You ask that like I know. Thing is though, you don't either. That's the point.
No that's a pathetic answer, the only context we need to know is that Carl Benjamin is an edgelord with the mentality of a 14 year old, who appeals to people who think their smarter than everyone else but don't have a clue what their talking about.
And your refusal to investigate any further isnt pathetic either?

There are times I really have to wonder if some people really are just that blindly partisan (proving the NPC meme right), or if they're just pretending because they think they'll somehow fool moderates into believing them.

I mean you are also refusing to do the research and basically asking unknownsample to do the research for you side, the defence of Carl Benjamin.

Well done, you are at best as bad as you think he is.

It doesn't come down to "research in order to refute my idea," which is what that argument involves for multiple considerations. When an idea presents itself by one, it's more up to the other person's consideration about the comments being satire, jokes, etc. And not necessarily something that serves as imperative to assertively eliminate it from consideration before dismissing it.

It can be considered a burden of proof fallacy I believe.

As far as I am aware, unknownsample is the one who makes a statement and is thus in the position that he has to proove his point, when being confronted. Basic Discussion Etiquette 101. Come on.

What do I have to prove? Either he said it or he didn't, I have backed up my claim by linking to a news story. Clearspira going on about context is deflection from what Benjamin.

Of course there are people who are just blindly partisan.

And of course there are people who are just being manipulative.

And all kinds of other people too.

I mean, that's a head banging statement right there- what did you think people were like? People are varied and come in all shapes and forms.

You can make anyone sound like a bigot if you take a comment out of context. That's why.
