shut up about, for real.

There was a post on c/world, iirc, in the last few days, about Trump being heckled in the knesset, in israel…
that page had 3 links to other stories on the site, 1 of which was this:
lgbtqnation.com/…/renowned-political-scientist-sa…
That is 1 of the most spectacular acts of treason against responsible-authority ever accomplished, by electorate, in the US of A, ttbomk.
www.project2025.observer/en
I don’t know if they’re still updating that: it’s been at 48% for the last 2 or 3 weeks, & I think things are accelerating, in implimentation…
the whole “it is now law that court-injunctions are powerless against Trump & his appointees”,
& “it is now law that Trump can de-register voters so that the actual-election is more the way he wants it to turn out” ( I have read that this was used to force 2024 to be his victory, by Republicans in various states ),
& “he can now simply remove-citizenship ( “de-naturalize” ) everybody who isn’t a Republican, & this is the law, it is his right” all kinda point to fatal-civilization-cancer, in my eyes.

Ok, all true.
Just was hoping we could deep dive in american history but now I remember this site is still pretty shallowm

If this is your reaction to a thoughful response, you are not going to find deep discussions anywhere.

I mean I don’t have the amount of time necessary to go into how dirty past presidents have been and I certainly don’t have the knowledge at my fingertips. But also, I think the stuff like Watergate and Monica Lewinski is barely a blip on the chart when you put Trump on it too. Which is not to say I condone the behavior of those presidents or seek to normalize their behavior. Just that from a numerical perspective it barely registers.
