this is some equivocation. it's an informal fallacy you might want to look up.
it is. since you seem opposed to learning anywhere but Lemmy, I'll help you out. equivocation is an informal fallacy where you use one word in a certain context with a particular meaning, and then you use the same word in a different context with a different meaning, and then you claim that they're the same thing. The authority of the boot maker is different from the authority of the cop. The authority of the doctor is different from the authority of the insurance company.
I don't have any interest in debating.
don't be intellectually dishonest, and i won't call out your intellectual dishonesty. it's not debate bro shit.
your characterization doesn't change whether i want to debate
i have been expressing my earnest feelings and doing my best to convey them to you. explaining your equivocation was no more debate bro than explaining the definition of communism is. please look back through here, and you'll find that i'm quite happy to admit i don't really know everything, i don't have a perfect plan for every thing, and i don't care to argue about any of it. i don't mind discussing, but your accusation of debate bro-ing seems, to me, like projection.
i didn't paste anything. i've been conversing with you. you have been highly hostile with me, though.
