Vice President Kamala Harris pledged Monday to federally legalize cannabis, ensuring that “safe cultivation, distribution and possession of recreational marijuana is the law of the land.”
Good stuff.
Harris’ promise is part of a package of initiatives aimed at energizing Black male voters ahead of the November election.
What the shit?
There’s a big difference between nonsense, bad faith, and something coherent that you just don’t agree with.
Being unable to make sense of something that isn’t what you believe, pretending that the person saying it must be horrible or stupid, is a hallmark of intellectual weakness. That’s your option, but I would recommend that you grow out of it at some point.
The robot has nothing to do with this. No one involved is going to get banned or moderated, because everyone involved is interested at least on some level in real conversation and debate. I’m just weighing in to tell you interpersonally that I think you’re being a jerk in this instance. I think it would be to your benefit to back up and realize that the person may have a point about self-medicating with weed being a bad idea after a certain point, irrespective of any legal issues. Whether or not you wind up ultimately being convinced by any of it, that’s a more mature way to do it than immediately going on the warpath against them.
But calling me too intellectually weak to understand it is totally different somehow.
Again, being deliberately blunt, I have no respect for ‘just because you disagree.’ It’s effortless all-purpose denial. Mere disagreement isn’t what I’m excoriating. Reasons matter. Behavior matters. When someone clutches their pearls about the opposite of what I wrote, that is not a me problem. It derails any conversation.
This user failed at their own debate. They bitched about a one-sentence rebuttal of their one-sentence claim. They lied about a more detailed explanation for how that hypocritical bitching was also incorrect. Their “viewpoint” on marijuana’s classification is a tangle of fallacies. The only point which you think they’re making is so wishy-washy that it’s nearly meaningless, and it’s about zero percent of what’s gone wrong.
