  • I’m not in favor of forcible displacement in general. If people voluntarily bail as a result of losing their privileged position within an ethno state then I’d say that’s a much better situation than forcing anyone from their homes. Anyone who’s willing to stick around in a state where equality is the goal deserves a chance at peace and reconciliation. Although I’m sure a faction would stick around intending to use terrorism to regain their privilege. That’s typically what happens in these situations. Look at the KKK in it’s various incarnations












  • I don’t really like the explanation for Tu Quoque. Tu Quoque is an appeal to hypocrisy. For instance you want me to believe in climate change, but you drive a car or Al Gore flies private jets.

    Whether or not something is true doesn’t require the person telling you about it to have a lifestyle that’s perfectly aligned with that information. You can be a hypocrite and correct. I would prefer to be a correct hypocrite than an incorrect non-hypocrite. At least the hypocrite knows there’s something that needs to be done.

    I also prefer false choice or false dichotomy over black and white for that one, but that’s just me being picky. Black and white is just as good a descriptor for it. I do really like the infographic. It’s nice to have them all in one place.
