DIMMI: “But that will make people feel bad, can we say it some other way?”

NOBILITY: “If the truth makes people feel bad, then they need to learn how to feel differently about the truth. So telling them the truth apologetically and criticizing ‘shaming and rallying’ is how we teach them to feel differently about the truth.”

Tell the truth.

Agree to debate the truth. Agree not to use violence, ridicule, rallying or shaming, if they agree not to use violence, ridicule, rallying or shaming.

Because violence is honest but not helpful, and ridicule, rallying, and shaming are a form of deception – lying. Not truth. Because whether people like something or not has nothing to do with what is true or not.

If they do not agree to debate without ridicule, rallying and shaming, then you do not agree to abandon violence.

We should never take violence as an intrinsically bad thing. Violence is the only warranted response to fraud, deception, lying, omission, distraction – because the reason we enter into debate, and forgo our violence, is so that we may pursue the truth.

If we enter into debate and only forgo our opportunity for violence, the greatest liar wins.

If we enter into debate and agree that we must forgo both violence, and deception, then the greatest truth wins.

So the proper response to postmodern argument in debate, which is the most obscurant and elaborate form of lying yet developed by man, is violence.

“The purpose of debate is the pursuit of truth. The purpose of conflict is to win. If we are in conflict I will use violence and deception. If we are in debate then we are cooperating, and I will not use violence or deception. Therefore I will debate you as long as you do not engage in violence, or deception – where deception includes lying, fraud, deception, omission, obscurantism, ridicule, rallying and shaming. If you engage in any of those, then I will engage in violence.”

This statement alone with win most arguments.

***The only moral questions are those that can be answered via voluntary exchange; and the only immoral actions those that can be solve by exchange but are not.***
