    Ok so you’re saying that you need to outright lie to get people to side with you?

    That makes you sound like a politician, not a human rights advocate, but sure

        How about you address the fact that you’re saying that telling the truth would distract from the point instead of pulling up distractions? Sounds like whataboutism to me

          Let me put it another way.

          There’s 4,947,342.562 kinds of people in the world: those who obsess over needless numeral exactitude when faced with a rhetorical argument, and those who don’t.

      Hyperbole and hypotheticals aren’t “outright lies”

        Exact and false numbers given as proportions aren’t hyperbole, they’re misrepresentations, ie lies.

          “Say you’re in a room”

          It’s literally at the start of the post. Anyone who has eyes and can read now understands this is hypothetical

              It’s a hypothetical. Not misinformation. It’s a hypothetical argument meant to make a philosophical point, not to be a case study on sociological statistics

              You fucking dipshits getting hung up on the wrong thing means you don’t have enough brain cells to process the argument at hand.
