A dialogue with a Sanders voter

I can never decide whether it is more amusing or depressing that these are the sort of people who consider themselves to be better educated and more intelligent. Regardless, it is certainly ironic:

Not all are refugees. But the amount that are far outweigh those that aren’t.

Supreme Dark Lord @voxday
You have it completely backwards. The vast majority are not refugees.

uraniumUmbra @bigbadelite
Proof?

Supreme Dark Lord @voxday
You made a false and baseless claim. Now you want proof? You’re a moron.

uraniumUmbra @bigbadelite
You made a baseless claim then say I’m the one at fault.

Supreme Dark Lord @voxday
You made a totally false claim with zero support. You are wrong.

uraniumUmbra @bigbadelite
Well where the fuck is your proof? I’m open to being proven wrong

Supreme Dark Lord @voxday
You are wrong, you moron. You’ll get as much “proof” as you cited.

uraniumUmbra @bigbadelite
You offered no support either. I guess we are both wrong.

Supreme Dark Lord ‏@voxday
See, that’s why you are a moron. One of us HAS to be right. You’re not.

uraniumUmbra @bigbadelite
Then prove I’m not. This is why you’re a hypocrite.

uraniumUmbra @bigbadelite
If lack of a cited source makes me wrong then same standard to you.

Supreme Dark Lord @voxday
It’s not the lack of a cited source that makes your claim wrong. Idiot.

uraniumUmbra @bigbadelite
Most are running from ISIS. And until Vox here proves me wrong I stand by my claim.

Space Bunnyopoulos @Spacebunnyday
Standing by your baseless and demonstrably wrong claim just makes you an idiot.

What I find fascinating about this exchange is the way in which UrineShadow or whatever his name is observably does not understand the concept of objective reality. And basic logic, specifically, the law of non-contradiction, is also beyond him.

He doesn’t understand that due to the principium tertii exclusi, one of us has to be correct. Either most of the migrants are refugees or most of them are not refugees. The ability or inability of either of us to prove the case is totally irrelevant with regards to who is correct; the facts are what they are because the nature of the refugees is not dictated by our perception, definition, or knowledge of them.


But that is not the only problem. Note his accusation of hypocrisy, when in fact he is the only hypocrite here, demanding proof despite providing none in his original assertion. This is further proof of the Third Law of SJW: SJWs always project.

Contra the dictum of Saint Hitch, who was a witty man, but no logician, that which is asserted without proof cannot reasonably be dismissed without proof. For it is not proof, or evidence, or sources that matter, but truth, which is to say, a subjective opinion that is in line with observable objective reality.

The ability, or the willingness, to demonstrate this harmony is irrelevant with regards to the simple fact of its existence.
