I understand the concept of what a fallacy is. But like I said, unless you can explain what KIND of fallacy you think my argument is, simply calling it a fallacy thinking you’ve proven anything is a fallacy in and of itself. I don’t need to make your arguments for you if you want me to be convinced of what you’re saying.
Adding an ad hominem on top just shows you have no idea what a fallacy even is.
Yeah unless you can explain WHY it’s a fallacy, that’s just your opinion.
Simply calling something a fallacy doesn’t make it one.
Ah, okay then. The good old “you’re wrong because I say so.”
Didn’t I post a link already?
Ah, okay. Great argument, I’m totally convinced now. /s
Well I’m not arguing that what he did should be illegal, just that I consider it bad taste.
It’s like if I went and did a standup routine consisting of Holocaust jokes and then a couple of years later complained about a rise in antisemitism.
If he was serious, he should at least publicly acknowledge that he DID contribute to the issue and formally distance himself from his old work. Otherwise, it just seems rather disingenuous.
Well, if an undercover cops manages to instigate you to do something illegal, the underlying desire to do it must have already been there, otherwise you’d just tell him to fuck off. But entrapment is still illegal because if he hadn’t provided you with a chance to do it, you may not have followed through after all.
What you seem to be saying is “entrapment is fine as long as it’s done to people I hate”.
You’re missing the point. He deliberately encouraged people to express antisemitism and now he’s complaining that people are expressing more antisemitism.
“In my country there is problem and that problem is the Jew”
Yeah, you could argue that he was only making a joke or a political statement about latent antisemitism that was already present in society, but if he were the police (and he kinda IS policing antisemitism now), this would be called entrapment.
More recently though, he has spent his time complaining about the rise of antisemitism when he himself has done a fair amount of work contributing to it while in the character of Borat.
I’m willing to be convinced by reason and evidence, but you have provided neither.
I don’t care about your opinion AT ALL.
