AFAIK X is owned by an American billionaire, not a Russian/Iranian one, so please don't pollute the argument with irrelevant strawmen. What we are seeing real-time is a failure/hack of representative democracy that serves only some extremely small, but well-connected minority at the levers of power that are willing to drive EU to the ground just to stay in power (see EU economic performance since 2008).
Well, you're taking what I said out of context, because it was YOU who brought the conspiracy theory stating that France/EU illegitimately serves the interests of billionaires, whereas I compared it to countries such as Russia/Iran.
So don't try to spin your irrelevant bad takes on me, own up to them.
> What we are seeing...
What you're seeing is that a billionaire is being held accountable, and for some unknown reason, you don't like it. You don't represent the opinion of anyone but yourself.
Strawman fallacy, poisoning the well, circumstantial ad hominem, implied tu quoque, accusation & moralistic framing, dismissive language & loaded terms, shifting blame & victim reversal, false attribution of motive, appeal to irrelevance, aggressive & dismissive tone - I am impressed. Taking rhétorique noire classes?
Everyone knows that naming fallacies doesn't show it happened. It only shows you can name fallacies.
But you're resorting to:
- fallacy‑fallacy by assuming my argument is wrong just because you claim to see a fallacy.
- and to gish‑gallop by trying to overwhelm and make me look up your allegations of me using your list of fallacies.
Overall, it's a poor attempt to escape the argument. That's a wrap.
I listed all logical fallacies and "schwarze rhetorik" kinds I could find in your previous statements and I am mighty impressed you fitted so many in such a short space. I was wondering if you are a student of these dark arts or if it comes naturally to you?
If there's a conspiracy of corruption/lobbying/interests behind those countries' decisions, it's a completely different problem that is for those countries' regulators to control, and/or for the people to choose to vote for someone else.
France isn't Russia or Iran, where you have an illegitimate regime that does whatever it wants above their law and constitution.
A Conspiracy Theory doesn't give any right to the billionaire owner of the social network to be above the law.
