Notice how OP doesn’t cite any actual examples of Kirk doing this.
Also, this entire post is itself an example of ad hominem and propaganda.
It’s implying Charlie Kirk is a bad person - or at least a bad debater - just because he used a common logical fallacy, regardless of the actual subject. And what he did the rest of the time.
Plus the irony of, y’know, how many of his detractors have implied he deserved to get murdered because they think he was a Bad Person™
Ah, yes, blindly believing a story with no actual evidence because it panders to your beliefs is “critical thinking”.
Not to mention the ol’ “everyone knows X, therefore it must be true!” fallacy.
> “no one is allowed to challenge the ideas that they teach” when like actually that is expressly what college is for, at least the liberal arts part.
They say, on a story where a kid is supposed to blindly believe the teacher’s claim, which is presented as axiomatically right.
> My brother got an education in computers and economics (aka astrology for boys), only met people not like him in his required liberal arts classes, sniffed derisively at any attempts to discuss his beliefs, and came out even more convinced that he was right.
Five bucks says RBL has no actual evidence for the bolded part.
Also, OP didn’t actually discuss their beliefs either.
>Every conservative accusation is a confession.
How does that follow? None of what you said debunks the claim that students aren’t allowed to challenge the teaching.
You had to move goalposts to “the people my brother hangs out with”.
People can change or hold their views whether or not they’re challenged.
They want to change the rules of a race, to say you can’t sprint to the finish line, because the white man didn’t win? Was Joshua Jackson supposed to stop running because white dude was almost at the finish line? GTFOH!!!
Unbelievable that people act like he was cheated out of a win. Everyone knows if you have a sprint left in you, you give it your all. Congrats Joshua Jackson!
When people in power start changing the rules mid-game because they’re about to lose, that’s not competition—that’s control. And when it keeps happening in ways that disadvantage Black competitors, we’re going to call it exactly what it is.
Same thing we are seeing with the MAGA Cult Republican Party. See themselves losing so instead of changing their ideas and how they are governing the American people they decide to rig the election. It's something many white people do on the regular.
If you’ve got a sprint left, you run. Period. The real issue is people trying to move the finish line when they don’t like who’s about to win—and we’ve seen who that tends to impact.
Run your race.
Don’t move the finish line.
And don’t get quiet when the pattern is obvious.
Every time, you have to wonder: if this is the "rEaL iSsUe," why'd it take so long to come up? Why'd they spend months trying to take someone down and never mention the "real issue" until they needed to try something else because their target wasn't deactivating?
Appeal to authority: "proving" a claim by saying that since an authority said or did it it must be true, without any other evidence offered.
Moving the goalposts: changing the points made after an argument was satisfactorily refuted, retreating/changing meanings retroactively in a similar way to motte-and-bailey
Yes it is an actual fact that Adam Savage has spent his life in the shop but that doesn't negate the fact actual health and safety standards say he should be wearing a mask when spraying aerosols. His position as an authority in the maker sphere doesn't negate his disregard for safety and catherine acting like they didn't try to present their dad's anecdotal experience is unreasonable considering the MOST WIDESPREAD fallacy in the safety field is "well I did it for years and I'm fine" style anecdotal evidence. (You may also note they re-appeal to authority by bringing up their degree in epidemiology)
Genuinely I am bewildered by how anyone could interpret the first comment as anything other than insinuating that its safe because of the "personal story" quote unquote
Rapture update: While the original prediction was already 23-24th September, I have already seen people moving the goalposts so there's a one week "grace period" making the new upper bound the 30th of September
You conservatives are bitching and rioting because y’all lost!
Black Lives Matter was rioting and protesting for their lives!
We are not the fucking same!
You are the ones who are gaslighting and continue to show your white privilege and continue to be ignorant and I am sick of it.
Also, Cops are just KKK members but in a blue outfit😝😝 Beat That Trumpy Poopy pants😙❤️
Love how the Left is all "Impact before intent!! IMPACT BEFORE INTEEEEEENT!!!!" when they roast their opponents for their failures, but suddenly good intentions and causes are all that it takes to justify riots and looting when they approve thereof.
Also love how "the riots are the language of the unheard"...until, very conveniently, they aren't anymore. (For the time being.)
...you know what? There's probably a hundred other things to pick apart in the above message, but I feel I have already expended too much energy trying to answer what is most likely a troll. Unless you have anything else other than platitudes and buzzwords to offer, sod off.
