Quote:I've sided with you completely in saying that Repubs are a threat to people's rights, but you still try to pretend and make false claims about me not caring about that threat, because I refuse to say that Democracy was under threat on J6, which is your delusional belief. I don't need to give into your delusions to prove that I care.Your utter denialism at the direct and inescapable link between Jan 6 and the broader threat of Republican idealogy is the only delusion here and makes your statement above the bullshit. So Thumb made no false claims.
Quote:And ah yes, the argument from authority. I'm American and you're Canadian, so that settles that. Americans have never been known to be wrong.Nope learn what that is before claiming it. Nowhere did he say he knows better because he's an American. He said you can afford to pretend it didn't matter because you have no personnel vested interest in the consequences. BIG DIFFERENCE!!!

He made the claim that J6 itself was a direct, legitimate threat to democracy. I like how he and you are now moving the goalposts though, saying that the threat Republicans pose politically is actually what is worse than Pearl Harbor and 9/11, which is entirely true, but you are lumping all of that in with a certain date in history, J6, which is a deceptive argument. These are two separate issues, so stop conflating these two things to try to make your argument stronger, just because the BS you were trying to push specifically about J6 can't stand on its' own merit without you adding every other thing the Republicans have ever done wrong or will ever do wrong to it.
Whatever you think he implied, the reality is that he has a gut feeling that I don't care whatsoever about people dying and getting injured and committing suicide, because I'm Canadian. Whether he said it directly or not, the implication from his post seems to be that I just don't get it because I have no skin in the game. I think if the Republic of the US of A was about to fall and be taken over by white ethnostatist nationalists, I'd probably care just a tad. The States are our biggest ally afterall, and I think it might impact Canadians just a tad if we were living next to the 4th reich, so yeah, this "you're just a Canadian, so let me drop this mic and walk away" argument doesn't really compute in this case.
And yes, it really is comical that in this timeline we're living in, a celebrity rag is more reliable and trustworthy than most mainstream media outlets.
