    That’s hardly an argument against it.

    “Lots of people can’t all be wrong.”

    Edit: might as well go back to Reddit. It is more popular after all. They can’t all be wrong. No?

        You literally didn’t. You answered with a logical fallacy. I’m not even saying the conclusion is wrong or right. Just that your way to get there is brain dead. You literally argued “the most popular choice is the best choice.” I weep at whatever schooling system you’re a part of as you clearly are still in school based on your maturity level.

            Lmao there is a certain category of people that always starts using emojis the moment they are copeing.

            Trying to put up points with you looks particularly useless, like speaking to a wall, but I will say for whoever reads this that people using something doesn’t necessarily means they like it. Unless you are suggesting people like to go to the hospital or to their workplace.

          They literally did

          Post asks why doesn’t x happen, they answer “because people like cars”

          They never once gave it a value judgement, that’s on you

            Pretending they didn’t respond again expanding on it is funny. Plus it was an argument against the given one. It wasn’t explaining why it’s not that way. It was explaining why it shouldn’t. Since that’s the structure of the given argument above.

            When someone says we should do X and then you just respond with “no, people love y” you’re explicitly arguing it’s a reason against. We obviously know people have cars. There is no value add to the discussion if it’s truly what you claim, that they are just pointing out the current state of affairs. That’s ludicrous. You’re basically saying “no, they’re just stupid.”

      he isnt arguing that they’re not wrong for liking cars. he’s saying not enough people want this to happen to make it feasible, because people want cars. do you have a chip on your shoulder?

        That’s not what they said. At all. That’s an entirely different argument. If you want to make that one, be my guest. Also take some lessons on reading comprehension.
