it does have some qualities of Nirvana fallacy in that it implies my support for a policy is inadequate unless I provide a perfect, personal solution. but thanks for your response.
Nope, these sheriffs do not "want it for elections", they want it for themselves. We're on the same side here and I'm sorry to be antagonistic but I don't agree with you excusing their behavior as principled in any way unless you also do it for sovereign citizens, because it is exactly the same thing: "the rules only apply to me when it's convenient."
Nirvana fallacy, also know as "perfect solution fallacy" is suggesting that no solution is better than an imperfect solution. If I can't have nirvana, I don't want anything.
I see it all the time in online arguments. "Oh, you advocate for housing the homeless? Well then why do you have empty rooms in your house? Just fill it with homeless people." this is an example of the fallacy. It suggests that my solution, "house the homeless" should be discarded because it is not a perfect solution, which would be filling my house up with strangers. The goal is to make me say, "oh, I'm not willing to do that, so we should do nothing instead."
Bad people shouldn't be in positions of power. Why aren't we protected from this? We're being abused and no one is stopping it. I want to send a message somehow.
When I navigate to the article I instantly get a blue and red "sign up" popup that darkens the article behind it and prevents selecting text. Does anyone know how to prevent these? ublock origin is great, but I'd prefer something autonomous that prevents these altogether.
I would argue they are perfectly placed, not misplaced.
My counter argument is that injury and death caused by reckless driving is not solved by the police. And worse, the prison crisis is doing great harm to our society, mostly to people of color.
I was countering what that person said, and you think it's misplaced? I think what you mean is it's not convenient to you. Seems to be a trend.
I'm not working signaling because I never hear anyone say this: The police should be fully abolished, the prisons should be emptied, and the judicial system should be forced to find a way to solve societal problems without them. This is because they are a for-profit, corrupt, wildly inhumane and ineffective system that has resulted in generations of Americans losing their lives behind bars for harmless crimes.
You keep bringing up reckless driving, but the majority people in jail aren't there for vehicle offenses. They're mostly kids who got caught with marijuana. Do you really want a wildly racist institution, which takes away people's freedom for profit to continue to operate just because you're inconvenienced by other people driving?
Stop being selfish. The problem affects more than just you.
I keep saying single-payer healthcare is better than what we have now and get attacked for it. "I'm fine - you're fine - my kids are fine! Stop saying you want everything for free!" Just because we are ok doesn't mean everyone else is, you selfish prick.
No
