Is there a difference between the two?
And social media has the most control.

You can watch people succeed, suffer, die, win, and lose without anyone actually getting hurt.

Key difference is that while a show like Breaking Bad might employ violence to further the plot/characters, it's never glorified or glamorized. The violence is always presented in a negative light.Your avatar straight up romanticized graphic violence against the president. Apples and oranges.

And you literally just made that argument lmao, "pointing out" something is making an argument.Again, why does it matter if I'm disagreed with? That has no bearing on the truth.

Quote from: Annie on June 13, 2017, 03:28:07 PMMight makes right is argumentum ad populum, just worded in a less pretentious way.wrongmight makes right is the principle that the physically strong have moral precedence over the weaksomething i vehemently disagree withthe not-pretentious way to say "argumentum ad populum" is "appeal to majority"might makes right is a completely separate thing, because it states that one physically strong man has moral priority over a hundred physically WEAK men, just because they cannot defend themselves against the stronger man
QuoteAnd you literally just made that argument lmao, "pointing out" something is making an argument.no, it isn'tif i point out that your fly is down, i'm not making an argument, i'm pointing it out to embarrass you
QuoteAgain, why does it matter if I'm disagrees with? That has no bearing on the truth.it doesn't, but it's still worth pointing out
Actually, might makes right refers to the idea that if I can dominate you physically, I also dominate you ideologically. It can be applied on a national, social, or individual scale.But words and phrases, you know, evolve, and it's apt and clever to use it as "if I can dominate you by majority opinion, I also dominate you ideologically."
You're making a point, which is a board of an argument.Argument [2]: a reason or set of reasons given with the aim of persuading others that an action or idea is right or wrong.The argument "your fly is down" is trying to either a) persuade others that the action of pulling it up is right, if you're trying to help; or b) persuade others that the idea that it's down is embarassing, if you're not.There's a reason why statements in coding are called "arguments".
If it didn't matter, it wouldn't be worth pointing out.
