READERS will note that Novice has deceptively evaded the following arguments:
  • Nothing has been evaded. 
Let's recall your original assertion was: "other significantly worse [than Jan 6th] atrocities and actions of domestic terrorism such as the Black Lives Matter and Antifa."
  • Yeah absolutely. The BLM riots were worse than the Jan 6 riots. 
Your feelings are not evidence.
  • Imagine if i stated that I don't feel or didn't feel I needed to provide evidence that most people sleep at night. Thats, if anything, a reasonable statment as this is a fact. Same with Antifa involvement in the BLM protests
But that's a different attribution than Antifa.  If we are counting every anti-Fascist as Antifa than most loyal Americans are Antifa by that definition.
  • Semantics. Seriously are you this desperate? Anti fascist is Antifa in clear reference. It appears you concede that one of the world's most reliable news sources openly states that significant levels of damage are attributed to them. 
QAnon?
  • Weird. You deliberately cut what I said in a certain way to make it seem as if I said QAnon is beneficial to society. Are you truly this desperate to cling onto anything after having admitted everything I said is true? 
  • Regardless, I think its beneficial to society, communities, schools, and children to recognize that BLM and ANtifa rioters are thugs and barbaric animals that should be in prison, absolutely. In the same way people should recognize that armbed robbers and gangsters are bad. 
Anonymous is not "openly."  Rumours of violence is not documentation of violence although Rose City Antifa does state that endorse the use of violence in response to right wing violence and only in response to right wing violence.
  • Sure it is. It is an anonymous interview where an Antifa member openly says, yes we used violence and feel justified in doing so? It is hard to be more open than this. 

  • You have simply bitten off more than you could chew with this one.
    • Perhaps this is your ego, or perhaps you just don't know the information, but you have admitted to all of my claims. This means
  • You admitted Antifa was involved in riots during the pandemic. 
  • You admitted Antifa was involved in the BLM riots, documented by one of the most reliable news sources in the world. 
  • You drop/concede that a source you call reliable has shown that antifa makes virtually every incident they are involved in more violent and dangerous.
  • As it stands now, you previously argued that Antifa had no involvement. You have conceded this. 
  • Having lost your entire case, we can get to you moving the goalpots to domestic terrorism.
  • The FBI defines it as: 
Violent, criminal acts committed by individuals and/or groups to further ideological goals stemming from domestic influences, such as those of a political, religious, social, racial, or environmental nature.
  • Antifa has committed violent criminal acts in the form of protesting violence
  • They do this based on political ideological goals. 
  • This unquestioanbly fits the crteria for domestic terrorism

"DROPPED ARGUMENTS"
  • Nothing has been dropped so I shall ignore such a silly tangent
And then cited the NY Post as evidence.
  • So? Unless you have a specific disagreement with anything within in, this is simply the genetic fallacy. I don't care what you think about the post. 
  • As I suspected, you have mentioned nothing and obfuscated, meaning the rest of the rambling here has no relevant meaning. 
  • Going back to your own previous admission, given that you have conceded that many violent  Antifa rouge dogs were involved in and arrested in protests I am quite intrigued with the optics here. You have not mentioned a single issue with the source information.
In fact, FOX, QANon, and Russia are the three main distribution nodes for the Antifa disinformation you believe.
  • I think most sensible people who know basic facts can observe the dangerous actions of BLM animals and Antifa thugs. 
  • Even if QA non asserts this, although they are irrelevant, this is an incredibly reasonable position to hold and is beneficial to our nation, our schools, our communities and people.  BLM rioters and Antifa rioters are quite close to terrorists. Anyone should recognize this. 
You said "Antifa was undoubtedly involved in many of the BLM riots"
  • Oh? Interesting. I did not even feel the need to provide anything for this seeing at it is essentially a fact. Seeing as you have conceded to my previous claim, I see no issue with entertaining the doubt. 
  • Here is clear documentation of Antifa's wild savages calling for violence.
    • An antifa activist group disseminated a message in a Telegram channel on Saturday that encouraged people to consider Minnesota National Guard troops “easy targets,” two Defense Department officials said. The message encouraged activists to steal “kit,” meaning the weapons and body armor used by the soldiers. The officials were not authorized to discuss the matter publicly and spoke on condition of anonymity [1]. 
  • Here are more Antifa terrorists openly admitting to organizing and using violence during the Portland George Floyd protest turmoil 
    • Rose City Antifa is one of the nation's oldest active antifa groups. Members rarely give interviews, but two who say they are part of antifa agreed to speak to "Nightline" as the situation in their city of Portland, Oregon, has become a prolonged and destructive stalemate.
      Rose City Antifa members "Milo" and "Ace" use pseudonyms and they asked that their faces and voices be obscured for this report.
      "The use of violence is a tactic of how we keep our communities safe," Milo said. 
      [2].
  • ABC further states:
    • Much of the blame for the chaos, property damage and violence over the last year have landed on the self-described anti-racist, anti-facist far left organizers. The black-clad coterie entrenched in the city's protest movement now find themselves in a tense showdown with city officials [2]. 
  • As it seems, not only was Antifa extremely prominent during these riots, they also openly admit to it and call for violence against police. Given that one pf the most credible news sources in the world asserts this, it appears to be a matter of fact. 
  • Lastly, from the Washington Post:
    • Antifa’s presence contributed significantly to protest violence
      When antifa did attend protests, the incidence of violence was extremely high compared to the level at protests it did not attend. Of the 37 racial justice protests where antifa appeared, 11 — or 30 percent — involved injuries to the crowd; when antifa did not appear, only 2 percent of the protests involved crowd injuries. With antifa present, 14 percent of protests involved injuries to police; without antifa, only 2 percent did. When antifa showed up, 27 percent of protests involved property damage; without antifa, only 4 percent did. And when antifa appeared, 30 percent of protests involved arrests, while only 7 percent of the antifa-free protests did. In other words, Antifa appearances at racial justice protests greatly increased the risk of violence 
      [3].

