Yeah, the man literally had a show on RT. He’s problematic at best.

Reminds me of the Key and Peele sketch about Obama meeting with the GOP.

You stuck?

I'm personally curious to see how deep the replies can go on Lemmy. The app on my phone already crapped out.

I appreciate the take. It's not a great feeling to have "the side" you feel like you are on rail at you for trying to set the record straight.

It feels weird to say this, but I wonder if the "Tankies" from certain instances color Lemmy as a whole. If so, that makes me worried for the future of Lemmy. I really don't want this to be the Far Left version of The_Donald or Truth Social.

Let's back up for a second.

Can you definite what you understand "common sense" to be.

Also, do you think "common sense" varies between cultures?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (2 children)

Is it though? An appeal to common sense has been used to justify any number of horrors historically. It depends heavily on the culture you are in.

Debate is most certainly used to persuade and test the strength of an argument. In debate, however, common sense is sometimes used in place of logical reasoning for things the speaker believes should simply be understood.

Look, I tend to believe that "common sense is nothing more than a deposit of prejudices laid down in the mind before you reach eighteen.”[1] People perceive the world differently from one another, and have different lived experiences. This is especially true for neurodivergent people when compared to people we might think of as neurotypical.

"Breonna Taylor Was Asleep" is a factually inaccurate statement. The specifics may be a non-issue for you, but they might be a major holdup for someone who thinks differently.

Lol. I'm beginning to think you don't even know what the word projection means.
