He doesn't appear to be taking a position affirming or denying either the antecedent or consequent propositions in that tweet; he merely states a relationship between them.
- orf 6y agoYes, there is clearly a relationship between thinking “Greta has an opinion on climate change that I agree with” and “pedophiles are ok”. I’m glad that he brings this valued point to the discussion and I’m thankful someone so impartial brings this up during the very important “Agree with scientific consensus on climate change == agree with pedophillia” debate.

I mean, his point was fallacious in more than one ways, but we should always debate against the strongest possible interpretation of the other side's argument. Straw men are so easy to knock down that there isn't even much value in doing so.
- tunesmith 6y ago> he merely states a relationship between them "a" relationship? It was an if/then relationship! That's hardly an amorphous undefined relationship! The if/then is the objectionable part! Man, sometimes abstract thinking gets really silly.
