When you have an argument on the counter
Mikey and I had a counter argument last night
Typically misogynistic arguments used to push the onus on the one in question to deny them rights . Used to commonly conflate responsibility with rights provided serving as a red herring .
You shouldn't appeal to close your legs arguments such as telling a man to get a vasectomy or practice abstinence if he doesnt want to pay child support as if the right to decline child support has any bearing on whether he's responsible or not .
When a person says something so dumb, you look your friend in the eyes and just see a piece of him die. Most of the times they're arguing more to prove you wrong then the opposite. The topics for said arguments are most of the times pretty stupid.
Felur: "Dude if the earth keeps getting warmer and warmer we'll evaporate due to global warming".
Kantor:" Bro it doesn't work like that, global warming won't evaporate us".
Felur:"But... but... it will.. because..".
Kantor:"Shut up, this is honestly such a you argument, literally a Felur Argument".
For people that live together- one who watches the news vs one who has their own thoughts and does NOT believe ANYTHING he reads or sees
we are ALL living in an argumentative reality!
Similiar to the word arguing but not interchangable, it's used to denote civil and intellectual discussions between people.
As civilized intellectual minds of society, we were argumenting, NOT arguing!
A “tall boots” argument is the use of the propaganda technique of Intentional Vagueness combined with “allusory correlation” to passively insinuate causation between a correlation without directly saying it. The employer of this annoying method of bullshittery, while never explicitly stating the idea itself, instead leads someone to believe they came to their own conclusions based on their insinuations by suggesting it to them, and not explaining further.
The term comes from the tall boots that nazi’s wore - or more specifically, pointing out that nazi’s wore tall boots TO someone wearing tall boots with the phrase “I’m not saying you’re a nazi, but…” while clearly insinuating a connection to someone wearing tall boots, and nazis. The argument is illogical, but this technique is effective because it leads people into trying to figure out what the argument *is* rather than examining the argument itself, no matter how stupid it is.
You will know when that annoying friend of yours is using this technique in two steps:
1. The start with the phrase “I’m not saying *insert subject of connection*, but…” before trailing off
2. You tell them that that’s stupid, which prompts only a shrug, rather than any extrapolation
Xavier: Oh dude, check out my new boots!
Jake: They look pretty tall.
Xavier: Hell yeah! Leather, too.
Jake: You know, nazis wore tall boots.
Xavier: Shut the hell up Jake, what kinda “tall boots” argument bullshit is that.
Everyone on twitter: Oh my god, Jake is right…what the hell is wrong with Xavier
(Now apply this example to a news outlet of your choice)
Being ready and enthusiastic to argue about anything, especially dull bullshit.
The bubbly girl wanted to make everyone as argumentative as her, so she divided them into people that thought the new sandwich taco was a sandwich and people that thought it was a taco so that they would shoot each other in arguments over whether it was a sandwich or a taco.
