Moderator LogicalFallacy Posted January 22, 2017 Moderator Share Posted January 22, 2017 Is it just me, or has the left become an apocalyptic cult, certain that Trump will bring everlasting doom? I don't even need to go to church to hear about the coming apocalypse of mankind. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilentLoner Posted January 25, 2017 Share Posted January 25, 2017 Is it just me, or has the left become an apocalyptic cult, certain that Trump will bring everlasting doom? I don't even need to go to church to hear about the coming apocalypse of mankind. That newspaper clipping is from a Scottish newspaper. Dunno if that's what you call the left, but I don't know why it would be hard to see that a narcissist who has surrounded himself with right wing christian fanatics might be bad news.... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderator LogicalFallacy Posted January 25, 2017 Moderator Share Posted January 25, 2017 I don't know either. What is "left"? I made a reactionary comment which is actually based off a number of observations from a variety of sources - not just that particular clipping. And I don't see why it would be hard to see that views pushed by a regressive left segment of society to force their ideas on others and restrict freedom of speech might also be bad news.

So...the logical thing to do is to vote for a conservative candidate (because conservatives never force their ideas on others) who waging a pretty literal war on the press? Solid.

It would seem that some people think that is a valid option. Whether or not its logical is up for debate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reducing the complexity of politics down to a false dichotomy and tossing in reductio ad absurdum for good measure. Excellent work, SilentLoner. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderator LogicalFallacy Posted January 26, 2017 Moderator Share Posted January 26, 2017 I couldn't decide whether SL was posting her views in that post, or trying to misrepresent my post as me saying something I didn't. So I went for a very neutral line. I had originally written a more pointed reply. Depending on what SL replies I may post it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do elaborate. And mind the fallacist's fallacy, RedneckProfessor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
