Doesn't that imply that Netflix was planning to do the same (for their party)? Or are you saying Netflix is innocent here

- pylotlight 10mo agoDidn't you know? It's only bad when the people I don't like are doing it.
- raw_anon_1111 10mo agoWell Netflix hasn’t given Trump a $15 million bribe or any other politician yet.
- bdangubic 10mo agohis son-in-law is outbidding netflix so $15bn maybe would do it :)
- rjmorris 10mo agoNo, it doesn't imply that. Saying party X plans to do something implies nothing about what party Y plans to do.
- chii 10mo ago> Saying party X plans to do something but that's not the whole thing being said. Party X may have been planning on something, but party Y threw a wrench in the middle, causing party X to have to make some response. By implication, party X believes party Y to be throwing a wrench, hence, party X must act. Therefore, party Y also must be planning something that counteracts party X's desires. If it weren't so, party X would not act (as that costs money).
- dragonwriter 10mo agoThe thing that contradicts Party X's desires can just be not doing the thing Party X wants done, it doesn't have to be doing an equal and opposite thing. This seems like a variation on the fallacy of the excluded middle.
- giraffe_lady 10mo agoIt's closer to so-far-unnamed fallacy of "the right has no agency." Everything they do is in response to something done by the democrats or the left or whatever and so they aren't responsible for their actions.
- salawat 10mo agoNetflix and those involved hasn't conclusively metamorphosed into a Larry Ellison-esque state of Lawn Moweriness. Make no mistake, it (Netflix) is still a billionaire corp; on the humanity scale, it scores quite low, but not lawn mower low. They're still outside the Ellison event horizon.
- andsoitis 10mo ago> it (Netflix) is still a billionaire corp What does that mean?
- NoGravitas 10mo agoIt means do not make the mistake of anthropomorphizing Larry Ellison.
- qbit42 10mo agoNetflix wasn't buying CNN.
- the_gastropod 10mo agoBoth-sidesism is a hell of a drug.
