It seems you do not understand the irony in your stated position, ergo those whose positions you deem “invalid” are necessarily “crazy”.

While I believe you have manifestly demonstrated a propensity to erroneously assign opinions and motivations to others, as well as repeatedly invoke any number of logical fallacies, I do not presume to assume your behavior falls within a DSM stipulated disorder.

I would encourage you to consider current events and their implications in an historical context. It is not an unfounded conspiracy theory to state the Nazis, communists and other tyrants - including currently within our own nation - have abused declarations of mental impairment to detain those in opposition to their dictates; often sending the “impaired” for “quarantine” in hastily constructed camps.

Though I am not saying that is Governor Lee’s intent, I cannot totally dismiss as “invalid” the concerns of those who see historical parallels, for to do so is to be ignorant of both history and the innate tendency of those with power to abuse said power unless otherwise constrained.

No, truth is objective. It isn’t subjective. Either the EO authorizes the “rounding up of people and exterminating them in camps” (as at least one has implied in this thread) or it does not.

It can’t be “well Nazis and Marxists did terrible things with mental health laws in the past, so that means this EO does too.”

That isn’t truth. You are flailing at a hypothetical based on an assumption and conspiracy theory.

The truth is that nothing in the law changed other than a suspension of the in person exam requirement.

Maybe you deem the in-person exam requirement an absolute prerequisite. Ok. That’s fine. Have that debate. However, that’s not really what you are angry at.

You are also creating a strawman. No one ever said that anyone who held any position that I think is invalid is “crazy.”

I said “Qtardism” is “crazy.” It’s protected “crazy” that wouldn’t rise to the level of authorizing a detention under the law, it’s still “crazy.”

There is no irony there, because “crazy” has more than one meaning.

It would be ironic if I called for Qtards to be placed into camps, but I haven’t done so.

The only thing I’m pointing out is that when people start pulling out the wild conspiracy theories without taking the slightest bit of time or putting in the slightest bit of effort to see what the law actually says, do incredible damage to their own cause.
