America is genocidal, sure, but so is every single other society in the history of civilization. America is exceptional because of the technology and the art it contributed to genocide, which is the goal of every civiliztion, remember. Pointing out the difference in scale of US atrocities just prevents us working together for greater justice.

        You misunderstand, when someone keeps flailing long after they make it clear they have nothing useful to say, there’s not much of a “debate” worth having with them.

        Ad hom is if I said “you are stupid, therefore your argument is wrong”. Like all genuine fallacies, it is an incorrect inference. I am not making this claim, I am simply saying “you are stupid”. Your arguments are paper-thin (like your accusation of me doing an ad hom), so those can be addressed as needed, but my goal there was simply to inform you that you’re a moron.

              It’s exactly what I meant: your thinking here is of the very lowest effort — it’s primarily concerned with name calling.

              And the flaccid is a reference to your lack of substance.

              Keep trying. I’m starting to get the hang of the insult club.

        folks who ask for specific claims, reasons, and evidence?

        Is this how you see your contributions to this thread? You’re a person coming in here “ask[ing] for specific claims, reasons, and evidence”?
