its rougher because of america, not in spite of it. its a self-reinforcing feedback loop. implying you are the grown up in the room because you are 'realist' about this or whatever is a classic dimwit take.

Yep, so true. Before 1776 there were no wars and the world was deaf due to sound overload from globally synchronized Khumbaya singing.
Oh yes, the "all or nothing" fallacy. Let's ignore nuance in an effort to win internet points.

I know you're better than that.

Did you read the comment I replied to? Come on, I know you can read that and are capable of simple comprehension.

Pray tell how do you counter an all or nothing assertion?

Such idiotic comments don't deserve nuance.

Also, pro-tip: Just shouting "fallacy", doesn't mean it is.

>Pray tell how do you counter an all or nothing assertion

Simple, you don't engage in it, because you're able to recognize the fallacy. Not every conversation needs to dissolve into a debate-fest.

Let me guess, Russia invaded Ukraine to eradicate the US biolabs breeding nazi GMO mosquitos.
