"Making duplicate copies and computer printouts of things no one wanted even one of in the first place is giving America a new sense of purpose." - Andy Rooney

Someone: you're right you know: when women blame men, they say it's patriarchy; when men blame women, they say it's misogyny, like wtf


Someone else: if we go on the basis that hatred is a feeling,
without any necessary rational justification whatsoever,
then a thin form of hatred is just as scary as the thick form

Me: that's like saying if you shout "faggot" at a gay guy it's as bad as if you stab him to death

Someone else: if you stab him to death, you will be charged for murder.

anyway, hatred is just intention, no? not consequences
we're still on defining the word here
this is starting to soudn like a [Jol] conversation

Me: whose fault is that ah

if you shout "faggot" at a gay guy it doesn't mean you hate him as much as you would if you stabbed him to death

Someone else: okay
so?

Me: you claim all hate is as bad

Someone else: no, i said it's as scary

Me: yes
but that draws a faux equivalence

why is it as 'scary'?

Someone else: because it can swing without reason from thick to thin to whatever in between

it doesn't need a provocation, even.
at all.

Me: that's the slippery slope fallacy

just because I shout 'faggot' doesn't mean I'll feel on a level so strong that I want to murder

Someone else: what is this thing about murder

Me: you say small hate and big hate are as scary
I'm saying they're different
