It's called Reductio Ad Absurdum. In argumentation and informal logic, it is a method of refuting a claim by extending the logic of the opponent's argument to a point of absurdity. Also known as the reductio argument and argumentum ad absurdum.

& therefore absurdity is your point/s...........
 
the rules are access fr political speech.. at least the rules used to be that
cancel culture takes all that away with capricious banning.
I'm amazed you are OK with this

I am not OK w/ capricious banning, I am OK w/ rule settings/tos by private entities..

Don't agree w/ the rules, don't post, go some place else where you agree w/ the tos..

Our posting/participation is predicated on compliance to those tos.

Failing to comply has consequences to be decided upon by those private entities~ not those in violation of tos........hats-off-salute-smiley-emoticon.gif

Aug 19, 2020 — Trump urges supporters not to buy Goodyear tires, claiming the company is 'playing politics' by banning his campaign hats. Tires are stacked in ...


A list of people and things Donald Trump tried to get canceled before he railed against 'cancel culture'

August 2012: Trump says Black journalist Touré, then a co-host of the MSNBC show "The Cycle," should be "forced to resign" for comments in which Touré uttered a variant of the N-word while arguing that Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney was using racially coded language to try to make President Barack Obama seem frightening. (Touré had apologized before Trump's demand.)
December 2012: Trump calls for the firing of Vanity Fair magazine Editor Graydon Carter, with whom he had feuded for years, over what he declares the magazine's "worst ever issue."
December 2012: Trump says "Scots should boycott Glenfiddich garbage" because the whisky brand selected Michael Forbes, a farmer who refused to sell his land to make way for a Trump golf course, as "Top Scot" of the year.
March 2013: Trump says, "Everyone should cancel HBO until they fire low life dummy Bill Maher! Get going now and feel good about yourself!"
July 2013: Trump asks people to "boycott & cancel subscriptions" to Rolling Stone magazine.
October 2013: Trump urges "everybody possible" to "cancel their subscription" to New York Magazine over an insulting tweet about Trump's marriage from Dan Amira, who was online editor at the time.
March 2014: After Trump is left off a CNBC list of the most influential business leaders, he says, "Stupid poll should be canceled—no credibility."
May 2014: Trump calls for the firing of, or at least an apology from, the person at The Oklahoman newspaper who wrote a headline calling then-Oklahoma City Thunder NBA star Kevin Durant "Mr. Unreliable." (The newspaper had already apologized.)
June 2014: Trump says people should "Boycott Mexico" until a Marine reservist who was jailed for crossing the border with loaded guns is released from prison. (He was released later in the year.)
April 2015: Trump suggests that conservative writer Jonah Goldberg, then a senior editor of National Review magazine, should be forced to resign for writing that Trump had been "tweeting like a 14-year-old girl" in response to another conservative writer calling Trump a clown. Trump also suggests Fox News anchor Bret Baier should stop having Goldberg on his show.
June 2015: When Spanish-language television network Univision severed its business relationship with Trump after his campaign launch speech, in which he labeled Mexican immigrants as criminals and rapists, Trump tweets, "Anyone who wants strong borders and good trade deals for the US should boycott @Univision."
July 2015: Trump calls for a boycott of Macy's after Macy's discontinued its business dealings with him over those same comments about people from Mexico. Trump also tweets "Great" when someone tells him that people are canceling their Macy's credit cards.
August 2015: Trump calls for the firing of the late conservative writer and Fox News commentator Charles Krauthammer, a regular Trump critic.
September 2015: After National Review editor Rich Lowry argued on Fox News that rival Republican candidate Carly Fiorina had "cut off (Trump's) balls with the precision of a surgeon" in a primary debate, Trump says: "Incompetent @RichLowry lost it tonight on @FoxNews. He should not be allowed on TV and the FCC should fine him!" (Lowry responds, "I love how Mr. Anti-PC now wants the FCC to fine me. #pathetic.")
December 2015: Trump calls for the firing of then-CBS News journalist Sopan Deb and NBC/MSNBC journalist Katy Tur over reporting he disputed about how he handled protesters during a rally speech.
February 2016: Trump says people should "boycott all Apple products" until the company stops fighting a government request to break into the cell phone of a deceased California terrorist.
February 2016: Trump says Fox News should fire Republican strategist and commentator Karl Rove for being insufficiently positive about his victory in the Nevada caucuses.
February 2016: Trump calls on the Wall Street Journal to fire its editorial board, which had criticized him, and its pollster, which showed results he didn't like.
March 2016: Trump proposes a boycott of Megyn Kelly's Fox News show, complaining that it is too negative toward him.
September 2016: After the Dallas Morning News and Arizona Republic newspapers endorse Hillary Clinton for president and USA Today declares Trump unfit for the office, Trump says, "The people are really smart in cancelling subscriptions to the Dallas & Arizona papers & now USA Today will lose readers! The people get it!"
September 2017: Trump tweets that NFL players and other athletes who don't stand for the National Anthem should be told, "YOU'RE FIRED." He says in another tweet, "Fire or suspend!" And at a rally, he says, "Wouldn't you love to see one of these NFL owners when somebody disrespects our flag to say, 'Get that son of a bitch off the field right now, out, he's fired, he's fired.' "
October 2017: Suggesting he could use the power of the state against media entities he dislikes, Trump muses about challenging the broadcast licenses of NBC and other networks over their news coverage. (He again broached the subject of reviewing NBC's license in September 2018.)
November 2017: Trump calls for a boycott of CNN.
August 2018: Trump tweets, "Many @harleydavidson owners plan to boycott the company if manufacturing moves overseas. Great! Most other companies are coming in our direction, including Harley competitors."
June 2019: Trump suggests people stop "using or subscribing" to AT&T to pressure the company to make changes at CNN, which it owns.
September 2019: Trump suggests that actress Debra Messing should be fired for calling on a news outlet to publish the names of people attending a Trump fundraiser and for a tweet promoting a church sign that said "a black vote for Trump is mental illness." (Messing had apologized for the tweet about the church sign.)
January 2020: Trump says The New York Times should fire columnist Paul Krugman, a winner of the Nobel Prize in economics, for having incorrectly predicted a global recession after Trump's victory in 2016.
May 2020: The day after Twitter appended a fact check link to dishonest Trump claims about mail-in voting, Trump threatens to shut down social media companies: "Republicans feel that Social Media Platforms totally silence conservatives voices. We will strongly regulate, or close them down, before we can ever allow this to happen."
May 2020: Trump seeks the firing of Chuck Todd, host of NBC's "Meet the Press," for the show playing a misleadingly shortened clip of comments by Attorney General William Barr. (Todd apologized, saying it was an inadvertent mistake.) Again broaching the power of the state, Trump tags the accounts of the Federal Communications Commission, which regulates television, and its chairman, Ajit Pai.

