I’ve actually had this dispute on Lemmy.
Dude kept insisting I tell him my income but refused to say how or why it would be relevant.
What are your bank details?

To be fair, you did call them a petty tyrant for making a joke about trolling the sovcit posts as an IRS agent.
Also made me curious if you do enjoy some light tax evasion or are into the whole “I don’t pay taxes because I am the only citizen in my own nation inside your nation” thing
Madison420@lemmy.world 4 months ago
Correct, that’s both petty and tyrannical which makes them a petty tyrant ie. Someone who would abuse their power to amuse or be legit themselves. It’s only worse that it’s on sovcit shit because that’s their actual claim ie that government is abusing them.

How? I’m literally pointing out their wish to abuse their power. Why would I dodge taxes if I give a shit about the government working as intended?

Your first mistake was choosing to debate one of the most argumentative people on Lemmy. Can only get weird from there
Madison420@lemmy.world 4 months ago
Not a mistake. I like arguing and getting them to abuse their mod power and admin connections to try to win arguments just makes it more entertaining for me.

More than a dollar less than several billion.

That’s such a low bar for “rich”. The difference between a millionaire and a billionaire is about a billion dollars.
DrDystopia@lemy.lol 4 months ago
About the same ratio as the difference between a thousandaire and a millionaire?
inb4 the tenionaire crowd flaunt their wealth.

Bro you must be 0.01%er in his mind for him to compare you to elon musk lmao, I would take that as a compliment. And he did a foe par asking for your IRL income.

lol, fallacy fallacy
OutlierBlue@lemmy.ca 4 months ago
The best answer to that question avoids all fallacies.
“No”
DragonsInARoom@lemmy.world 4 months ago
Slippery slope, if its no all the time you’ll encounter a situation when yes is a critical answer.
InputZero@lemmy.world 4 months ago
That’s a single authority falacy, in this case there is only one opinion, the person who’s protecting their financial information, to promote the idea of not looking into someone’s bank account. When there could be a legitimate reason to look into a person’s finances.
In all seriousness in so far as the meme is presenting itself single authority is prudent. Like what if every decision about yourself everyone was always a stakeholder? That would be hell.

Why did you post a screenshot of every argument I’ve ever been on on this platform?
MystikIncarnate@lemmy.ca 4 months ago
“No.”
…
Why do people deflect instead of just saying no?
weker01@sh.itjust.works 4 months ago
I was struggling to understand that for a long time too. It seems like it’s a mix of being told that just saying no is not polite and an extreme aversion to conflict. Especially when stating needs.
Some parents actively discourage their children to state their needs clearly and concisely from a very very young age.

Companies that give personality tests in the hiring process are largely looking at your “agreeableness” score. We’re constantly taught that the default answer should be “Yes.” If you’re creative, you might push it to “Yes, and…” But a plain “no” from anyone who isn’t explicitly labeled as a “leader” is a non-starter in systems obsessed with hierarchy.
There are really only three options. Try to climb an existing hierarchy. Make your own hierarchy and place yourself atop it. Or operate within and between hierarchies without unnecessarily validating their existence. That last one’s increasingly difficult by design.
WoodScientist@lemmy.world 4 months ago
Sure, that’s fine in IRL. It fails on any kind of discussion board though, at least for anything not as comically egregious as “give me your banking details.”
DragonsInARoom@lemmy.world 4 months ago
Slippery slope, you have to give the ATM your bank details

Well, they’re a credit union and have branches in quite a few places. Not too certain about their corporate structure, but I’m reasonably sure it’s within nominal terms for a CU. They have what I would consider to be competitive rates for lending, credit, and savings, generally better than what you’d find at a commercial bank. They also have money market and investment options, too. Their customer service is par excellence, and I’m quite satisfied with them.

That is an appeal to authority, but not a fallacious one. Lawmakers know a lot about how and why people steal. Fallacious appeal to authority is when the authority you’re talking about has no knowledge of the topic, for example quoting a psychologist on nutrition advice.

In a way, “because I say so” is appeal to (my) authority
Wogi@lemmy.world 4 months ago
Lawmakers don’t know shit about fuck. Sometimes they have experts available they listen to. Otherwise it’s whoever spends the most, who they’re buddies with, or what just feels like it will jive with their base at the time.

Mr_Fish@lemmy.world 4 months ago
Lawmakers, or at least those advising them, know plenty about theft and all its different flavors. Why do you think rich people theft like fraud is punished so much more lightly than poor people theft?
