Who in the hell spends their time making these complex graphic designs for a such idiotic choice of beliefs? Sure, Assfly being a electrician is understandable as they are sorta weird (See: Electric Universe) in the head. But this? 

Wow, such wasted opportunity. Much sarcastic applause. Many whats.

Also, my thousandth post had a Doge reference. I should most likely undergo forum penance or something.

I've read that it's sometimes easier for smart people to convince themselves into holding stupid beliefs.

And harder to convince them that they're wrong.

don't they know that two wrongs don't make a right?

I was more focused on the "If you don't like CIA TORTURE then you must want the TERRORISTS to win" aspect.
Terrorists can huck kittens into volcanoes and it still doesn't make torture legal or productive.

"They kill people. We just nearly drown people, stuff them in small wooden boxes, keep them from sleeping for a week, andfeed them through their assholes. We're not doing anything bad"

They would have made their (abhorrent) point better if they said "... We keep them awake and pour water on their heads". It's like they're not even trying to disguise how much they'd like to be supervillains.

Indeed.  And the language these people use makes them sound like Bond villains or something.

I'm not sure what to call this fallacy. Conservation of evil, maybe? If the people on one side do a lot of evil, there must be none left for the other?

Or straightforward black and white thinking: the other guy is clearly evil, and America is against them, ergo America is good?

Quote from: Jordan Duram
It doesn't concern you, Sister, that kind of absolutist view of the universe? Right and wrong determined solely by a single all-knowing, all powerful being whose judgment cannot be questioned and in whose name the most horrendous acts can be sanctioned without appeal?

Quote from: Supreme Court of Canada
Being required by someone else’s religious beliefs to behave contrary to one’s sexual identity is degrading and disrespectful.

Its the second one, Sigma. They see the CIA as like Clint Eastwood in a bad spaghetti western. Sure, he's doing the exact same things as the bad guys. But he's doing it to protect the townsfolk who hired him. So because he's on the side of angels, he must be one too.
