      implying that I don’t want to change the status quo doesn’t change whether I do.

          You’re starting to sound like the liberals that tell me to vote for Biden.

          I’m the authority on what I want. there’s no evidence that you could produce that would undercut my claim.

              this is some equivocation. it’s an informal fallacy you might want to look up.

                  it is. since you seem opposed to learning anywhere but Lemmy, I’ll help you out. equivocation is an informal fallacy where you use one word in a certain context with a particular meaning, and then you use the same word in a different context with a different meaning, and then you claim that they’re the same thing. The authority of the boot maker is different from the authority of the cop. The authority of the doctor is different from the authority of the insurance company.
