Most people use "slippery slope fallacy" wrong. It is a deductive fallacy that assumes you saying if x happens y is logically certain to happen and ect when it is in fact not a guarantee. The fallacy part is assuming the certainty of it deductively, and not inductively.
now, you can make an inductive version of the fallacy but that is not what it properly means nor what people mean when they shout "hey that is a slippery slope fallacy!"
Problem is, when people get called out for being "slippery slope fallacious" 90% of the time they are in fact NOT claiming it is a 100% guarantee deductive way that it logically always follows that the next thing will happen [and some of this is a problem people for much of history regularly use universal or certain language when not actually meaning so], but they are normally often claiming it is actually just very likely [inductive]. So, the only part you can "call them out" would be inductively claiming it isn't actually likely [which I guess would be the inductive version of a "slippery slope fallacy."
So um, this dude probably has enough power to actually literally change the climate assuming he is half as strong as his dad?
This is the perfect lefty metaphor.
Make everyone else do stuff, you just protest and look virtuous and then do nothing to actually change the world.
And actually, their sign there is no planet B.... there literally is in the DC universe? like a LOT of planets?
I mean I remember reading the old Green Lanterns and Hal Jordan would fly to all sorts of different planets on practically a Lark they must have been about 5 feet from earth...
I do agree that it is going to be far more difficult for this to happen in the US as a whole. Oh you will have your havens like California where you basically have people who go along with it, but as a whole, in the US you can't get away with what they are doing to the citizenry in Australia. An actual armed populace makes a huge difference. I live in the most liberal town in my state, the only county that votes democrat every year, and it is a bit of a hippy city, but even then if they were doing what they are doing in Australia the population simply wouldn't stand for it.
The bigger problem would be the news media not reporting it so no one knows. That is what is scary in the short term. You have huge swaths of populations who have no idea what any huge thing like this happens anymore just because one channel doesn't cover it.
My bigger fear is the slow trickling away of our rights over the next 20+ years and whatnot... and people just going along with it that way, and THEN it ends up happening after 20+ more years of boiling the frog of rights away...
Yes, this is definitely what I am seeing. They still have generally all the stuff you need, but then just random things are missing and yeah, lot of less choices.
I know I go into also a quick trip every day and they usually keep things pretty well stocked, but they I have just noticed a lot of things that when they DO run out of an item [say a type of m&ms for just random example] it takes LONG time of that spot being empty before they get a new one in. Not saying there is a rush on the m&ms for example, but eventually these items do run out and then it takes forever.
I'm in Kansas, near Kansas CIty.... I am definitely noticing large sections of CERTAIN products that randomly go missing. For exmaple, for the last week or so I have had trouble finding ANY unsweet ice tea in a bottle/jug. Now I am not saying I looked at every store, or couldn't find it if I tried hard enough, but for a solid week at all the places I happened to go to [walmart, quick trip, ect] there literally was none I could find. Finally today I found a small bottle lol. It seems weird. I am sure if I went on a search through town I would find SOME but it was pretty odd just how this item seemed to be gone everywhere [but plenty of sweet tea].
And, a few other items like that too. Nothing vital, but certain items randomly missing or shelves that just have big random blanks in it.
I know it actually is a long running comic thing for new "people" to take up the mantle of various super heroes [robin who is not dick grayson, ect] but I will admit I have almost NEVER been a fan of this [I guess historically I don't mind when they redid a bunch of characters for the silver age, so there is my main exception].
I just always felt if you are a "new person" you really should be just a new hero. Robin shouldn't be robin, but batman should have some sidekick with a new name when dick grayson goes ect. Heck, in one of the few cases I think it makes sense... like with the Green Lantern I think is the most justifiable of doing it in lore of the main big characters I still don't like any but Hal Jordan [yes there was a previous "green lantern" when they changed the era was basically a whole different concept in most of the ways (hey, I am not saying I am perfectly consistant :P)]
Just kind of my nitpick but I have yet to ever be able to get into a character that wasn't basically the original. If your character isn't going to be unique enough to be interesting.... I don't care.
But now that they just are doing this shallow and gender and race swap stuff..... I REALLY don't care.
I always kinda thought this would never actually happen.... but it still has an effect of all these employers making it happen even though there is a mandate. Not to mention the original speech thing was so absurd probably to distract from the Afganistan disaster.
Luckily my employer so far is just paying us to get the vaccine if we want it [no penalty so far if we don't, unless the Gov makes them] 1000 dollars.
