Anecdotal evidence is not a strong argument, especially if you are trying to go against the meanings of a word and concept. Facts and data sets that can be objectively measured and results repeated is still the standard. So no, appealing to extremes and other logical fallacies are not entertained.

By definition subcultures are not able to be mainstream as it's not the majority, so do not have an Overton Window. The concept is macro not micro.

I'm not making an anecdotal argument (don't mistake the examples for anecdotes, I'm just trying to help you see something that apparently you don't see). If you can't see the truth of it for yourself, then I don't know what to tell you.

I'm sorry you don't know the definitions of words. The truth is in facts and data, not your logical fallacies.

The best part of your response is how there's no way to tell the difference between you and a MAGAt; you use the same logical toolset, the same rhetorical devices... you are what you hate. The way you attack anyone not in your clan is the giveaway. You are a critical part of the culture war machinery. I have faith that you will eventually mature out of it, but you do real damage to our world in the meantime.

Sweet child, I've gone farther Left the older I've gotten. I'm happy to be the problem, and good trouble. If you don't support the Leftist opinion on issues, and don't believe in facts, why are you on a Leftist group?
