New site tagline

You missed the best line:
However, please keep this in mind - that being a Nazi sympathizer does not automatically invalidate one's opinions on other topics.
"Um, ackshually, that's an ad hominem
"
- It's particularly interesting that someone concerned enough with logical fallacies to complain of ad hominem attacks can have "[he may be a Nazi sympathizer but let's listen to what else he has to say]" happily coexist with "[Some Hexbears say mean things so no one should listen to anything else that any of them have to say]".
- They deleted my post pointing that out because ”Please don't post memes in this community”.
  🤓 Well, ackshually I posted the Hitler detector emote, and emotes aren't memes.
- However, please keep this in mind - that being a Nazi sympathizer does not automatically invalidate one's opinions on other topics.
  I'm not taking Nazi's opinions seriously on their own. if a Nazi says two plus two is four, and two plus two is four, then two plus two is four. If a Nazi claims white people are being genocided, and literally no one backs that up besides people adjacent to them and people sourcing them, then it's obviously unhinged and not worth taking seriously.
  If a Nazi says something, there better be a non-Nazi also saying it if there's even a chance of it being a valid opinion. If it's just the Nazi, then it's a silly letter and I won't print it or reply to it in any form of good-faith.
- I'll just mention this is very close to justifying the Nazi's medical experiments because, you know they may be Nazis but uhm SCIENCE!
- No it doesn't "invalidate them" per se, but you've demonstrated very poor judgement in one area (which is an understatement) and I'm not going to use my spoons trying to critically evaluate what you're saying, nor waste my time trying to reach someone so far gone. Not when there are better sources.

Love to catalogue and publish a list of all the times I got owned
- Generally I think that posting your Ls is worthy of respect, but, c'mon, not like this.

What's with people calling insults "ad hominem attacks"?
- reddit debate pervert brain
  
  You called me a redditor that's... that's gaslighting!
- The ongoing demeaningfication of all words
- Someone explained fallacies to them years ago and that's the one they can remember

Lmao imagine admitting the being this owned
- Tag yourself.
  I'm "unimaginative impotent weasel"

Maybe try not being a disingenuous condescending western imperialist nazi apologist?
Really says it all by the focus on “winning”. Doesn’t even care what is right or using different viewpoints to get to the truth of a matter. That’s explicitly engaging in bad faith.

- I missed shit like this honestly, it's one thing to have a vile self aware bigot trying to speedrun getting banned. There's something special about the stubbornly and deliberately clueless liberals that have been showing up since federation and then going off to complain about us on other instances that is really funny to me. Like we are bigger - relatively speaking - here than we ever were on Reddit. What do they expect to happen?

I actually felt kind of bad for that person. They seem like an obsessive with an unhealthy internet habit. Like I thought we were terminally online? I've never once collected a screenshot album of grievances.
Folks, do yourself a favor and go outside occasionally.
- Yeah, it's a huge thread with an album of 50 something screenshots of Hexbears disagreeing with them or just posting emojis like
  
  It's a massive post with like multiple paragraphs and chapter splits and references to UN charters, all complaints about Hexbear. Accusations we're doing hate speech and genocide denial. I don't wanna link because I'm nervous about getting accused of brigading, and I actually am worried about this person.
  Just touch grass every now and then, people
- I solemnly swore to never log off

- it was in that unixporn thread about picking a better term than ricing where they were going hard at the pickme angle (
  )
  
  shockingly, though they very authoritatively claimed that my 'comprador' comments would be removed, it appears they're still up
  almost like a person from so-called Taiwan who's pro-american is, in fact, a colonial comprador
- It was apparently @combat_brandonism@hexbear.net

These are all good insults. Not a Reddit portmanteau anywhere.
- Not one is an ableist slur either, except maybe for impotence. Good guy Hexbear.
  
  Impotent can definitely refer to how political useless and ineffective liberalism is without any medical connotation.

- why won't you engage me in the marketplace of ideas!?
  
