Sooooo....I went down to the Tucson occupy, and I was the only guy there.

JUST LIKE WHEN I TROLL FROM PD.

:crankey:

Dok,
What if you had a revolution, and nobody came?

Oh, Tucson. Seriously? I AM ASHAME.

In Portland, the mayor and the police department are joining the rally today for a march down the waterfront.

The mayor is a douche, but a smart douche. It's really hard to feel righteously indignant when the Authoratay is like, standing in solidarity for your cause, man.

Maybe somebody can publicly unmask his bullshit, somehow.

Everybody's done it. Alone and seething with RAAAAAGE, until they get home and look at the calender and say "oh."

When I first started hearing about objections to the Occupy protests, the imediatly reminded me of that fallacious argument Dawkins used at that conference to belittle a woman harassed at night in an elevator.

I think, because I'm seeing this everywhere, it needs a name, so I'm going to start calling it the argumentum ad oblitum, or more simply the Dawkins Fallacy.

The Dawkins fallacy is when a problem of larger scope is used as a foil to dismantle protest over a problem seemingly of smaller scope. The smaller scope argument superficially seems to disappear under the larger scope, but it is actually only dismissed or belittled, not refuted.

The lowest level and least insidious version of this is the child who argues about eating their poorly cooked vegetables and the parent uses children starving in Africa to quiet them. The worst offenders use the foil of international problems to keep individuals from seeking to improve their lives, they should be content with what they have because others have it worse off. Don't like your shitty job? At least you HAVE a shitty job, tones of people don't, so you should be content with it. Don't like getting harrassed in the workplace? Why are you complaining about workplace harassement when women in the middle east have to wear burkhas and get raped daily?

It may be cognitive bias, but I'm starting to see Dawkins Fallacy everywhere.

Also, that second one is terrifying.
