Bad faith arguments on the internet (particularly libertarians): Rational Person (P): 2+2=4. Libertarian (L): Actually that is not true. P (holding two apples): would you agree that this is two apples? L: y P (holding another two apples): Now? L: of course. I am very smart

We really need the logical fallacy referee memes to make a comeback; they really are the perfect vehicle to simultaneously convey that someone is egregiously wrong and also not worthy of serious consideration. I angered a lot of bad-faith actors using them for a while. 😂

P: (lines up the apples) Now we have two apples and two apples. How many do you count? L: One of those apples has a worm in it, therefore it does not count. P: Which apple? L: according to very smart statistics, one out of every four apples has a worm. P: source? L: what is your source for 2+2=4?