During the George Floyd protests but your one example was not a George Floyd protest at all. 
  • Moving the goalposts, essentially an admission that I was right.
  • Based on this message you have directly admitted that antifa was involved in riots during the pandemic. 
  • As I stated of course: "Atrocities and actions of domestic terrorism such as the Black Lives Matter and Antifa riots during the pandemic, especially in areas like Portland, Oregon" 
  • You have essentially conceded to me. There is nothing left to argue on. Wow. As I recall, these street thugs were in fact involved in riots during the pandemic:"More than two dozen suspected Antifa rioters have been charged in Portland in the past two weeks, signaling an escalation by both local and federal prosecutors following a full year of riots in the besieged Oregon city."  
Also, you claimed you were citing the New York Times, the paper of record, when you were in fact citing the New York Post, as sensational FOX News tabloid...
  • Well it seems I have made an extremely minor mistake with "post," and "times." No issue there. The rest is an extension of the Genetic fallacy. What specifically in the extremely honest and factual report on the prosecution of these street thugs do you disagree with. I suspect the answer will simply be obfuscation (I don't think you have anything to say after an implicit admission) but"facts don't care about your feelings" as the phrase goes. 
 It seems likely that everything you think you understand about Antifa has been constructed for you by FOX News and QAnon to make you feel frightened.  Making you feel frightened is simply how the right operates.
  • While Fox news is entirely irrelevant to this, if Fox has simply reported that Antifa as we have experinced it is a radical gang of street thugs that cause harm to  people and communities, then sure, thats reasonable. I don't watch Fox so I just don't know. 
  • QAnon is irrelevant to this. I have made a basic factual claim that you have yourself admitted. Your statements are simply immaterial. 
  • I am not scared of Antifa or BLM barbarrric animals. Thankfully I don't live in an area they operate heavily. I think it's better to just remain confident in the police and law enforcement to deal with them.
  • So far, you have admitted to me being correct, so I assume that invalidates your entire write up. Not surprised that you have simply jumped to the most trending talking points.

false claims of impending antifa activity...
  • Antifa was undoubtedly involved in many of the BLM riots, and nothing you have presented even counters this idea, so I don't see the purpose of even posting it. One can easily observe this and it is quite uncontroversial to say so, so I assume you are either misguided, or you just don't know the facts. Thankfully, many of these ruthless animals of the radical left are being arrested. As the New York Times reports: 
    1. More than two dozen suspected Antifa rioters have been charged in Portland in the past two weeks, signaling an escalation by both local and federal prosecutors following a full year of riots in the besieged Oregon city.
      On Thursday, the Multnomah County District Attorney’s Office announced charges against 10 suspects following several grand jury indictments.
      Maximilian Ryan Jennings, 23, James Walker Prettyman, 25, and Thomas Moll-Rocek, 34, are charged with one count each of felony riot, felony first-degree criminal mischief and second-degree criminal mischief.
      The three were indicted over accusations they were part of a black-clad mob that broke most of the windows on the Multnomah County Democrats’ headquarters on Nov. 8, 2020. At the time, Antifa accounts on social media promoted the “direct action” to oppose the presidential election.
  • Simply one piece of evidence is sufficient to disprove your implication that these radical street thugs are simply innocent little boys and girls.

I disagree and to believe a person is sick in head is not intended as an insult.  You take offense when none is given.
    • Silly insult that fails to make any point. 
    This is simple if you stick your nose into a pregnant womans bodily business, without here consent , then you are a virtual rapist.  If you have a better label for people who adhere to these   unethically immoral  practices, the please share. 
    • Questions of morality don't require consent. 
    • You clearly don't know what virtual rape is: in esscense it's sending sexual messages to children as an adult etc. 
      • As for a better label, I could call them morally good people, perhaps philosophers or debaters. I assume people who stand on the right side of a moral dilemma should be ascribed as advocates if anything. 
    Narrow minded fundamentalist is correct assessment of these unethical and immoral attitude towards pregnant women. Please stop the virtual rape of pregnant women.
    • This appears to be a self projection as you are by definition being narrow minded. While imdancin the heroic mother and advocate is willing to engage with arguments you repeat childish talking points without even making a single counter point. 
    • Narrow minded: not willing to listen to or tolerate other people's views; prejudiced (oxford). 
    • As it seems, you most evidently fit this label above anyone. Congratulations. I assume that satisfies your fixiation with it.
    Arguments to altar a fundamentlist unethcially immoral practices. Re-education of the ethics of morality in a civilized community is what is needed for you type of people.  A shrink of some kind or another, depending on the degree of sick in the head.  Its a complicated issue for anyone to deal with.
    • Incoherent  schizophrenic rambling
    Ask any pregnant woman what she has to deal with in her decision making, and you will learn something, tho I doubt any significant percentage would want you  ---lacking empathy for her---  within 100ft of them. 
    • The person you responded to is a mother so you could simply ask her, also pregnancy is pretty rough, that just isn't really an argument that makes homcide or murder moral.

