- Former President Donald Trump said that Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s proposal to remove fluoride from the U.S. water systems “sounds okay” to him.
- Kennedy, who is poised to play a health policy role in a potential Trump administration, recently wrote, “The Trump White House will advise all U.S. water systems to remove fluoride from public water.”
- According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, “the safety and benefits of fluoride are well documented and have been reviewed comprehensively by several scientific and public health organizations.”
Dude. I told you I had no source for that. The training at your troll farm sucks; get a better job.
That’s exactly my fucking point.
Umm, no - that was my point. Your reply had no point, other than complaining that I freely admitted to not finding a source. A point implies furthering the discussion. So, you got a point?
My only point is to let you know that you’re being disingenuous. You made a claim without evidence and then literally said “You have anything says that ingesting or actually helps?” to the person who rebutted you.

You already posted that link, and I already told you it doesn’t support your argument. I’m not interested in your view at all, I am just here to point out your double standard. Happy to keep doing so.

As you well know, I’m specifically calling out your comment about it first being used to test if it made the working class more docile. You’re too proud and stubborn to admit you’re wrong. Or you’re just a total idiot. I’m starting to think it’s probably the latter 😂
This is funnily something actually taught at (at least some) Russian troll farms. Confuse the conversations and revert to thin, barely applicable accusations of logical fallacies or other kinds of “rules” of supposedly civil discussion. But this certain sense of “civil discussion” where some misguided sense of self-perceived (and sadly, almost always unfounded) logical superiority prompts one to be as confusing as this comment here, claiming to have a point, which the other supposedly does not, while elevating the fact that they themselves already claimed not to have found a source for their outlandish and confusing prior claim, to be some sort of bonus point to “win” the argument with. All this, without a hint of self-consciousness or admittance that their very original comment was equally or more pointless, if this is how points would be decided according to their view. And the importance put in virtual brownie points that prompts them to go to the trouble of amending their initial, ill-received comment to with an edit explicitly stating that they laugh at the downvoters, while being obviously hurt and unnecessarily heavily affected by it…
It’s so weirdly confusing and recognizable that this must be a cultural thing. A long time ago I knew some academics/students from Russia, and they all seemed similarly interested in some logical “winning” even in just normal discussions, in this certain way that is just uncanny. Self-importance and the persistence with misguided logical superiority despite having clearly themselves made an oopsie in the first place, seems to be something of a cultural difference in this specific flavor.
Of course this is done everywhere, the whole self-importance and all (as demonstrated by yours truly!), but not in this one specific uncanny way.
