    Where exactly have I attacked you or told you what you believe?

    Asking people to pick their box is a pretty quick and effective way of shaking out peoples positions, and either understand why my framing is wrong, or shake out peoples’ positions quickly.

    In response to you saying indigenous represesentation in the constitution is racist, I pointed out the existing racial inequality, and pointed to the 2 possible root causes. I assume you don’t think the gap is genetic, so how do we address the gap, and racism baked into the system without mention of race (or whatever you belive crosses the line into racism) - this is straight to the point, and you ran from it.

    So far, you’ve told me I don’t understand your positions as you’ve dodged just about every question I’ve asked about them, and made assertions like I don’t understand the definition of racism while failing to point out where my definition is wrong or provide an alternative. This is bad-faith behaviour, and the kind of nonsense I see from the likes of closet Nazis who will turn up, ‘just ask questions’, and sow seeds of doubt while trying to hide their beliefs because they know it’ll scare away any sane person, but will drop straight to the JQ when you ask a couple of questions. I don’t think you’re a Nazi, but I do wonder why you’re sticking around to use so many words to say so little.

    I’m perfectly happy being hostile toward racists, and want division between myself and Nazis - they didn’t reason themselves into the racism, so I’m not going to be able to reason them out of it, so chasing them off and ridiculing then seems reasonable enough. If you’re carrying on like a bad-faith actor, dodging my questions about what you believe while making unsubstantiated claims about me, where does that leave us?

      You called the man a racist and in this responce called him a nazi and a facist.

      You fail to understand that the world canot be divided into boxes of black and white and in fact consists upon a spectrum of grey.

      Again you are assuming the root cause is in some sence based upon race, ironicaly the stolen generation disproves that (its a tragedy and never should have happened but go measure those metrics ur so concerned with). He ran from no point u raised that without adressing his original points.

      Again calling the man a nazi for asking questions and calling that bad faith is itself bad faith and sowing seeds of doubt in his charecter (not a good look when someone is trying ti engage with you and understand and question ur point of view).

      You then wrap this all up by straight up assuming this dude is a full blown nazi and that its you duty to ridicule them. I think if you go and look at a certain angry mustache man from history you will find he got his original support from speaches where he quite literaly reason people into being nazis. Assuming its ur goal to reduce rasism (im assuming ur not just part of a false flag opperation) it is in ur interest to engage with them in good faith to try change their mind.

      You finish with

      If you’re carrying on like a bad-faith actor, dodging my questions about what you believe while making unsubstantiated claims about me, where does that leave us?

      Without realising you arw the one who has been making unsubstantiated claims aboit charecter and engaging in bad faith i suggeat you think criticaly about everything you think and say to try break down your arguments from all perspectives. To argue with yourself in the shower to take nothing at face value to use that noggin of urs to find the incentives for why people act the way they do. And maybe in this proccess you will leaen something about human nature and yourself. Heres hoping anyways

      Only read this after you have sent ur responce:

            I called you a liar because you were lying. I not only didn’t call them a Nazi, I actively said I don’t think they’re a Nazi. If you’d like to quote me calling them a Nazi, I’ll happy walk that back with an apology.

            If you get upset about your lies being called out, just don’t tell them. It makes life far simpler.

                If I wanted to call them a Nazi, I would have called them a Nazi (same way I’m calling you a moron, having demonstrated it), rather than actively saying I don’t think they’re a Nazi.

                I thought I told you to get past this nonsense - it’s deeply weird for you to jump in and get obsessive about me not calling someone a Nazi, and pointing out what a moron you are is getting tired.

        You don’t actually expect to be taken seriously, do you?

        You’ve seen me ask this person questions to shake out their views, then when they’re repeatedly dodged, noted that I frequently see this particular brand of evasiveness from the likes of Nazis while explicitly saying I don’t think they’re a Nazi.

        You’ve jumped in like some kind of weird white knight, as though they can’t speak for themselves, tell me I’m calling them a Nazi Then with that moronic, dishonest interpretation of what I’ve said on the table (a big ol’ lie), you then saw fit to whine about nuance, then move to telling me I’m making unsubstantiated claims.

        Why do you act the way you do? Having spent the time to use that noggin of yours to find my incentives as you preach, what do you hope to achieve with these lies?

          I was simply pointing out ur hypocracy. I jumped in to ridicule ur utter lack of critical thinking perhaps to help you understand that by advocating for such a thing can just as easily be returned upon u.

          Why do i act the way i do? Because im an engineer who when faced with an issue choose to look at numbers, statistics, and history. Hard facts. I then attempt to come as close to an objective framework as possible. From that point i simply apply the scientific method and gradient decent to find a solution that makes the most change in the most effective manner.

