Oooh, I’ll add that to my (unrealistically long!) reading list. Thanks!
It’s not even only pedophilia, but every other kind of abuse, especially when abusers feel they ameliorate or are guilt free by half-informing the abused, or informing them in a way they know will be understood differently. Right to work, for example.
I understand you. What I’m saying, for example, if I am considering between a green salad, fruit, or smoothie for lunch, my argument for greens would be iron content, fruit argument may be for the C content, smoothie would be “I can get both.” But in the United States, we’re taught “argument” is disagreement, or negative. So yes. I do agree we can take a dialectical approach, which if I’m understanding it correctly, takes contradiction in ideas and basically does the same as my lunch example? But I’m still grappling with my understanding of the word, so there’s also that. As a side note, it occurs to me dialectics informs your style when correcting us on misconceptions (and also wondering if it’s your general disposition to be so patient and good natured, or if understanding and practicing dialectics had lent extension to any degree)?
I think it’s how we’ve been trained to understand it.
Arguing isn’t bad. How it’s done may be!
Thank you, for taking the time. I honestly can’t wait for their next argument to learn even more!
Mhmm, really digging your expansion here as an addendum to our earlier conversation on the same subject.

This is why I thought of it itt.

I wish I could remember who, so they could be tagged for this post.

Maeve@midwest.socialto Pravda News!@news.abolish.capital•Corporate media are helping the DWP shit on unemployed graduates1·2 months agoWhat’s confusing, though, is that the report doesn’t say that 700,000 graduates are on benefits. It says 400,000. The accompanying press release confusingly mentions both stats. It’s absolutely baffling where the 700,000 figure came from. But the CSJ attempts to muddy the water even further: Around 400,000 graduates are currently out of work and claiming Universal Credit, while 110,000 graduates under the age of 30 were found to be claiming at least one benefit and not in work. Almost 240,000 of the 700,000 jobless graduates claiming benefits said they were off work due to sickness. What the fuck even are these stats though? If that’s bamboozled you, don’t worry. It did us too. And, that’s almost definitely the point – as well as a hallmark of the DWP. But let us actually break it down. There are in total 707,000 graduates not working and claiming ANY type of benefit. Of that group, 400,000 are on Universal Credit (UC). 240k are claiming health UC. 110K under 30 are claiming a benefit and not working. What’s not included here is how many of the 400,000 on UC still work. As readers will know, many people work and are on UC because their wage isn’t enough to pay all their bills.
