And relying on calling out fallacies to shut down a point is just the fallacist’s fallacy in the flesh; so do any of you ever have an actual point to make? Or are you just another bad-faith hypocrite? Because that sounds a lot like “every time we make up an atrocity only to get called out for an actual atrocity we committed, we’re gonna shriek ‘whataboutism’”; and that’s all the intellectual honesty of a child caught with their hand in the cookie jar.
not agreeing with a person is not necessarily a logical fallacy. It could be a difference in assessment of what info is factual. In order to assess a contradiction in logic, one must first verify that there is no contradiction in facts.
I’m more making a jab at how libs will just declare our argument to be fallacious (usually with “whataboutism” as their favourite) in order to dismiss the argument without actually reading it. It’s the “argumentum ad liberales dissensio” fallacy. We disagree with liberals so our argument must be fallacious, they just need to spin wheel to pick one.

If the point someone is making is a fallacy then they are not addressing the original point and dodging an honest debate.
And holy shit the amount of projection in this thread!
care to elaborate?
We don’t agree with this person, which is clearly a logical fallacy, they just haven’t figured out which one yet.

nah, was clear after I posted I wandered into a right wing echo chamber so I will bow out and let you all keep circle jerking over my downvotes.
May your jimmies remain unrustled, never having to contemplate your assumptions.