Even Snopes rated this one as False. It even states how she wasn't even black. So this person they want to be black and have written Shakespeare, even if she DID write all of Shakespeare's plays, it still wasn't a black person....
Yeah, I know there are all these theories that Shakespeare never wrote anything.... and seriously it always seems to amount to some argument like this.... he was just some common moron how could he be so brilliant lol...
But wait, one question on this.... I mean don't get me wrong this is disgusting what the dude did, but I am having trouble understanding what exactly he was arrested for.
I guess I would get it if he was trying to frame this on someone....... but so far doesn't sound like he was targeting anyone or whatever?,, I guess let me put it this way...
I could basically pass out party invitations to a party that doesn't exist, and it say something nasty on them, and I can be arrested for it?! I mean, seriously what was actually done "legally" wrong?
Maybe there is something I am missing? I mean, if I made a fake party invite on this app he used, and someone says something someone doesn't like, I literally could be arrested?! I am sorry but that seems insane. Unless I am missing something, I am not sure I can consider this guy legit to be arrested....I mean what is next I invite people to do a dungeon on WoW, say no [something] people, and lol jk there never was going to be a dungeon, and now the cops show up at my door and arrest me? I mean this is basically the same logic.
Once again.... unless I am missing something... Don't get me wrong this is gross what the dude did but still... well that is the problem with this whole concept of "hate crimes" I guess... Oh maybe it is for impersonating a frat which would be trying to cause them harm to make them look like racists?... ok if it is that then I get it. Maybe that is it?
WHY WOULD YOU WEAR A MASK IN YOUR PICTURE. You literally can take your selfie anywhere you want miles away from everyone in the world so no reason to wear a mask and so people can actually see your face [the point of a selfie....].
Honestly that is what I swear is the secret motive actually behind all the mask mandates, the left doesn't want people to see how personally ugly they are :P
Lol you just want to play a game. Don't you know games are not for fun anymore, they are for teaching the unwashed masses the brilliance of these enlightened game designers so they can truly show us the way out of our non-bluecheckmark-gamedesigner ignorance.
I don't know if I would go so far as to say that Covid was designed and intentionally released for this reason or not, I just dont' know either way.... could have been an accident...
But yes, once it got out there the media jumped on it as THE reason to try and remove Trump and then scare people to get their laws passed easily.
Whats with all the Jew hatred on this site lol? There is always like one comment like this in every other topic. Like do you think Jews have some evil Jew DNA or something that causes whatever your issue is with them :P? If not, what causes this personality flaw that you seem to ascribe to Jews that causes them always to be causes all this evil as you see?
I mean like most of these Jews are not even religiously Jewish, and many barely even culturally Jewish if at all, so what is this common link? Just some evil Jew DNA thing or something you see?
I legit am curious about what you think the root cause is to your claims.
It isn't JUST a fallacy fallacy when it isn't even correctly applying the fallacy itself in the first place, since the fallacy isn't valid to then apply the fallacy fallacy to.
Don't get me wrong, they will just throw out random fallacies they heard once on TV and then claim the statement is false because they "used a fallacy on it" which I agree with you in this point.
But my point is, on a proper level, and not just by their nonsense, they are not even using the fallacy correctly in the first place.
They have tried to redefine the fallacy over the years to just include everything even if it was an inductive argument that is reasonably likely, but then that is a meaningless objection when they redefine it that way. You will often see this definition on academic seeming logic websites now, which is totally absurd because by that new definition it is a meaningless fallacy [or more correctly stated, not even one at all the way they have tried to redefine it...].
There is nothing logically wrong with an inductive argument saying if x happens it is likely y and then z will happen, if [when taken to the full account of probability, which often people do ignore the multiplication rule in probability and how dramatically that can effect a result] it is actually likely to.
However, most people use the "slippery slope" fallacy to mean that, and if it truly did mean that then it is a meaningless fallacy and phrase [just like about every word they redefine..... change it to apply to a more general group, but then keep the previous negative connotation that no longer should apply].
So yes, I do agree they are using the fallacy fallacy, but on a more important fundamental level they are not even applying the fallacy they are using the fallacy fallacy of correctly in the first place, which cuts off the fallacy fallacy from their arsenal if you can show that to them [good luck getting them to think lol jk :P]. The actual misuse of the fallacy destroys the fallacy fallacy unless they claim another fallacy that is disputed [but then it would still probably be the fallacy fallacy possibly]
