NPC and fallacious

Go away, brainlet.

>noooo the author is hypocritical therefore he's uhhh wrong.
Smoothest brain award.

>>19945461
That doesn't follow from anything I said.
You have a brainlet's reading comprehension.

>refutes hypocrisy bad
>wtf how does this follow
Retards.

>>19945475
Show how "the author is hypocritical therefore he's uhhh wrong" follows from anything I said. You're just dumb as fuck and will never amount to anything.

>>19945475

>>19945475
asking for a writer who isn't hypocritical != saying that hypocritical writers are wrong
stupid ESLer

>>19945483
I literally did that in the post you're responding to, moron.

>>19945501
Non sequitur. Low IQ confirmed.

I didn't respond to OP. I posted my comment in the thread which stated that appeals to hypocrisy are fundamentally invalid. You were free to ignore it. Instead you chose to respond and call me the brainlet. As such you engaged me and I responded to your insult with a defense of my post which is independent of whatever direction you wanted the thread to take. Don't like it? Maybe reddit is more your speed.

>>19945511
No, see >>19945514
You said nothing other than an insult. The one whose argument does not follow is yours.

>>19945494
This. That pseud was just too eager to show off the fallacies list he read last week in freshman class. Wanting to read non-hypocrites says nothing about what one thinks of the truth value of claims from hypocrites. Simple af.

>that appeals to hypocrisy are fundamentally invalid.
Nobody said that claims from hypocrites are necessarily wrong, moron (tu quoque fallacy). You're seeing ghosts because you're a moron.

>>19945524
I didn't respond to OP. He engaged me. I'm free to write anything completely off topic if I so wished. I looked at the image ignored his post and gave my two cents. This isn't reddit where you have mods and control your thread and control the ebb and flow of the discussion. If you want a safe space to gatekeep your thread, you need to go back.

Holy spin. I give you credit for recognizing your unsound assumption about the OP's beliefs, though, for only this recognition could drive such epic spin.

>>19945541
I don't care what OP said. It bears no relevancy to my post nor the replies that followed. I'm the one who asserted anything and you mistaken my first comment as some sort of rebuttal.

Adolf Hitler
He really tried to actualize the contents of his book.

>>19945448
Caring about hypocrisy is female-brained

>>19945562
It's false that your post had no replies.
(Don't mistake this post for any kind of rebuttal to anything you said. I just saw you mention replies to your post and wanted to chime in with an observation about replies to your post.)

>>19945581
Not being able to live in perfect harmony with one's beliefs is female-brained.

>>19945559
It was no spin but you can believe what you will. As you are cognizant of the dynamics of what followed, we can consider the matter amicably settled and I am satisfied with the outcome as you are too.
>>19945587
I didn't say my post had no replies. I said I didn't reply to OPs with his post quoted like this >>19945402

>>19945402
Are you American? The reason people all across the American aisle become so salty about such an innocuous request is that 99% of politically engaged Americans are tribalistic mental midgets with no secure convictions.

>>19945610
Wow this brainlet is touchy. What a faggot.

>>19945402
This will filter the midwits.

Nietzsche. Dude took the Fernstenliebe principal dead seriously. By the time his mind imploded, he was without a single friend. From the age of 30, most of his correspondence was by mail.

>>19945402
Machiavelli because he played both sides. John Mearsheimer because he's held pretty much the same position his whole life.
