You just declared this by fiat. People are forced into making sacrifices all the time, and there are no logical fallacies up their sleeves.
- RangerScience 3y agoIt’s semantics, and I don’t mean that to be dismissive - GP sounds like they’re using a definition of “sacrifice” that’s essentially voluntary; you sound like you’re using a definition of sacrifice that’s essentially hmmm maybe “diminishing” (“I am less that I was before I sacrificed”) I do agree with GP, in sentiment - part of the impact of giving something up in these situations is that it is voluntary. Forced sacrifice - I don’t think that can restore trust, only subservience; which, to be sure, can be seen as trust in certain situations (the loyalty of a yes-man, for example), but I’d strongly argue that that isn’t the kind of trust the article is talking about.
