Do you feel the responsibility to argue this, or is it just a bare ass appeal to the moderation fallacy? Is not killing your wife just as extreme as killing her? Are we required to come up with a way to half-kill her in order to sound like serious, nuanced thinkers?
- JumpCrisscross 3y ago> is it just a bare ass appeal to the moderation fallacy Both ends of that extreme happened. Doughty’s preliminary injunction effectively banned the government from communicating with social media platforms [1]. And the appeals courts found that the government had given itself de facto takedown powers. [1] https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Murthy_v._Missouri https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Murthy_v._Missouri
