Why does making a moral statement require adherence to that statement? Sounds like a pretty basic tu quoque and it follows that no one really has to question the moral argumentation at all. Why do you think people make up these sorts of conditions?
- renewiltord 6y agoWell, because there is no moral argument. There is merely a statement made (entirely implicitly here) without logical reasoning. And a statement, asserted without evidence or reasoning can easily be dismissed without it. There can be no tu quoque fallacy when there is no argument made. For instance, if I were to say "I'm at the beach" and you were to say "But you are not. I see you downtown in front of me." that's not tu quoque just because it references the guy making the statement. Make the argument and perhaps we can see.
