So nobody suggested that whiney little left wing busy bodies have a monopoly on being censorious, but whiney little left wing busy bodies have a monopoly on being censorious. You are a mess, Immanuel Can, you need to be honest with yourself, because you can't keep up with your own lies.
Well, here's staunch Leftist Bill Maher, certainly no friend of mine, proving you wrong yet again: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gmXTUSP9a9Mtillingborn wrote: ↑Mon Mar 15, 2021 8:27 pm ...whiney little left wing busy bodies have a monopoly on being censorious...
What do you think that proves? What did he say that contradicts anything that I have said, rather than anything your right wing echo chamber says I said?Immanuel Can wrote: ↑Mon Mar 15, 2021 8:29 pmWell, here's staunch Leftist Bill Maher, certainly no friend of mine, proving you wrong yet again: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gmXTUSP9a9Mtillingborn wrote: ↑Mon Mar 15, 2021 8:27 pm ...whiney little left wing busy bodies have a monopoly on being censorious...
But you're getting used to be wrong by now, I can see.
That even Lefties more lunatic than most know darn well that "cancel culture" is a thing. So it's certainly not the "right wing" talking point you would like to convince yourself it is.tillingborn wrote: ↑Mon Mar 15, 2021 8:48 pmWhat do you think that proves?Immanuel Can wrote: ↑Mon Mar 15, 2021 8:29 pm Well, here's staunch Leftist Bill Maher, certainly no friend of mine, proving you wrong yet again: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gmXTUSP9a9M

I don't suppose it will ever sink in, but here it is again:Immanuel Can wrote: ↑Mon Mar 15, 2021 8:52 pmThat even Lefties more lunatic than most know darn well that "cancel culture" is a thing. So it's certainly not the "right wing" talking point you would like to convince yourself it is.
It doesn't matter how many times you insist otherwise, I have told you I know that cancel culture is a thing. That is not what your right wing brain parasite tells you I am saying, but it's there in black and white and if you had control of your own mind, you would see it.tillingborn wrote: ↑Sun Mar 14, 2021 10:30 amIf you look at the history of cancel culture; from the Catholic Index, the burning of witches, unions, music, books and films that have been banned, to suggest that whiney little left wing busy bodies have a monopoly on being censorious is to cancel reality. You are completely immersed in a right wing echo chamber that cancels anything it doesn't like - you are doing it right now - that little brain of yours is putting the lid on the previous paragraph and intends to carry on as if it never happened.
Isn't that hilarious!tillingborn wrote: ↑Tue Mar 16, 2021 12:56 am You are completely immersed in a right wing echo chamber...
You don't know me from a shoe box, and have no idea what I know or don't; but I summon to the testimony CNN, Bill Maher, and Andrew Cuomo, who all say they believe in "cancel culture"...and you won't. Classic.

Yeah, you should. But the other nonsense is just ad hominem twaddle, so I won't waste my time on it.
The point is I said that the first time you mentioned cancel culture and you could not recognise it.
I am simply describing your behaviour and trying to account for it. The 'brain parasite' is a metaphor, but you have been infected by a view of the world in which there are only two sides - 'us and them' is standard totalitarian tactics. You cannot have a sensible conversation about the BBC or NHS and instead start ranting about Venezuela or the USSR, even insisting that Adolf Hitler was a leftist. The irony is that this makes a lot of your arguments ad hominem - I can tell you to your face, three times at least, that I did not say the thing you attribute to me. I can point to the exact spot that shows quite clearly that I said the opposite of what you think I said; I can even tell you how you will process what I am telling you right now and why it is wrong, and still you will argue against the left wing loony you believe everyone outside your right wing bubble is. That is strawmannirg and ad hominem in one package. I don't care who you think you are in the real world, you cannot be taken seriously if you cannot deal with actual people, actual arguments and actual reality.Immanuel Can wrote: ↑Tue Mar 16, 2021 1:43 amBut the other nonsense is just ad hominem twaddle, so I won't waste my time on it.
And I am simply not bothering. I don't find your "twist and stick" tactics interesting...or remotely relevant, either. So I'll spare myself the boredom of your company, I think.
I think that is a sort of ad hominem, Immanuel, to cite your own feelings as adequate reason for dismissing an opponent.Own goal.Immanuel Can wrote: ↑Tue Mar 16, 2021 8:21 pmAnd I am simply not bothering.

Boredom can be arbitrary, B, but it also happens when there is a factual lack of content and relevance, which are empirical. And when that's the case, it's not ad hom.
