How to get lazier: False equivalence - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

~~John Wilkes Booth~~ · 06-10-2015, 12:36 PM

be more specific

what equivalence am i making?

i'm saying the idea that change needs to come from the hearts and minds of the people isn't always true... so i was providing historical examples of change coming through force rather than voluntary adoption of some ideology

Meh, trying too hard to be devil's advocate if that's the best you can do because that was ****e. I was waiting for a "what about the nazis!?" post. You know exactly what you're doing and I don't need to spell it out for you unless you are actually as daft as you make yourself out to be sometimes upholding this contrarian persona.

Using something as monumental as the Civil War to gauge the stance of a few members of an on-line forum is pretty ridiculous.

Sometimes points are dumb enough to debunk that even someone like myself can do it without trying or caring about the concept being discussed.

debating over the politics of an online forum in general is what's ridiculous to me
