Can you logically refute the arguments made in this political video?

[loveslongnails]

I think sullydawg. com is one of the best sites on the entire internet. When you see these concepts explained visually with the cups and pyramids, it's difficult to NOT understand them. Somehow, magats manage that and still hold fast to the lies they drink in every day.

AI changed the question title, but this will work.

so, this is about math and perception... right?

well, before I even clicked on the video, I did figure what was going to be about, and then yes... I could easily point out at least four different things that were left out and ignored just to push this perception of the "look at how many cups"

[loveslongnails]

No, it's not about "perception", it's about facts in numbers. The cups represent dollars, not whatever you care to perceive them as. It's a visual representation of some shocking numbers. If you're going to dispute Trump's corruption in office, or the amounts, do not bother unless YOU can produce FACTS to the contrary. No one is interested in your "opinion" of the optics here, except possibly yourself.

Even if he's off by 50%, it's still shockingly corrupt.

The real point is about WEALTH OBTAINED by the individual President compared to all other Presidents. If you name anything of factual relevance that's been ignored regarding Trump's corrupt, massive accumulation of personal wealth since becoming President as of the election day, let's see it.

[NathanDavis]

the question was never whether or not I believe Trump is a corrupt person, he's just a corrupted person, that's not open to discussion, he just is...

your question was about logical arguments against the video

and on that yes, that video has a lot of stupidity and misleading representations or "visuals" as you call them and VISUALS ARE perspective... and that's only logical

if you want to get into a political argument on Trump, we can't do that... because I also know Trump is corrupt, period

but if you want to talk about logic and numbers, then yes... it's very easy to refute such a stupid video, with just one word

nominal... periodt

[loveslongnails]

LOL nominal? Oh yeah, it's all refuted now LMAO

1a : existing or being something in name or form only
b : of, being, or relating to a designated or theoretical size that may vary from the actual :
c: : trifling, insignificant

Logical argument against WHAT? LOL There's nothing misleading about it, nor have you presented anything to show that it is, other than to call it "stupid" and offer a word that has nothing to do with it.

You can just put the period right here and not reply. You have no point to make. Ta-ta.

[NathanDavis]

see... you just proved my point

I said one word, and you intentionally went to a dictionary, and ignore the true meaning in context and concept... on purpose

and that's just the first word, I have at least three to five more that would "refute" this stupid, simplistic take than only the truly ignorant and the wilful ignorant people rather ignore

you just want to argue political shit... lol

[loveslongnails]

No I don''t. And you haven't provided ANY of those words, because you have no solid argument. This is a waste of my time. The only willful ignorance here is your own.

What REALLY MATTERS here, is it's a simplified visual representative that accurately displays the numbers involved. You have not proven otherwise, nor given us the magic of all your secret words.
So, I'm done with you on this post.

[NathanDavis]

okay... I'll do the work for you, since you're so obfuscated, lazy, or both... but I am telling you

you're still going to deny it and you will continue to choose the misleading perception

but it's very simple... nominal value

are 10 million dollars, and 10 million pesos, of the same value? yes, but no...

nominal value, sure... both are 10 million of moneys, but are they worth the same? hell no

everyone knows, or should know that the trade between pesos and dollars is 20 to 1, therefore... 10 million dollars are worth 20 times more than 10 million pesos, and so... the next point is

are 10 million dollars in 2020... the same as 10 million dollars in 1920, no, they are not worth the same at all... they might be the same number, yes, but only in name... not on their worth, and certainly not the same as to represent "wealth"

the most clear example of this is... back in 1920, a person with 10 million dollars could buy as many as 3,000 houses of average size back then... but, back in 1960 "the same" 10 million dollars could only get you around 1000 houses, that's just a third

in 1980, if you had 10 million dollars around and to spare, you could get around 100 houses !!!

but not in 2020... because with 10 million dollars in 2020, if lucky, you would be able to get maybe around 30 houses, average size

so, this is just one word... nominal, which is related to another tricky word... inflation

so yes, these cups are mere "perception" and it is a very misleading video, but, will you change your mind about this? no you won't... because your only intention is to argue about political drama and politics is never about wrong or right... it is just about "US VS THEM" and that's just STUPID
