One of the most toxic elements of democracy brain is viewing 51% as victory and 49% as defeat.

    Jessie, what the fuck are you talking about.jpeg

    Seriously, please read up what those logical fallacies are, because neither applies here.

    To clarify my previous comment: I’m strongly opposed to the notion you implied that some people are “too stupid for democracy”. This line of thought has an incredibly problematic (among others: racist) history.

    For example, IQ tests were used to “scientifically” claim that black people where intellectually “inferior”. This is how they justified them being slaves or not allowed to vote.

    Fundamentally, it is a eugenicist talking point.

    And since you like to throw technical dialectics terms around: You should know that I was simply using reductio ad absurdum, a valid form of an argument. (You know how to search wikipedia)

      Your capital on hyperbole is misplaced, hun.
      That’s not going to make the argument dissociative with your logical trauma & tantrums, not against me anyway.

      I don’t know about you, but I still have some self-worth left. Now, if you don’t mind, I’m blocking you. Your are wasting my time & energy.
