    Lmao you think I don’t know the Onion is satire? c’mon… you think I was born yesterday?

    Satire is just as effective, if not more effective, at conveying points as anything else. Hence why comedians alive today are the only living philosophers.

    When did I classify this as “proof”? I’m waiting…

      You might be born yesterday if you think satire directly saying your own talking points is effective at proving those points. I feel like you just googled “pride sets back gay movement” and either went with the first link, or after finding out that there is seemingly no evidence or any form of actual research to back up your claim, you went with a satire website.

      If someone replies to someone saying “idk why people are disagreeing with you” and then provides a link to a website, that strongly suggests to me that they’re giving proof as to why the people who are disagreeing are wrong.
