It was my biggest concern about the topic in this thread, which I thought was "how dangerous the left can be" to switch I wanted to reply basically "the left poses no danger except to itself" which honestly was never controversial (look at the subtext Life of Brian, it was always a trope of the lefts). But for some reason you have to frame the whole thing as if I was doing victim blaming.
I surely didn't mean that was my absolute biggest concern out of all concerns. Please apply the principle of charity when interpreting other people's words.
- DonHopkins 3y agoThe principle of charity says that I should take what you say at face value, which I did. I didn't hold a gun to your head and force you to say "So far the biggest concern I have with the far left". Those were YOUR OWN WORDS. And what evidence do you have of your insidious armchair sociology? Absolutely none. You're just making stuff up, and it justifies blaming women for men becoming rapists as much as it justifies blaming AntiFa for people becoming fascists.
- ithkuil 3y ago> the principle of charity or charitable interpretation requires interpreting a speaker's statements in the most rational way possible and, in the case of any argument, considering its best, strongest possible interpretation note that this doesn't mean "at face value".
