The level of uneducation in the US is a threat to the entire species. Most of Ylyour people are uneducated, fat and dangerous. After the last election, I have lost hope in the US as a collectivity, you deserve your unfair system because you chose it. You elected a convict rapist, fellon, racist, fat billionaire who doesn't pay taxes and tried to steal the election, your deserve to be treated the way you will be, you made a choice.
They have guns to protect against corrupt governments and from what I can tell ... they're using it to protect the corrupt ...?
I agree and accept your judgment. I'm not optimistic about the future of this country; at this point my only hope is that we don't take the rest of the world down with us.
Sadly, this is by design.
O. Right. And I'm sure your country of residence is squeaky clean. No corruption at all right?
Get out of here with those propaganda techniques, please
I'm sure you will address each and every one of these fallacies correct?
Hasty Generalization: The argument assumes that most or all people in the U.S. are "uneducated, fat, and dangerous," without providing sufficient evidence or accounting for the diversity of the population.
Ad Hominem: The criticism targets individuals based on personal attributes or perceived character flaws ("fat," "uneducated") rather than addressing systemic or factual issues.
Straw Man: The argument oversimplifies and exaggerates the actions of voters or the qualities of the elected individual, constructing a distorted view of their intentions or rationale.
Slippery Slope: By claiming that the U.S.'s level of "uneducation" is a threat to the entire species, the argument leaps to a catastrophic conclusion without sufficient reasoning.
False Dilemma: It suggests that the outcome of the election leaves no room for nuance, implying that all Americans are complicit and deserving of the system without considering other factors such as political constraints, voter suppression, or dissenting voters.
Not what I said.
