    oh my god is that the point you were trying to make? i kind of assumed it wasn’t because it actually doesn’t help your argument in any way

    like, okay, you’re shaped by your surroundings. so? so you can’t trust your gut because your surroundings could have shaped you to have the wrong gut reaction?

    incredible that you’re actually arguing against yourself now

        excuse me buddy i think you need to work on your

        reading comprehension

        let’s try again

        can you trust a person’s gut reaction? yes or no?

          can you trust a person’s gut reaction? yes or no?

          Depends on what that gut reaction is born out of obviously, which is something you appear to be unable to comprehend. Somebody, like yourself, growing up in a fascist environment, naturally has fascist gut reactions. That’s why my original point wasn’t about discussing gut reactions, which are meaningless, but reasoning about the actual mechanics, and thinking through their implications, something that’s clearly beyond your cognitive abilities as you’ve shown here time and again.

            oh my god it was beautiful

            it was nearly an argument and then it just crashed and burned so quickly, and it was so clearly meant to be some kind of coup de grâce

            reasoning about the actual mechanics, and thinking through their implications

            okay so if a person grows up in the wrong environment, and so they reason about the actual mechanics, and think through the implications in a way that you don’t like, it’s bad

            but when they do it and get an answer that you do like, it’s good

            the only difference between the two scenarios is your personal opinion on their conclusion

                ah and thus we arrive at the final stop of our journey

                “the right answer is right because i say it is right”, confirming that, at no stage did you have anything resembling a good point to make in its defense

                i’m glad we could all reach this together i’m so happy for us

                  And thus we arrive at the final stop of our journey where you are unable to distinguish between the beliefs people internalize through their conditioning and rational thinking. I’m glad we could all reach this together. I’m so happy for us.