          I am simply trying to emplore you to think about issues criticaly and not just spout the same retoric you have been told to think. I do not lie i draw a perspective from reality same as everyone.

            What hypocrisy did you point out?

            • You led about me calling them a Nazi - I did the opposite, stating outright that I don’t think they’re a Nazi.

            • You lied about me assuming the root cause is race - I never said this, and heavily implied it’s systemic (rather than genetic).

            • You lied about the unsubstantiated bad-faith claims - I tied this firmly to the evasiveness - particulary when asked if the root cause is genetic or systemic

            • You made incorrect assumptions about me losing it and calling you a Nazi.

            • You lied about not lying.

            So much for those “Hard facts”. For you to then tell me to think critically and that you draw your perspective from reality after grounding everything you have to say in utter bullshit is laughable.

            I’ll concede on the lying point if you bite the bullet and admit you’re just a moron, but sadly that doesn’t make you any less wrong, or worth listening to.

              U said and i quote “This is bad-faith behaviour, and the kind of nonsense I see from the likes of closet Nazis” pretty clearly implying they are a nazi ill concede u didnt outright call em a nazi if u bute the bullet and admit u just used the same bad faith inplication that you accused them of. Sounds hyporcritcal to me.

              So according to u its systematic which would imply the system is working against them. Would a system without racism not equally effect everyone whos part of it? If so then either ur wrong and the syatem isnt agains them or u are implying racism and therefore race is the root cause. Im not sure u truely beleive in anything except that which fits the natative u already have in ur head.

              No i knew u would read it before responding and thus to prove me wrong would not lose it and call me a nazi (i like to think of it as reasonability insurance).

              Lied about lieing now thats just a catch 22 at best and a logical paradox at the worst.

              The only thing my entire argument is grounded in is u having no ability to understand any perspective other than ur own and that i dont beleive we should make any division based on race. You just called both tgese lies so please demonstrate otherwise.

              If ur willing to concede thinking im a lier that would mean ur willing to concede on what u think is reality, thats prerry telling of u as a whole.

              Ur welcome to call me a moron i emplore you to continue to use schoolgrpund insults and demonstrate ur superior intelect.

                Any ambiguity about this “implication” gets cleared up pretty damn quickly when I explicitly said “I don’t think you’re a Nazi”, no?

                So according to u its systematic which would imply the system is working against them. Would a system without racism not equally effect everyone whos part of it?

                Call it what your like - the system has measurably different outcomes for people of different races - do you deny the disparity in outcome, or do you behove the disparity is genetic? Either position is ridiculous. Alternatively, feel free to bring an alternative forward. In any case, in a racist system, the victims of that racism aren’t the problem - the racism is - whether it be a product of active malice, or just the well-intentioned product of a carelessly designed system. Where are you going with this?

                No i knew u would read it before responding and thus to prove me wrong would not lose it and call me a nazi (i like to think of it as reasonability insurance).

                Totally non-falsifiable, and irrelevant. You’re awfully concerned about being called a Nazi by someone on the internet that isn’t calling you a Nazi or even saying anything that implies anything of the sort. You presumably know you’re not a Nazi - even if I were to call you one, it would change nothing, and I’d look dumb if I didn’t substantiate it. It’s weird - get past it.

                Lied about lieing now thats just a catch 22 at best and a logical paradox at the worst.

                I am from the moon. I never said I was from the moon - a lie about a lie. No paradox… Unless you’d like to join the dots there?

                The only thing my entire argument is grounded in is u having no ability to understand any perspective other than ur own and that i dont beleive we should make any division based on race.You just called both tgese lies so please demonstrate otherwise.

                The system as it stands has massive disparities in outcomes along racial lines. To defend the status quo is to defend the materially worse outcomes for indigenous Australians. That’s an existing, measurable divide along racial lines that I’d like to bring to a place of equality. The closest I came to a comment about not being able to understand a perspective other than my own was to mock the notion that your perspective was based on reality after pointing out that it’s based on lies. There’s yet another lie. Again, quote me if I’m wrong.

                If ur willing to concede thinking im a lier that would mean ur willing to concede on what u think is reality, thats prerry telling of u as a whole.

                I’ve pointed to the clear lies (or the alternative idiocy explanation) - with this in mind, one of the following is true…

                • You don’t believe the perspective you’re putting forward

                • You believe the perspective, but need to lie to defend it (this is what I suspect), meaning it’s indefensible at worst, or it’s not worth hearing from you at best

                • You’re too dumb to comprehend simple statements I’ve made (e.g. I don’t think you’re a Nazi), or engage with reality - worthless either way.

