Every insane thing has “common sense” behind it.

The earth is obviously flat. When I walk outside, the ground is flat. You’d be crazy to believe it’s round. It’s just common sense

You can’t just change the definition of common sense bruh

et “ there is no scale “

in response to bmass saying he tries to steer the convo to be more general and larger in scale

Evidence being kept by one party doesn't make the difference between something being or not being blackmail? That's the argument you're making?

Common sense is entirely subjective bro. What you think is common sense is not what someone else thinks is common sense. Two exact opposite viewpoints can both be based on common sense

What do you think blackmail is if it's not that

I wasn’t trying to is what I meant. You either accept a code of silence isn’t blackmail or you don’t. People don’t refer to that as blackmail.

Its not just a code of silence stop being intentionally vague

No one is trying to say just a code of silence is blackmail

Its a code of silence where one person is keeping evidence of the other party

No, the argument I’m making is that you’re using semantics to try to define blackmail literally. Whereas I’m saying a code of silence isn’t blackmail in a conversational sense.

most people absolutely accept that if you secretly recorded somebody raping children and then hold onto it, thats blackmail. even if youre in it raping too

He is a nice man but he argues like the most bad faith prick in the world

If you’re using it to obtain money or favors, yes. If it’s solely part of a code of silence, no, not in the way that the average person thinks or talks about blackmail.

yes it is

and more importantly its the defitnion of blackmail lol

ok but listenn nothing to do tomorrow what am i rushing for

Nobody defines it as blackmail.

Two men kill someone. One keeps the murder weapon, the other keeps the victim’s bloody shirt. To ensure a code of silence.

It’s not blackmail the way people think about blackmail.

Bruises is a trooper

Good night beautiful people itt

Again, you want to argue semantics. No one’s first thought on a code of silence would be blackmail.

Adultery is having s***with someone that’s not your spouse. If you found out that a couple had a threesome, you could say they committed adultery. Nobody would say that though because that’s not how we conversationally define adultery, even though it fits the literal definition.

Idk how else to get this across

I want a 400 pounds person on my back crack it

This argument is being attributed to me but for 99% of its duration it was just et and Tuneout

ironic u are accusing me of arguing semantics lol thats like your go to
