The Rules

Posts must be:

  1. Links to news stories from...
  2. ...credible sources, with...
  3. ...their original headlines, that...
  4. ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”

Comments must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.

And that’s basically it!

As a squid, I think all those filthy, stupid homo sapiens should go back to Africa where they came from.

And then up into the trees where they came from.

But say that sort of thing today and you get cancelled!

Trees? They shouldn't have ever left the oceans if you ask me.

I looked through to see who revived this old story, ready to point my finger at OP or the article, but it turns out the person who revived this old story is Kyle Rittenhouse. A murderous opportunist.

Is there a phrase or term that describes this type of argument?

Where instead of addressing the problem or considering it the answer is "Just leave" or "Just stop using it"...etc

It's a form of dismissiveness, but I'm sure there's a name for it.

Maybe it's a hybrid False Dilemma and a Appeal to hypocrisy?

People have more options than taking your side, or leaving entirely. And not picking one of the two does not mean you are a hypocrite.

I dunno, but if he ever tried to have an argument with me I’d probably just assume he was trying to provoke a fight and punch him in the face.

He has a very punchable face. Nice and soft but it still makes this hollow ringing sound, I’ve heard.

It's not even really an argument though, is it? So maybe 'thought terminating cliché' is appropriate

[–] [email protected] 4 points 4 months ago

For this specifically, "Traitorous Critic Fallacy". More broadly, an Ad Hominem argument.

stop using it

Are the MAGA crowd actively cancelling products now?

Yeah they don’t actually have morals, they just react to current trends and will revert back when it becomes inconvenient.

Me personally haven’t used FaceBook in a decade. Don’t use WhatsApp. Not shipped on Amazon for a couple of years now. Recently boycotted McD, etc.

All of these things inconvenience my life to some extent but that’s the price of having morals. This fuckers are just going with the crowd.

Now, now, this dumbass dropped out of middle school. You can't blame him for being an ignorant little bastard. I mean, you can, but he might cry if you do.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 4 months ago

We all saw your trail of tears on the stand, kyle.