  Face the wall
- dirtbag left
  It's not hard to link shit. Citing it like that is so perverse
  
  it's an orange site thing because their software is shit and stuck in 1999 or whenever they wrote it

yelling out names of logical fallacies while waving my magic wand around

I mean where is the lie ? Call a spade a spade ??
- The lie is that the insults are used in place of an actual argument.
  
  If they want an actual argument in return they should say something worthwhile.
  If they're just gonna post a link to the cia's website saying socialism is bad and all the times we support fascists was good, this is what they're gonna get.

I wonder which argument did this poster lose to cause this incredible post
Imagine if they spent half as much effort actually learning history as they did whining about hexbears telling them to learn history

Maybe stop being all of those things then?

"Your Honor, the defendant told me, to my face, that I was a 'shithead'. Then the teenagers laughed at me, pulled my pants down and tickled me until I pissed in my own face, had diarrhea and shuddered with pleasure."

You can tell which one they most identity with

Please refer to the time Abe Lincoln bullied a political opponent to tears with ad hominem attacks during an official debate.

But make the tagline the same size as the washington post one

Hexbear told me my mother smells of elderberries and to fart in my general direction.

i'm absolutely begging for the linkeroni
(i know this isn't the dunk tank, but this is amazing)
- dw found it
  also, unfortunately i recognise this "person" and their posts
  
  dm me
  
  Absolute dog brain

😔

The internetbro logical fallacy revolution and its consequences has been a disaster for human discourse.
This is not a formal debate so drop the pretense already.
Also note that labelling a Nazi sympathiser as "a defender of fascism" is not an ad hominem, that's a description. Just because you personally object to the label doesn't mean that therefore it's a logical fallacy.
Also note that there's no generally logical proposition in the statement of opinions. "I don't like mint icecream" could very well be considered an ad hominem against mint icecream by these clowns because anything they disagree with which is a statement of opinion counts as a logical fallacy in their eyes.
But if there's a layperson's discussion going on then the notion that the "debate" is focused on a particular topic and all responses must find themselves within the limits of that topic is, frankly, nonsense.
Yes, introducing your dislike for mint icecream to a discussion about politics is irrelevant but there's absolutely no need to use fancy logic terms like "red herring fallacy" when you can just say "that's not relevant" instead.
Likewise, throwing out a term like "ad hominem" is just a description and it's as useful as saying "that's an insult". Except it's way more pretentious and it provides the person who deploys that term with an inflated sense of purpose and logical correctness that saying "You insulted me" or "I disagree with your opinion" does not.
Imagine if these people decided to lose the pretense and got called a nerd then just responded with "that's an insult". Like, yeah, bro - congrats on figuring that out all by yourself, I guess?
The sooner that people lose "ad hominem" from their vocabulary, the better imo.
(Although on the other hand it's a wonderful red flag for indicating that you're dealing with a pompous, self-aggrandising dickbag who wants to exert complete control over the discussion, so maybe that term actually does have a good use for general discussions after all...)
- 😔 a result of a declining and massively underfunded k-12 curriculum that doesn’t include critical thinking in the core.
  Seriously, bring back basic logic at the high school level wtf

tag yourself, I'm freak/nerd
- I'll take condescending dickbag
  
  What is a dickbag though, is it a bag full of dicks, or is it a dick that's a bag, or is it a bag that's shaped like a dick,

And also those mean hexbears make so many mean posts that when you're done reading/documenting all of them you have missed your toilet break and had to pee all over your new pants and when you tell your crush about it she will be a mean hexbear about it and start critizising you and will not even want to debate any nazis and then while you're correcting her you'll miss another toilet break and... It's a whole vicious circle with these mean old hexbears.

This tracks if you ignore the part where they completely ignore all the good faith responses from us and just regurgitate the same thought-terminating cliches over and over again until the end of time.

Wait, but I love "nerd" :(
I mean it in a totally respectful yet completely disrespectful way at the same time.
