Info Wars Taken Down

in politics •  6 years ago 

I wasn't invoking a straw man, I was comparing your perspective, regarding free speech and draconian action of quashing free speech.
Humorous comparison of principles between two individuals is not constructing as straw man argument.

A straw man is a common form of argument and is an informal fallacy based on giving the impression of refuting an opponent's argument, while actually refuting an argument that was not presented by that opponent.

I would suggest you don't really understand what you are saying regarding straw man arguments.

I'm am not clueless to the subject matter- quite the opposite.

I am communicating with people in this discussion, not just yourself.
Unless you feel free speech is a problem..?

It's just a narcissistic personality trait to think I was only communicating with you, just for you.

No one "quashing" freeze peach, bud. I'm saying he doesn't need to be on mainstream outlets and shouldn't be. He can be fringe and cringe on his own places. He thinks preaching murder and hate is ok, and that isn't ok, and shouldn't be tolerated.

So you are advocating censorship against people that say things that you personally don't like?

Even though you have the choice to watch or not?

You think other people should decide what other people can watch?

You see why the Stalin comparison is not a straw man argument, but a comparison of perspectives?
You perspective is very similar to Stalin's views of how media needs to be controlled.

I don't think people who preach for violence and murder against minorities should be tolerated, sorry. That's against the law for a reason. Go be a radical dumbass somewhere else. Comparing me to stalin is like comparing an apple to a granola bar.

I'm comparing what you have written, to what Stalins views and policies were.

Stalin's Social Policy and Impact

  1. Control of the media.
    The mass media (radio, films, television) were all controlled by the state and were only allowed to promote the Stalinist message.
  2. Stalin would not tolerate individual creativity that did not conform to the views of the state.

None of those things are even remotely related to my views on any subject. You're ignorant and uneducated.

You just advocated control of the media!

If you fail to see the lack your idiocy and hypocrisy in your own positions - I would suggest it's you that needs to educate yourself a little more.

More books, less pokemon, perhaps?( Alinsky's 'rules for radicals' might help you in your clarity of strategy).
I can give you 10 or 20 books to get you started if you want..

Or watch some philosophy and logic youtubers - Molyneux and Peterson are good for a very basic grounding in the subject..?

lmfao are you really recommending I watch white supremecists like molymeme and jbp? Holy fuck, I didn't realize you were that crazy. I'm done interacting with you now.

.... watch white supremecists like molymeme and jbp?

oh excellent - I'm glad I found you!

followed ;) !

which group is acceptable to murder?

How is limiting people off platforms not an attempt to quash freeze peach? The entire point of this is to limit the amount of views and influence alex jones gets. You don't get to say this is a good thing without first admiting this is actually a thing.
You're arguing from a position of law and defending private companies rights, when most people are actually using the conceptual idea of free speech. Also this event might actually be breaking the first ammendment since suppposdedly the government had a hand in doing this.
