- #21599:44upheld Styxhexenhammer666 epainos: evidence (+1)
The council upheld the call: Styxhexenhammer666 earned 1 point.
“Well, the trans agenda can't even get past the feminists. They're constantly killing and attacking one another. You look at a a shoe on head and her drama there getting beaten up over that too.”
Diogenes: Read blind, without being shown any call on this passage. Rather than merely asserting that top-down social engineering fails, Styx points to a specific, checkable instance of infighting within the feminist/liberal-left sphere (the ShoeOnHead controversy) to back his running claim, stated earlier at 04:08 ("counter propaganda is way more powerful... than Margaret Sanger and all these people ever could possibly have dreamed of"), that coordinated agendas run aground on internal resistance. It's a light, glancing rebuttal to Jay's "Fortune 100 are behind it globally" and doesn't refute corporate funding directly, but it names a real, checkable example rather than resting on bare assertion, and it is consistent with his prior position rather than an ad hoc dodge.- Aristotle uphold: On the record: S0 has held since the opening a pragmatic-consequentialist skepticism of top-down social engineering, backed at 04:08 by the claim that counter-propaganda/memetics defeats such agendas; the 09:44 line is a direct application of that same claim with a named example, not a departure. Styx set out at 02:44-04:08 a running claim that top-down social-engineering agendas (Sanger's, the "Fortune 100" trans agenda Jay just invoked at 09:32) run aground on organic counter-forces, naming "counter propaganda" and "memetics" as the mechanism. The 09:44 line applies that same claim by pointing to a real, named, checkable instance (ShoeOnHead's public falling-out with feminist/left circles) rather than resting on bare assertion — thin as citations go, but it clears the low bar for a minor evidence point, and it is a continuation of his opening framework, not a new or contradictory position.
- Socrates uphold: Read blind, found "evidence". Styx is backing his broader thesis (stated a few lines earlier: "counter propaganda... memetics is way more powerful" than top-down social engineers) with a specific, checkable instance rather than a bare assertion — naming ShoeOnHead and the internal feminist/left infighting around her as a concrete case of the movement fracturing under its own contradictions. It's a named, verifiable example doing real work for his claim, so it scores as evidence rather than mere rhetoric.
- Plato uphold: On the record: S0 has held since 04:08 that top-down social-engineering agendas ("counter propaganda is way more powerful... than Margaret Sanger... ever could possibly have dreamed of") founder on organic internal resistance; this line names a specific, checkable instance (the ShoeOnHead/feminist infighting controversy) in direct support of that standing claim, consistent with my earlier overturn of the red-herring call on this same passage. Naming a real, identifiable controversy (ShoeOnHead) as a checkable instance of the internal collapse he's predicted since 04:08 is a light but genuine evidence citation rather than bare assertion, even though it only glances off Jay's specific "Fortune 100" point.
