His people are the ones funding and promoting it. Perhaps he should tell his fellow goblins to stop being such garbage human beings.

Maher regularly gets dumped on by the woke left for being "far right". They don't listen. Hell, when their own far left (radical feminists) stand up and say "this is fucked up" they get cancelled too. They're riding this trans issue - and pedo - all the way down to the destruction of our civilization. They're playing the big game, and don't intend to lose.

Rob was referring to jews lol. How blissful it must be to think the world is so simple that all bad things simply originate from jews? I'm jealous.

An absurd absolute is a restatement of the other person's reasonable position as an absurd absolute. For example, if your point is there is high crime in Detroit, the absurd absolute would be your debate opponent saying something such as "So, you're saying every person in Detroit is a criminal." When your debate opponent recasts your opinion to include an "absolute" word, such as every, always, never, all, completely, universally, and the like, you are seeing cognitive dissonance.

Some people call what I just described a strawman argument. But a strawman argument refers to any sort of inaccurate recasting of your opponent's argument. That is the generic case. I'm referring to a specific strawman argument that uses an absurd absolute. When your debate opponent recasts your point as an absurd absolute, you won the debate. That's as far as you can go.
