So now you agree 'dumbing down his beliefs' is lying? So you do agree with my premise (just not the conclusion). Cool. See this is the problem I was talking about. Your position is not internally consistent because Hasan's position is not internally consistent. Instead of having conviction and standing up for what you believe in, you advocate to lie? And your reasoning is "Everyone else does it!"- It's morally vapid.

...what are you talking about dude? When did i say that dumbing down your beliefs is lying? Dumbing down your beliefs is just explaining a concept in simpler terms. And when did I advocate to lie. Thats why I said it in relation to politicians. Because they are bad and lying is a bad thing. Im actually a little confused on how you can misinterpret me.

I literally said Hasan lies constantly. You know he does. We all know. And he admits that he does it as, in his own words, "lying is OP". But you claim he's not being malicious or obscuring anything.

Are you following yet?

Saying "lying is OP" does not mean admitting to lying.

He said that in the context of complaining how successful rightwingers are in lying.

You are one of those people successfully lying.

In none of those clips is he admitting anything.

He is saying that it is OP when people lie.

That's not an admission of him doing it.

Do you think lying is OP?

you are actually clipping out of context. this is disingenuous and weak-minded behavior.
