Discussion on the Batman Fallacy

Listen, faggot, I developed something called the Batman

fallacy.

Would you like to hear about it? Let me explain.

It's the assumption that all retribution, all

consequences, all violence is equal,

like Batman. Batman believes if he starts killing his villains,

then he's no better than them. You're telling me that Batman

killing Joker is the same as Joker killing

a mother of four who's done nothing? That's the same?

According to Batman's own definition of not sinking to,

to their level, him killing the Joker from killing

other people is the same as the Joker killing a mother of

four in cold blood for no reason other than to provoke a reaction out of

Batman. The Batman fallacy can be applied to the

Jason Arday situation

in context to the comparative, I

guess, Charlie Kirk response, "Is it the same if I

laugh about it?" No, it's not. You see, Charlie was the

fucking best of us, wasn't he? Charlie was the moderate.

Charlie was the talker. Charlie was the understandable one,

the pragmatic one,

and when he was killed in cold blood while he was trying to talk to them,

to get them to understand, to build a common ground on

which we can all operate, where we are once again merely

humans who can disagree. It's what he was trying to create.

They killed him. Do you think it's the same

if I laugh about

Jason Arday, who swindled an entire

university in the UK? Do you think it's the same if I laugh

about that, that, as them laughing about Charlie?

It's not the same.

The Batman fallacy. You see, their heroes

are villains. They're liars, they're cheats, they're murderers,

they're George Floyd, drug addicts, felons.

They're thieves and shysters and liars,

manipulators. They're violent, they're entitled, and they

are enabled by the state. When our heroes die,

when our people die, they're kids

like Henry Novak, Charlie Kirk, Anne Whitaker, people who stood

by their convictions, good people who were trying to educate themselves,

gain something in life, doing it the honest way.

George Floyd was being arrested because he was a fucking criminal, and he

died because he was OD'ing on the drugs he was on.

So no, it's not the same. It's the Batman fallacy.
