Serious "Kids in Africa Have it Harder than You" is not a Fallacy

[Hombre]

To put it briefly:

1. People think that this is a fallacy. They say, "this saying invalidates your feelings" or "if this is applied, only the person that suffers the most could complain."
2. This type of saying, in reality, is not a fallacy per se. It is an informal fallacy whose validity depends heavily on the context.
3. The vast majority of times in which people say it is actually a fallacy because of point 1.
   1. 99% of the time is in fact a fallacy.
4. However, there is one instance in which is perfectly fine to use, and it is this:
   1. When you apply it to yourself.
      1. You are the only person that completely knows his circumstances, sufferings, etc.
      2. Hence, you are the only person that can know if you are actually having it better than others.

To exemplify what I have stated above, let me use myself as an example:
Sometimes I complain about my current lifestyle and the predicament which I am currently living. However, I often like to go to bestgore.com and watch a couple of videos to remind me of how better I have it to others. In this instance, I am able to realize that my situation is not as bad or that it could be worse. It makes me feel grateful or even motivates me to not give up. This is just a personal approach. It might apply to others or not.

It is a logical fallacy actually. I forget the exact term for it though

It is an informal fallacy, as I have stated in my post. It depends heavily on the context.

O.K. so why are we still giving money to single mothers? Afterall, kids in Africa have it harder.

This, it's bringing up something irrelevant and used to gaslight the target into believing they no problems.

Also, starving kids in africa aren't my fault, the parents of the kids are ones who decided to fuck non- stop and creating an unsustainable population. Their fucking problem tbh, not ours.

I am not trying to be disrespectful, but it seems that you did not read my post at all.

Isn't the birthrate (and AIDS) really high in Africa? Wouldn't that mean the starving kids that survive ascend quite a bit? Or is it just warlords raping all the foids?

Not about the post about the phrase a hole, sorry about that tbh. I hear this shit so many times from bluepilled retards that it pisses me off, I was venting about how I wish I had a father and NPC cucks just said it wasn't a big deal cos x person in x locaiton!

I understand you. Don't be sorry about that, it happens.

It is an informal fallacy whose validity depends heavily on the context.

Informal fallacies are fallacies.
You lose.

You should be saying "it's not a formal fallacy" rather than "it's not a fallacy"

That's my fault tbh. my thread was titled, '...a fallacy per see,' but I changed it and now is not possible to change it again.

What led to this thread? Was someone talking about handsome africans? Some comment you read on some other forum?

WTF does this have to do with us?

In the sense that I have observed many users here, including myself, complaining about petty things. If you read the bottom of the post you'll see that it is less about discussing the fallacy but about using it in order to increase our awareness.

Petty is subjective.

IE it's wrong to complain about not getting our dicks wet because we could have HIV-AIDS like a homosexual man who got his dick wet thousands of times prior to getting HIV-AIDS.

Usually I see this come up as a way of saying our concerns don't matter.

Meanwhile, the concerns of normies continue to be addressed.

Once again, this is addressed in the post. I do not know if I did not express myself correctly, but my point is that the only person capable of applying the "kids in Africa have it better than you" is yourself, no one else. One is the only one that completely knows one's afflictions and sufferings, so when one objectively apply this saying to oneself, it can alleviate some of those afflictions.

interesting, but doesn't make me feel better. for every gore pic and starving kid in africa, there are chads and chadlites banging foids and having relationships with them among other things.
