It's always funny realizing those who think they're asking the tough questions that others aren't smart enough to consider only ever talk about the same handful of topics: putting down minorities, advocating white supremacy, whining about anyone to the left of Pinochet and fucking animals/kids.
Like that's 95% of the content on the Motte or "I"DW.

A bit of a tangent but I loathe the Chesterton's fence argument. Not only does it shift the burden of proof to proving a negative ("show me this thing is not actually beneficial") but it straight up demands you to make the conservative argument for them. Before you get rid of this bad thing, please demonstrate your understanding of why it's good actually!
I find it's a great way to figure out who to immediately stop listening to.
a cursed idea I just had: chesterton's fence is the engine of sealioning
Kinda makes you wonder what they'd be capable of if they stopped spending all their time whining that they can't say the thing they never fucking shut up about.
ah yes the interminable dork web
are they still running that theme?
(e: shower thought, had a better i)
Not after all of the "intellectuals" showed their asses on Twitter or in real life lol
Can only play that card as long as you don't give away your hand by being a complete moron in public over and over again
