the other amusing ironic thing
2013-06-08
is that every time stuff with reddit/anti-sj blogs goes down, all they do
is confirm my other claim about how logic and rationality are used in
racist/sexist/oppressive ways
because the dialogue breaks down like this
me: makes a claim based on factual evidence
them: points and laughs
and throughout this entire process, they’ll maintain that i’m the
irrational, illogical one
and the few that do bother to actually attempt an argument rarely manage to
do so without invoking one of their own logical fallacies
(ie. the straw man “omg, some white european had a tattoo 5000 years ago,
so they couldn’t have been appropriating from Polynesians” or the ad
hominem “zomg, look at this social justice warrior they said logic was
racist! what an idiot”)
sure, i know i also confirm their biases by behaving in ways that they
perceive as ridiculous or irrational the way ‘us sj warriorz’ always are.
