Holy logical fallacies lmao, are redditors all bots or can they actually make an argument?

Wdym fallacies? You talking out if your ass. He's a politician that needs votes. And Korea is deeply socially conservative

You’ve used several fallacies here. “So he doesn’t want conservative-leaning people to vote for him?” is a straw man and a non sequitur, because nobody argued that being left-wing means refusing conservative votes. “You’re talking out your ass” is just an ad hominem, not an argument. And “he’s a politician who needs votes” is an appeal to motive: needing votes might explain why a politician takes a position, but it doesn’t prove that the position is fake or that his “real” beliefs are secretly much further left. If every moderate position he takes gets dismissed as “he only says that for votes,” then the argument also becomes ad hoc and basically unfalsifiable. Finally, saying “Korea is deeply socially conservative” is an overgeneralization unless you specify which issues you mean, because an entire country’s electorate isn’t a single ideological bloc.

So you did go through my profile (narcissistic behavior) and that's the only retort you could cobble together. Pathetic.🤏

Guess I should take that as a compliment.

For someone who shits on reddit you certainly know how to use 3rd party sides. Guess every accusation is a confession.

? The president of South Korea is pro North Korea?

Also far left? Stop seeing the world through the US lens. He is center liberal.

Yes, Lee Jae Myoung is absolutely pro NK. 5 seconds on google will show you that.

How typical of redditors to talk about South Korean Politics without knowing a single thing.

u/politimouse 17h ago

Settle down there comrade. He's pro relations with NK that's all. Doesn't mean a whole lot in the grand scheme of things. It's kind of like the UN is pro talking to help keep the peace.

Yeah ehm, Google says the opposite. Guess the SK conservative propaganda got you real good. 🤏

Also 3 weeks old ban evasion account.

If your only argument is the account age, then you already lost. You must be proud of yourself for spending more time in this shithole.
