I am more likely to fall for leftist propaganda because I have leftist beliefs, and you are more likely to fall for far-right propaganda because you have far-right beliefs. It's literally just called confirmation bias, and we all do it, whether unconsciously or not. The only way to differentiate is with supporting evidence and/or reasoning.

Never before has that been better described.

My beliefs are not "far-right" but in fact align with classical liberalism, a form of libertarianism.

And it’s just that: classical. Not with the values of the majority of the population, or even most people out there today. When the world creates new rights, abilities, and freedoms, those who hold to the liberal ideas of the past become conservatives because they moved in a different direction. Is moving bad?

People telling you that you're wrong is not "begging the question", and, if anything, it is infinitely more fallacious of you to keep insisting that everyone else's premises are the false ones but yours are conveniently not. Literally every time I have ever seen anyone push back against some ridiculous claim of yours, you turn around and just accuse them of begging the question. It's clear that your incessant need to "own the Libs with facts and logic" or whatever is just preventing you from actually distinguishing facts from logic to begin with, much less understanding anything outside your own preconceived worldview.
@Patriot-#1776Constitution4mos4MO
If you want to go into specifics, I am ready. I Brough up the Question Begging Fallacy only when it was clearly part of a logical argument, in which case it clearly is wrong and irrational to use. If using the Laws of Logic to identify fallacies just so happens to support my preconceived worldview, that's to be expected, as, after looking at massive amounts of evidence and positions on both sides, I chose my view specifically because I thought it was logical. I never confused logic with facts, as the information these users brought up was, at best, controversial, and had not yet been est… Read more