    When people make the claim that Ted Cruz is a liar, it seems incredibly poorly judged. It appears quite evidently that Joe Biden is a significantly bigger liar in any respect than the Texas senator. As a referencial judgement, if people aren't willing to say Joe Biden is a signficiantly worse liar, then the claim that Ted Cruz is a liar becomes an extension of the special pleading logical fallacy.

    • Silly insult that fails to make any point. 
    value any fetal/baby more than any pregnant woman, or her personal concerns and what is best for humanity.  More sex education a--starting at home--- and pregnancy prevention at a minimum for starters.
    • She has not said this. Rather, it appears they value baby's life more than the mother's comfort or convenience. This is not uncommon in any legal imperative between children and adults. 
    Virtual rapist is what you are
    • Ad hominem
    Please keep your nose out of pregnant womens bodily business, whom have not given their consent for you to stick you nose in
    • Morality is not contigent on biological sex. Regardless she says herself:
      • "I am sorry you think so because you don’t know me at all. I am a mother and a grandmother and I work in this field. I love people including mothers as I am one myself. But I value the life in the womb. It is unfortunate you do not."
      • Being a literal mother and someone who works in the medical field (presumably) I'm sure she has much more room to share her opinion on this topic. I suspect she is arguing that we ought to value the life of a process she herself has experienced yet I have not seen you make a single argument in this forum topic other than "religous meanies, bad people, how dare people that disagree me MEeeeEE"

    Narrow minded fundamentalist is correct assessment of attitude towards pregnant women.
    • Ad hominem. 
    • You have not made a single argument, meaning you are by definition being incoherent.

    It is true that people would be encouraged to take down undefeated debaters because it in itself would be an achievement, but they are not a plague to the site. It just means they know what they are doing and can win.
    • The mere existence of an undefeated debater showcases the collective bias and weakness of the DART population. This is the reason I believe they should no longer exist in certain capacities and they no longer will exist (as I would hope).

    Making a new account + Future/current debates
    1. Account

    The reason I will be making a new account is due to complications with my current one, that lie primarily with the information that was used to create it. I have to remain vague on that because some of it crosses into more personal territory.


    2. Debates

    My most recent open challenge is as follows: 

    "NOVICE's FINAL DEBATE: THBT it is not reasonable to blame Tucker Carlson for the Buffalo shooting"
    Accept it at your will. 

    The plan is that this will be my last debate on this account. I have essentially lost faith in a lot of what this site has to offer, most especially its voters. Individuals in the past have made statements that have gradually convinced me that debates, in the format offered by this platform, are on the net, not worth participating in. I do believe I may have a few debates on my new account, but that would be to combat larger items as I see fit. The public forum is a significantly better tool for conducting discussion. I even wanted to have a debate on this specific idea with the undefeated Bones, and that is the only debate I could see having as an exception to my reluctance. 


    3. Undefeated Debaters

    Undefeated debaters are a plague to this site, and should no longer exist. I am quite reminiscent of the day conservative and formerly more active user Fruit_Inspector destroyed one of them in a previous debate, and am eager to replicate that same sucess regardless of whether or not I am debating.

    I think it makes sense for abotion to be illegal from the moment of conception. \
    As it seems, abortion is a grave moral failing of society, and I am personally yet to a decent argument for it.

    I don't even frequently use this forum, but I am yet to see any point that actually explains to us why the circumstances that led to the instanciation of one's life makes their life inherently inferior.

    • So you are saying women that get raped over and over again ought to have the full pregnancies until they cave in and go on the pill permanently just in case they are raped again?
    • If the person gets pregnant consistently, It would be a matter of carrying a child consistently.
      • I have yet to find a situation where a woman is allowed to kill the person that assaulted her afterwards.
        • Therefore, why would I conclude that the woman can kill a baby who lacks any form of guilt in this situation?
          • Conclusion: The logic does not even make sense.

    I don't see any logical reason that says a child's life would become inherently inferior because of the actions of another person. That is an extremely bigotted point of view, hence why abortion must remain illicit in the incident of rape.

    I would say his best showing was against the two gender activists, who 

    1) Could not define the word woman
    2) Claimed they were traumatized by Matt Walsh after the panel (Actually true).

    Bottom line, the conclusion (trans women are women) does not work, if being a woman is entirely contingent on the beliefs of the subject. 
    Masterful work by Mr. Walsh.
