Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick named the bill one of his legislative priorities after Mark Cuban, the owner of the Dallas Mavericks, stopped playing the anthem before home games.
I said it doesn’t surprise me that a researcher believes it is. I’m not really appealing to anyone or anything if I don’t make an assertion.
You endorsed the conclusion, whether you’re willing to admit it or not, and the fact that you would even advance this argument is proof that you’re not interested in good-faith dialog (as is this completely unhinged rant in this thread).
sorry if anything I said was offending to you, but reading it back, I do not see where I was being aggressive, so I don’t really understand what made you assume I’m not endorsing his view on the topic, I’m arguing in bad faith, or that the examples I gave in my comment make a “completely unhinged rant”.
just to clear, I did endorse his concluision, because I partly agree with it. I think American nationalism has very detrimental charachteristics that resemble an unhealthy religion and I think it can (and has in the past) cause great harm, to Americans themselves and to the rest of the world. do I personally believe that it is indeed a religion? no.

I don’t understand how you reached such a conclusion, but I shared an educational video, and you implied I was using fallacies, to which I responded explaining how I wasn’t doing that. how does it mean I’m arguing in bad faith?
(as is this completely unhinged rant in this thread).
well, you’re kinda right, I guilty as hell when comes to ranting xD
but I think I provided some good examples of why I think his conclusions are not far from truth. you can watch the videos for yourself and make your own informed opinion.
I’m not going to play sophistry with you. Bye.
that’s a bit ironic, because you’re accusing me of logical fallacies and sophistry, but you’re the one who made the discussion about me by going off-topic.
ps: would be interesting if you happen to be an American who was too offended by my statement about american nationalism, and it made you practice some American nationalism. it would be all paitriot-ception.
