This is a classic fallacy.
This is not a classic fallacy. Not at all. I jsut pointe dout the hypocrisy. But once again, I do appreciate that you are at least honest.
I can criticize a socially hegemonic behavior while also engaging in the said behavior, because I am not responsible for the fact that I have been compelled to engage in the said behavior.
You are supporting something which you are against it therefore you are inconsistent. Of course you can pariticipated in it, but once again, it makes you inconsistent and I just pointed it out.
It's like saying "you can't criticize capitalism if you own a smartphone."
A more fittinng comparison would be:
A politcian is talking about global warming and how bad it is to drive but he has a driver licence and he is actually not following his own agenda but he expects everyone else to follow it. This is called ''being hypocritical''. Of course you can do it but once again, some people will call you out for bein inconsistent.
Or "you can't criticize illegal immigration to the US if you eat Mexican food," or, more pertinently, "you can't criticize Arab immigration to Germany if you eat kabobs."
Once again, you are not very consistent here. We also have to point out the general hypocrisy. If we apply your logic, then nobody is allowed to use German inventions, but Germans. Nobody is allowed to use German goods. Of course this also applies vice versa.
All these issues go beyond the mere individual level and what an individual does or does not do.
But not a driver licence. You decided it for yourself. You did it on purpose.
You seem to be projecting egoism onto me, and cannot compute how somebody would think beyond themselves and their own individual selfishness.
Egoism do not have to be badt, but also necessary:
The
self, especially with a sense of
self-importance.
It is about you (yourself) and you have a specific intention which you want to express here.
Because they are directly connected together.
The idea of a car as symbolizing masculinity is directly connected to the idea of work as symbolizing masculinity.
I mean driving and slave your ass away for little money - because I am AGAINST the latter. Most work is not fair at all, in fact, it is unfair and I also had to experience it by mself.
What do most people use their cars for most of the time? To drive to and from work.
And without a driver licence, you cannot even find work in the first place. It is a vicious circle.
Before Auschwitz, where you Germans told Jews they would be "freed through work," how did the Nazis gas Jews? In a motor vehicle
Good question. How exactly did they gas the jews or a better question, how exactly did the Nazis collect 6 million jews and kill them all after 1941 while conducting a war at the same time?
Okay, let's just ignore the lack of physical activity which contributes to obesity.
You are ignoring the impact of the overall diet. People who are obese might also have a tendecy to it due to genetics and then a bad diet on top of it are the cause such problems in the first place and not driving itself (although it might have some impact on it). Also, there are a lot of opportunities to cut down weight, even though it is hard. Instead of driving to McDonalds, people who are obese could drive to a gym or perhaps to a forest, so they can walk for 30 minutes or 1 hour free in nature.
It is a totally correct mindset to associate power with abuse, unlike an egoistic mindset which I see coming from you.
Well, it is up to you how to use your power.