                What idiot would take a position they’ve proven is based on lies seriously?

                Ur welcome to call me a moron i emplore you to continue to use schoolgrpund insults and demonstrate ur superior intelect.

                Thanks for the post-hoc permission, but there’s no pride in clearing such a low bar.

                I’m never going to know if I’m right that you’re lying to defend your genuine perspective, but I’ll ask anyway - if you need to lie to defend your positions, why do you cling to them… Why not just take an honest position? It makes life far simpler, and if you’re refining those positions when you learn they’re indefensible, they’ll get better over time.

                  Absolutely not that’s like me saying i punch anyone who is a Nazi then proceeding to punch you then say well i don’t think you a Nazi. The implication still stands now its just ass-covering in the shallowest form.

                  Previously u said “You lied about me assuming the root cause is race - I never said this, and heavily implied it’s systemic (rather than genetic).” i used logic to prove it being systemic is a race issue hence without race the issue would not exist therefore it is a problem of race/racism. You talk a lot about how “the system has measurably different outcomes for people of different races” without race you cannot make that measurement hence you are either unnecessarily defining an issue by race or the race itself is the issue I highly doubt its the race itself and in fact would actively fight against such a notion. I was simply pointing out how the Lie I allegedly told was actually just the logical extension of your very own assertion.

                  Totally non-falsifiable, and irrelevant. You’re awfully concerned about being called a Nazi by someone on the internet that isn’t calling you a Nazi or even saying anything that implies anything of the sort.

                  I was simply defending some innocent person (who did not appear to be a Nazi) who you implied was a Nazi. It is not falsifiable hence why i said i think of it as insurance (seems to be working). My perspective believes that implying something is just the cowards way of saying something hence didn’t lie you called him a Nazi (Or don’t have balls to actually say it).

                  I am from the moon. I never said I was from the moon - a lie about a lie. No paradox… Unless you’d like to join the dots there?

                  Ok so its a catch 22 like a fee fee or a punishment for being punished.

                  The system as it stands has massive disparities in outcomes along racial lines. To defend the status quo is to defend the materially worse outcomes for indigenous Australians. That’s an existing, measurable divide along racial lines that I’d like to bring to a place of equality.

There’s yet another lie. Again, quote me if I’m wrong.

                  so the system effects the race and to fix the system you wish to address the race is that is that a solution to a symptom or are you not simply separating the way u refer to the same thing would that not mean that it is one in the same would that not also mean it is a different same way of refer to the root cause of the issue. I only assumed you believed the root cause was race/racism because I though u where smart enough to address a root cause not a symptom.

                  I have never defended the status quo simply that there should not be a divide of race within the constitution. As i said many many replied ago its a correlation to argue anything else is to argue that its race (the system as u put it see paragraph above). So far I have logically proven why every aspect of my perspective you have called a lie is in fact based in reality, will it be perfect no! But then again nobodies perspective is. You might find this hard to comprehend but 2 perspectives can be based in the same reality same facts and fundamentally disagree.

                  I’ve pointed to the clear lies (or the alternative idiocy explanation) - with this in mind, one of the following is true… You don’t believe the perspective you’re putting forward You believe the perspective, but need to lie to defend it (this is what I suspect), meaning it’s indefensible at worst, or it’s not worth hearing from you at best You’re too dumb to comprehend simple statements I’ve made (e.g. I don’t think you’re a Nazi), or engage with reality - worthless either way.

                  so i just went back to make it abundantly clear why every so called “lie” i have allegedly told is in fact the logical extension of ur beliefs or in fact grounded in reality/common inference.

                  You’re too dumb to comprehend simple statements I’ve made (e.g. I don’t think you’re a Nazi), or engage with reality - worthless either way.

                  Ive never said u called me a Nazi i simply ensured that ur ego would prevent u from falling back on it and force u to rely on logic. Now we have established you calling me a lier was in fact one of 3 options u provided above please enlighten me to when when i have failed to engage with reality (make sure to include this as a list will make it easier for me to cut strait to the point and disprove them).

                  Now let me explain the fourth option you have failed to provide. I provided a perspective that dividing race in the constitution goes against equality and can be argued is in fact racist itself. You where unwilling to accept this perspective and tried to steer the argument away from this to focus on other issues (the system). I agree the system is broken and actively argued we should address it and not race. You still pushing that we should address race than blamed the system and called me a lier for assuming by the system u meant race/racism. You then completely derailed the entire discussion preferring to take moral high ground and leave my whole original point alone because you cannot reconcile that perhaps dividing based upon race is in fact all the things you stand against while actively defending such a decision.

