  • Yeah, there are a lot of men on here who really go to bat for pedophilia. Don’t even BREATHE a word about AI porn of children being immoral because it is modeled after irl children and can be made to blackmail kids etc. Don’t ever argue with any Muslim misogynists on here that child marriage is bad or that feminism in Islam is good. Never be upset that a man was saying it is “probably” not good for kids if they participate in sex acts (we have specific physiological signs like bedwetting that show CSA is inherently damaging to humans) but that it should be totally normal to have your kids WATCH you fuck because they probably did that in medieval times.

    And people wonder why my bio recommends BlueSky



  • I think you’re actually doing here what you are accusing me of re: misinterpretting. My last comment was mild af.

    The world has become more hateful. It’s not just online or in people’s heads. We have evidence that massive online warfare happens, literal psychological warfare and soldiers paid to post hate online all day every day. One independent journalist estimated at least a trillion dollars spent for various election/political meddling in 2024 and 2025, with protests in Romania, Georgia, Serbia, Slovakia, South Korea, Germany, Poland, etc etc etc.

    So yeah, you got a downvote, grow up about it. You’re wrong and didn’t contribute anything meaningful to the conversation. This isn’t even “hate,” this is simple disagreement that you are too thin-skinned to handle.

    Hate is stuff like: ableism, misogyny, racism, homophobia, transphobia. Eg a roomba yelling the N word at people. It is not disagreeing with you and downvoting you, lol. For fucks sake.

    Edit for your E2: The massive online armies are using online hate to conduct genocides and kill people more efficiently. With massive networks of countries with camps and slavery including Assad’s knowledge of death camps.


  • BlueSky is genuinely one of the least toxic socials I’ve had in a while. I can agree to disagree there on normal issues like whether UBI should be given in a lump sum, weekly, monthly- it’s not fucking assholes “debating” if aliens built the pyramids and whether we should drink our own pee or if good faith arguments are important or if it’s “natural” to be attracted to 14yr old girls as an adult man (all topics I’ve seen on Lemmy).




  • Yes, you do need to provide evidence for your claims. I’ve provided evidence and explained my position, and your position has been fallacies and ad homs. That’s not a valid refutation. That you need this explained to you is … Lol

    your fallacy is the fallacy fallacy

    That’s not how fallacies work lol. You have to specifically outline what part of speech is using fallacious arguments. It’s not “my” fallacy lol

    That’s also not how the fallacy fallacy works in argument, because it 1) shows you admit you have argued in bad faith and 2) goes back to arguing in good faith because that is what is considered reasonable, that is, able to be reasoned with, and not nonsense 3) you based your argument on the fallacies themselves, thus making it fallacious

    That the argument is fallacious only means that the argument cannot succeed in proving its consequent.[6] But showing how one argument in a complex thesis is fallaciously reasoned does not necessarily invalidate its conclusion if that conclusion is not dependent on the fallacy.

    Your conclusions are dependent on the fallacy, you admit it is a fallacy, and you cannot argue in good faith at all. That’s known as - you lose. You have no substantial argument.

    Again, that you need this explained to you is lol

    May you end up in court some day, please 🙏


  • Lol, I don’t cause you to argue in bad faith (with entire comments full of fallacies), that’s you who does so of your own “brainpower.”

    You’ve not once made a valid counterargument or even provided evidence. What evidence? The only content I’ve seen is your ableism and ad hominems. Can you actually form an independent, good faith argument backed with valid evidence? I haven’t seen evidence of THAT being able to happen yet.

    Again, you seem to think Lemmy mods are in charge of who is and isnt a Nazi, that’s so strange lol. But I dont usually report to mods, I’m an adult who can handle an argument (are you?). I also am an adult who can read what people write and form opinions about them, without needing another adult to intervene or tell me how to think. Maybe that’s your issue? No mod or big friend to tell you how to argue in good faith here?