:hand: :hand: great post thanks
 
I’m not sure what it would take for it to happen and we’ll never see it—but, if the tech *oligarchs* ever happen to become staunch conservatives and start shadow banning, ‘fact’ checking and etc liberals....omg, the caterwauling would be deafening lol.

And entertaining.

:rolleyes: Why put it off on others when you can do it yourself if you are so concerned about it.....

You could start in your own house... You never gave a shit about the trump 1,000 lies a month......

Clean up your own act, clean up your own house & then you go start looking for specs in the eyes of others :nodyes:
 
you mean like when trump called on his goons to not use Amazon or watch CNN, among other goofy things? did you cry great big alligator tears then, trump stooge?
you fucking idiot.
urging a boycott is NOT THE SAME as banning -why do you say this dumb shit always?

if the banning werent capricious you might -might- have a point.but it is
Look at the calls by Dems for violence, interrupt dinners, or Maxine Waters "get in their face"

or just look how ANTIFA and BLM (but especially ANTIFA) use social media to doxx

here's a better idea.
allow free speech -if it's incitement or criminal ( and doxxing in criminal in some states) then alert the cops

What we are doing now is creating an unequal platform for political speech; it may be legal but it's indefensible

It is capricious is your opinion, which we all know means nothing, you are not the owner :dunno:

Look @ those evil dems, they called for violence, & nothing happened.:|

trump did & look what did happen

Note the distinction...........

So while you & other trump apologist make up shit & dig the archives for what someone else said, there are insurrectionist pointing directly @ trump..

Here is but one example:Lawyers representing the Capitol insurrectionists are building a damning case against Trump

Well said. The problem with Reichwingers is that they think they should be allowed to use free services like Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, etc. to say whatever they want including inciting violence, blatantly false claims, racist screeds, name-calling, etc. They don't believe that rules apply to them, just the same as their lost Mango Messiah believes rules don't apply to him. I would bet you a thousand bucks that if the tables were turned and BLM, outspoken liberals like Bernie and AOC, or anyone who openly despises Trump was booted off -- they would be cheering.

Yep, the hypocrisy knows no bounds..

It is part of their entitlement........... Just another grievance they can add to their lists....

Sadly many here, if not most are suffering from severe forms of aggrieved entitlement & can only lash out, barking & flailing like spoiled frustrated children
