lol, he literally brands himself as a conspiratardand fyi there are over 8 million people worldwide with comparable academic jobs. narrow that to tenured professors and you're still around 1.5 million. narrow it to ivy leagues and you’re still talking 15–20 thousand peoplethe idea that a population that large is somehow incapable of producing a few cranks is absurdwhat’s more a
Meh. It seems this is just sophistry and the word "must" is doing a lot of work in his tweet. Technically, I am sure he is correct there is some non zero chance the poison wasn't Russian in origin. That being said, any reasonable person would take all the direct and indirect evidence into account, and come to the conclusion the poison was Russian in origin beyond any reasonable doubt.
you do gotta admire the "look at me and how smart i am" background he uses that instantly identifies the poster as a deeply insecure tryhard
the idea that a population that large is somehow incapable of producing a few cranks is absurd
Once you get to a certain number of people, I would guess that you are almost guaranteed to run into a few cranks.
it’s the same template behind every fringe belief system - find one engineer or doctor willing to stray from consensus and pretend the title settles it. meanwhile the other 14,999 ivy research professors who disagree somehow don’t count this is true for everything from 9/11 to sandy hook and climate change etc - you can find seemingly credentialed people to declare the earth is flat
This quote reminded me of Mr. Death (the Errol Morris documentary). For those who aren't familiar with the movie, it is about a guy named Fred Leuchter who designed execution machines for various states. Based on his supposed engineering expertise in designing execution machines, Leuchter eventually agreed to testify as an expert witness in the Canadian criminal trial of a notorious Holocaust denier. In essence, he testified that the gas chambers in Auschwitz in fact could not have been used to kill human beings. His testimony of course was pure pseudoscience and outside his actual area of expertise. Leuchter is presented as an egotistical and insecure man who was motivated less by deep-rooted personal animus toward Jews and more by the flattery and celebrity that he enjoyed in the Neo-Nazi community as a result of offering this opinion.
Leuchter wasn't actually a well-credentialed person, but the point is that some people's craving for public validation and admiration is so strong that it becomes a serious impediment to their judgment and morality.
Just to clarify once again, I wasn't actually criticizing Victor for living in the US. I was pointing the needle at his hypocrisy and notion of nuance. He blames every US citizen (except himself) for supporting the war machine by living here. He allows room for his own nuance, but doesn't afford the same grace to others. In reality of course, there are plenty of people living i
Low tier reply. No one ever told him he needs to sacrifice his life for anything. Strawman, dog barking at passing cars style argument.
My point is that there is a partisan element that goes beyond what country offers what and who is responsible more for this and that. The "why don't you move there" seems to suggest that the disagreement has something to do about societal issues that can be rectified by some policy changes. That's a sweet summer child take that Deuces and others are successful at.
He can correct me if I'm wrong be I'm pretty sure that he doesn't want to fix America so this doesn't happen, he wants death to all Americans and would be willing to sacrifice himself along with the others to make it happen if it were so possible. Deuces should know better at this point than teetering back and forth like some turtle testing the shoreline - but it seems to work on a lot of folks so here we are.

what? no.
death for the Epstein pedophile class sure, but not all Americans lol.

I dont think America can be fixed. the weaker it becomes the better for the world.

I can't believe I'm actually agreeing with victor. We as a whole are stupid, greedy, racist and spoiled. Don't think anything changes.
I can't believe that I'm actually agreeing with both Victor and biggerboat.

You're discovering it wasn't victor who was so lacking in nuance.
I don't agree with him on death to anyone if he means that literally but the USA (and so the world) has very serious problems.
Again, he never lacked nuance. He was refusing to acknowledge it because he doesn't believe in nuance at all.

I think the mistake is yours. Or you are just using a similar style in this regard

I dont believe it exists when comparing the Dems and the Repubs. similar to how I dont really distinguish between the good cop and the bad cop.
I think you simply didn't read the posts completely.

I don't think that distinction was made until now, but whatever. I'm over this derail. At this point, everyone knows Victor's MO.

not really sure where you guys are getting this wishing death thing. the only individuals I have said anything like that about are the Epstein pedophile class.
death death to the IDF or death to America are not calling for killing individuals but rather to their systems and what they represent and the power they have.
Fair point. There is a difference between misanthropy and wanting everyone to die.
At least they are both inclusive, which is nice.

Electing Trump is weakening the US. So if you are going to die on the hill of a weak US, then you would support Trump, just like victor tacitly does but doesn’t want to admit it.
RIP Jesse Jackson. I still appreciate that he gave me a big smile and a thumbs up when I was 12.
I seem to recall that he had been sick for quite some time.
what? no.

Lol I thought I said something completely different than that. Its time to sleep and not post for a while
