This is how to beat Fox News at their own game: Fox News uses the flawed logic, that among a number of immigrants some could be pedophile rapists, so therefore supporting immigration is supporting pedophilia. House candidate Oliver Larkin: Oh, you want to talk about pedophilia… well let's go!

@randahl@mastodon.social This "logic" is disturbingly widespread. Here in the UK, we as anti-racist campaigners get called "paedos" all the time at counter-actions against far-right gatherings, and it's the same reasoning: migrants are child abusers, so those who fight for their rights must also support child abuse. Their latest is chant (to the tune of She'll Be Coming 'Round the Mountain) is, 🎶"you should never leave a lefty with your kids."🎶 Absurd, given many of their own criminal histories!

@randahl@mastodon.social That a classic false syllogism. We had the same in France with far right politician Eric Zemmour saying that most of inmates are muslim and african, so every islam and people with african origin are a security problem. You can flip the false argument against him. Every person involved in political and financial corruption is wearing a suit and a tie. So anyone dressed like that is a thief and a danger to democracy.

@randahl@mastodon.social The fuck? That's not even close to correct, and I feel like none of them have the right to talk about that, because we literally have pedos running the government.