  • Normally I would just mock you by pointing out that liberals stay in the tweets while leftists get out on the streets, but you’re obviously suffering from mental illness

    Here’s an ad hominem and ableism. Your refusal to debate the argument here is a fallacy and bad faith.

    and I don’t think it’s very nice to make fun of people who are clearly having a mental breakdown, judging by your totally normal reaction.

    2nd instance of ad hom and ableism in this comment alone.

    As for BRICS,

    Thanks for reminding me you failed to answer any questions and lost this debate completely.

    Also, hey @antlion@lemmy.dbzer0.com, turns out it’s uh checks notes BRICS that’s censoring Wikipedia to convince you not to drink your own pee.

    Strawman, that was never said. I also have a longform comment to that user already explaining why the science of the pee drinking stuff is bogus, so somehow you did a double strawman.

    Yup, bunch of totally normal people in these comments.

    3rd instance of ad hom and ableism

    Now for this comment.

    you’re very clearly dedicated to whatever this wonderful and deep narrative is that you’ve crafted

    That’s literally just having integrity and debating a position. You can’t argue because you don’t know how to argue this topic in good faith and apparently too childish to admit it.

    and also, argonians have stinky fish breath

    This is an ad hom, it is being used in an argument to strengthen your side, and further, you are basing the entirety of your refusal to discuss in good faith on ad homs in the previous comment.

    you’re wrong, because your arguments suck

    This is also a fallacy and bad faith argument, it would be dismissed. Circular reasoning.

    An ad hominem is an attempt to refute an argument by using a personal attack

    That’s what you did. Literally. Don’t gaslight. I quoted it so you can see. You then changed the exucse to not argue in good faith in this most recent comment to lack the ableism, which is why it looks hilarious, like you’re upset I’m able to argue and think.

    Oh, and if you’re going to call someone a nazi, at least make it someone the average person would believe is a nazi

    You are one or you support them which makes you one.

    If I was anything of the sort, I personally know three admins of my instance who would not hesitate to ban me in an instant, and one or two of them could probably dox me if they wanted to.

    Really bad application of appeal to authority - fallacy. Lemmy mods dont determine who is a Nazi lol












  • In a recent post, I tried to introduce a conceptual tool which I (as humorously and self-deprecatingly as possible) named after myself. In brief, “The Kory Scale” (TKS) is based on the hypothesis that the more a new or existing medical therapy is attacked in a coordinated, sustained fashion by the medical establishment and media, the more likely the treatment is both highly effective and safe.

    Okay, starting off with a made up fallacy is always a bad sign in science FYI… And so is going off that bad fallacy with more fallacies for 10 paragraphs.

    Before I go further, I just want to celebrate that “there is a new Sheriff in town,” given my friend and colleague RFK Jr. is now the Secretary of Health and Human Services

    LOL of course, that actually is pretty consistent w your pyramid conspiracies

    Although I am not a criminologist, my understanding from movies and news reports

    LOL

    Let me just say straight off that I know little about anti-neoplaston therapy outside of what I learned in the documentary

    LOL

    The exact incidence and magnitude of effectiveness is thus unknown to me but I argue that based on its score on TKS

    Please note that “TKS” is a made up thing by the writer, where if the scientific community doesnt like it, then it’s real/better by the ampunt they dislike it. It’s literally a vulnerable narcissist’s main thinking error. This is a vulnerable narcissist.

    Let’s just move on to the claims you’re making:

    https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Burzynski_Clinic

    The compounds are not licensed as drugs but are instead sold and administered as part of clinical trials at the Burzynski Clinic and the Burzynski Research Institute.

    Burzynski has since produced the compounds synthetically.

    The Burzynski Clinic is a clinic selling an unproven cancer treatment, which has been characterized as harmful quackery.[1] It was founded in 1976 and is located in Houston, Texas, in the United States. It offers a form of chemotherapy originally called “antineoplaston therapy” devised by the clinic’s founder Stanislaw Burzynski in the 1970s. Antineoplaston is Burzynski’s term for a group of urine-derived peptides, peptide derivatives, and mixtures. There is no accepted scientific evidence of benefit from antineoplaston combinations for various diseases, and the Clinic’s claimed successes have not been replicated by independent researchers.

