- cmh89 4y agoJean Noel Barrot is a member of a centre-right party in France though.
- DrThunder 4y agoYou're presenting a logical fallacy. Attack the argument, not the individual making it.
- jmholla 4y agoWho is proposing it is what is being talked about here.
- mgdlbp 4y agoWild garden path sentence: Who is proposing it is? What is being talked about here?
- DrThunder 4y agoNo, it's not. You're deviating from what's being talked about to present an appeal to authority type fallacy.
- jmholla 4y agoI'm paraphrasing: > cmh89: The right wing is trying to get this through to lead us towards a christian nationalist theocracy. > haunter: This is happening in France which is not left leaning. > cmh89: The person proposing this in France is right leaning. > DrThunder: We're not talking about who is doing this. But that is literally what cmh89 and haunter are discussing here. I would agree your argument could be applicable to cmh89's first statement, but at this point in the thread the very argument being had is around who is proposing this and what their motives are.

However I don't think it's accurate to say "regardless of political leaning" - just scratch the surface of the lobbying groups (and age verification companies!) backing these bills and you'll see it's conservative Christians all the way down.