                    Nazis drink water. I drink water. Did I just call myself a Nazi? Moron.

                    i used logic to prove it being systemic is a race issue hence without race the issue would not exist therefore it is a problem of race/racism.

                    If you want to draw racism as a conclusion from what I’ve pointed out, fill your boots - but to say that’s what I said is a lie.

                    I was simply defending some innocent person (who did not appear to be a Nazi) who you implied was a Nazi. It is not falsifiable hence why i said i think of it as insurance (seems to be working).

                    This shit again? Albert Einstein breathed air - so do you… You’re a weird moron, not a genius. Stop being weird and dumb. The empassioned white-knighting of a total stranger that I didn’t call a Nazi is so strange. I’m not touching this further - it’s dumb, irrelevant, obsessive, and boring. I’m clearly not afraid to call people names.

                    Ok so its a catch 22 like a fee fee or a punishment for being punished.

                    You don’t know what catch 22 or irony mean. No matter. Why would a lie about a lie be a logical fallacy, as you seem to imply? When it comes to pointing out your lies, it’s just another to count.

                    so the system effects the race and to fix the system you wish to address the race is that is that a solution to a symptom or are you not simply separating the way u refer to the same thing would that not mean that it is one in the same would that not also mean it is a different same way of refer to the root cause of the issue.

                    That’s… A sentence. In what way does the voice “fix” anyone’s race? If I shoot someone, the victim of the shooting isn’t the “root cause” - the shooter is. If a system is racist, the victim of the racism isn’t the root cause, the racism is. This just looks like victim blaming - would you just get to the point on this one, please? It seems you’re working overtime failing to set something up here.

                    I have never defended the status quo simply that there should not be a divide of race within the constitution.

                    No voice to parliament is the status quo - are you for the voice to parliament?

                    As i said many many replied ago its a correlation to argue anything else is to argue that its race (the system as u put it see paragraph above). So far I have logically proven why every aspect of my perspective you have called a lie is in fact based in reality, will it be perfect no! But then again nobodies perspective is. You might find this hard to comprehend but 2 perspectives can be based in the same reality same facts and fundamentally disagree.

                    I don’t care about the correlation - I care about the fact that we have a group we’ve robbed and genocided, leaving them materially worse off by almost any metric you’d like to look at. The system has materially worse outcomes for these people - unless you’d like to blame their genetics. When you have a system that creates this situation, what do you do to fix it? Again, there’s a reason I’m saying you’re defending the status quo - you’re pushing against change without offering an alternative, condemning us to the perpetuation of the current gap. The gap isn’t something you can credibly disagree with.

                    so i just went back to make it abundantly clear why every so called “lie” i have allegedly told is in fact the logical extension of ur beliefs or in fact grounded in reality/common inference.

                    You did a piss-poor job of drawing those links - I stand by the fact that you lied - hell - you conceded you lied.

                    Ive never said u called me a Nazi i simply ensured that ur ego would prevent u from falling back on it and force u to rely on logic. Now we have established you calling me a lier was in fact one of 3 options u provided above please enlighten me to when when i have failed to engage with reality (make sure to include this as a list will make it easier for me to cut strait to the point and disprove them).

                    Christ - you’re a fridge-temp IQ logic lord. The lies were the non-reality you based your argument on. I’ll also point out that your argument so far seems to be “I don’t like to acknowledge race when dealing with problems - don’t call me a Nazi”, which… Sure.

                    Now let me explain the fourth option you have failed to provide. I provided a perspective that dividing race in the constitution goes against equality and can be argued is in fact racist itself. You where unwilling to accept this perspective and tried to steer the argument away from this to focus on other issues (the system).

                    That’s not an explanation of the cause of the problem, it’s a prescription about the solution. Yes, in talking about the problem, I chose to talk about the problem.

                    You then completely derailed the entire discussion preferring to take moral high ground and leave my whole original point alone because you cannot reconcile that perhaps dividing based upon race is in fact all the things you stand against while actively defending such a decision.

                    You’ve failed to present any solution to the massive division along racial lines that results from the system - I know you don’t want to divide people based on race, but I’ve shown they are already - what’s your solution? The rest of this is irrelevant bullshit, and a product of the lies I felt compelled to point out.

I give zero flying fucks what the cause is I will fight inequality at any point I possibly can. I am not willing to compromise on equality off all peoples and if you would like to argue that its a necessary evil for the greater good i know of a very angry, very dead Austrian, who used those exact same arguments.