    The clinic has been the focus of criticism primarily due to the way its antineoplaston therapy is promoted, the costs for people with cancer participating in trials of antineoplastons and problems with the way these trials are run. Legal cases have been brought as a result of the sale of the therapy without regulatory approval.

    Burzynski is also the president and founder of a pharmaceutical company, the Burzynski Research Institute, which manufactures his antineoplaston drugs.

    See the last line? Now tell me, how is he not ALSO PART of the Turf war your article is talking about?

    Reviewers of his scientific papers have disputed the design of the trials and scientific validity of the published results.[12][13][14]

    In February 2017, following lengthy hearings, the Texas Medical Board recommended Burzynski’s medical license be revoked, with the revocation suspended,[clarification needed] and a fine of $360,000 for billing irregularities and other violations.

    So it’s not just Wikipedia against him, but also medical boards. SO again, no issue with Wikipedia here, or science, he just is grifting people and you dont get what science even is (hint: it’s reproducible results).

    From A-10, antineoplaston AS2-1 was derived – a 4:1 mixture of phenylacetic acid and phenylacetylglutamine.[25] The Burzynski Clinic website states that the active ingredient of antineoplaston A10-I is phenylacetylglutamine

    So we know what it is, and it can indeed be synthesized (how else would the body make it, lol). We also already have people taking grains of thyroid, ovaries, adrenal glands, testes - and those organs are also used to make pharmaceuticals. Nothing stopping people from drinking pee or eating medically relevant foods.

    Further, you don’t always need a placebo for studies, you need a CONTROL group. Often the control group is given a placebo, but in this case, they could use other chemotherapy treatment as a control. They dont want to be more legitimate though, because their patients’ and their families would have better standing to sue them for lying/false advertising/snake oil. So no, it wasnt rejected for not having a placebo group and being too ethical to give cancer patients a placebo LOL

    From 1991 to 1995, the NCI initiated multiple phase II trials of antineoplastons. In 1995, after over $1 million had been spent on these trials, they were stopped due to fundamental conflicts between NCI investigators and Burzynski and his employees, notably around Burzynski’s insistence on approving all protocols in the NCI trial.

    The largest trial Burzynski registered was called CAN-1 and aimed to cover all clinic patients at that time. Jaffe wrote that CAN-1 was “a joke” of a clinical trial and explained the legal maneuvering:

    The CAN-1 protocol had almost two hundred patients in it and there were at least a dozen different types of cancers being treated. And since all the patients were already on treatment, there could not be any possibility of meaningful data coming out of the so-called clinical trial. It was all an artifice, a vehicle we and the FDA created to legally give the patients Burzynski’s treatment. The FDA wanted all of Burzynski’s patients to be on an IND [Investigational New Drug (IND) Application], so that’s what we did.

    The consensus among the professional community, as represented by the American Cancer Society[33] and Cancer Research UK[34] is that antineoplaston therapy is unproven, and the overall probability of the treatment turning out to be as claimed is low due to lack of credible mechanisms and the poor state of research after more than 35 years of investigation. Antineoplaston treatments have significant known side effects including severe neurotoxicity. Hypernatremia is also a significant risk given the high levels of sodium in antineoplaston infusions.

    Gee, I dont think Wikipedia is the issue lol my word

    The real cancer conspiracy is that corporations wont let us have Medicaid for All. That would detect cancer (and toxins) and allow us to class action sue companies for them. Cant sue if it was never detected. Thats why they find carcinogens and lead in kids’ products so much - their products dont have more lead in them, but kids all can be on Medicaid and that catches it. Flint, MI, water poisoning was detected by a kid on Medicaid.
