Oh hell yes! I also feel that people who can’t summarise their argument likely don’t understand it
This shit happens far too often. Between the YouTube links that “prove” their bullshit, to the thousand-word copypasta essay that doesn’t contain a single original thought.
Yeah. I’m not doing that.
You know links are shown in thumbnails, right?
EDIT: oh shit I get the joke. Man, that’s some meta stuff! You got me there, bud.
Just not in the obvious way
Well done. Only you forgot the /s
The /s would have given it away more easily
Only video that’s ever made sense to me.
Or, worse, the essay doesn’t support their argument at all. Because they didn’t actually read it in the first place.
Yeah that’s right, disregard the rock solid evidence they laid out!! /s
plot twist: it’s a Jenny Nicholson video
Fuck it, I’m in!
I watched/listened to her rant about some Star Wars hotel that I didn’t know existed, while it existed, for 4 hours! Wish I had gone to Disneyland while she was a guide.
She and Milo Rossi need to figure out a crossover topic for them to just go full ham on.
Sometimes I back up my argument with entire books lmao. Its not usually for the person I am arguing with. Its for the people who see the argument and are curious
Einstein said if you can’t explain it simply, you don’t understand it.
Also drag likes your name.
Agree with that 100 % I have a degree in Philosophy and that’s a reoccurring dynamic I saw with people trying to baffle with bullshit rather than make a cogent argument
You should be able to explicate your own argument, though. “Read this book” isn’t convincing on its own.
Oh for sure, I don’t just say, “you’re wrong read this book” lol.
Yeah, you need to take specific portions of the book to support your argument. I won’t just say “read Fanon” but will give a a specific example from the book in addition to the more general example of the entire work, plus encourage them to read more.
Honestly such a power move
Just point to the dictionary. “Draw your own conclusions, bro”
Perfect response.
That’s brutal.
I got a YouTube link to a 30 minute mumbler.
