The title is click bait. A few sections of overlap aren't enough to make them the same, even if those sections are literally identical.

Of course it's not exactly the same. It's same in principal and effect with some differences. I dont know if the differences are enough to make a difference or not.

The problem is that you're always negative, so any time that something doesn't exactly go according to plan you can claim "I told you so".

Never said that you said "I told you so" before. And by "negative" I meant in terms of opposition vs. Trump, his policies, and his administration, not in terms of being pessimistic about life overall.

No, TISA existed when TPP existed, it's the last of the bad trade bills.

I didn't say anything about Trump here. I also think certain good things come indirectly from the administration.

I'm not trying to get anyone to question their sanity, I'm just trying to get him to realize the error of his ways. When your parents scolded you did you always just assume that they were calling your sanity into question?

You throw that argument out quite a lot, but you don't have the foggiest idea of what it means or when it applies.

so your a parent now?

showing error of his ways is not an argument, you like implying the only sane people are the trump supporters so i will show you all how the psychological process behind anti-trump people

even you have to ask at times if your parents are right with their disciplinary actions especially if its repeated/excessive already

if you want to correct anti-Trump people then argue about the policies of Trump and not argue about the thinking process of your opponent

TPP is a trade deal that will give businesses especially big corporations more power than the government

the most worrying things about TPP on top of my head
- patents will be longer especially for medicine so cheaper generic medicines will be longer to obtain
- businesses like hollywood can sue you with piracy in the court of USA even if you live in another country with different laws, heck any business can sue any government that is under TPP (so ye an example of businesses having more power than the government)

trade deals are great no doubt but TPP trade deal is anti-consumer

So your point is that one side is not exclusively wrong? But you of course don't believe that it would be wrong for one side to call out when the other side is indeed wrong, do you?

I like correcting people that are being overly stupid. Immahnoob is clearly pro-Trump but sometimes the things he says throw logic out the window, and so I get on him too.

In the case here I merely responded to something that did not provide any context for argument, and was merely an "I told you so", that wasn't aimed at anyone specific and didn't provide any details of the referenced discussion that supposedly took place.

It doesn't really seem like I could have gotten off the hook with you if I posted anything other than "You were right traed, you know better", as there isn't anything that could clearly be stated as the topic for argument. Is it that he was right? Is it the proposed trade deal? Is it the old trade deal? Is it the failing of the people who let the proposed trade deal come to light? I think most intelligent people could figure out what the real answer is here, but you can claim anything as nothing concrete is given.

you are not really correcting people if you are only showing the error of their ways
correcting others the proper way is by doing constructive criticism
from your recent replies you just enjoy destroying/shaming/blaming others through arguments, ye i do that sometimes and same with others but you do it so frequently

and why did you mention trump in this thread anyway?

Having the opportunity to adjust your own thinking is usually a much more effective method of changing than for someone else to tell you how to change. Not only that, but it's very unlikely that someone will change just because someone told them to. That command has to come from someone that person respects, or else it just breeds defiance. At least with the claim that they are wrong they can at least internally accept the possibility of that being the case, and then reflect on it.

There's a reason "reflect on your actions" has always been a popular phrase when scolding someone who is wrong, with or without punishment.

Your claim that my criticism wasn't constructive is your own baseless opinion.

I have no intention of shaming anyone who is not trying to deceive people. You often intentionally deceive people, and so shaming you is the best possible deterrent. Traed doesn't deceive that often and so my objective here was not to shame him. As for the blame game, I can't recall blaming anyone for anything that they didn't do, I really feel you just pulled that one out of nowhere, a bit like the gaslighting claim that you're no longer making. As for destroying, the only thing I intend to destroy are misconceptions and preconceptions. If a persons ego should be in the way then so be it. Your ego has nothing to do with the truth, and the truth is essential in political discussion.

As for frequency, I haven't been posting at all here much since about December, picking back up only a little bit and very recently, so this also feels entirely baseless. My posting frequency here has been rather small, let alone what percentage of those posts even consists of arguments.

what makes you think im deceiving people? i do not remember doing that

sure reflecting on your own actions is so wise and all but what are you are doing is just either gaslighting or destructive criticism that will not make the person reflect on his/her ways at all

what i mean by frequency and blaming is whenever you argue here on CE about Trump matters, rather than you defend the policies of Trump you more tend to attack/blame your opponent's thought process in general and not just with Trump

dude defend Trump's policies with valid arguments and not with your gaslighting tactics or even ad hominem that is all im saying to you here

That is your opinion, and I disagree with it. And I would again like to point out that you don't seem to have any idea what gaslighting actually entails.

How can I possibly blame someone without actually detailing what they were responsible for? Often times a persons assessment of something like a policy is fully inclusive of all factual information, but merely has extraneous misconceptions tacked on. When something like that is presented, a defense of the policy would merely be stating what it is, which they've already outlined and understand, and then further the defense would discredit those extraneous details that don't realistically apply. Under your watch, such a defense would be called an attack.

I don't think you understand when ad hominem applies either.

Referring to something as a Muslim ban, even when you know it's not, without revealing that your name for it is a generalization and not strictly to the truth is in itself deception. You make a habit of employing these deceptive tactics, and it would be a shame if anyone fell for your traps.

And now you're flat out lying (or you're just disgustingly misinformed). The ban doesn't single out muslims at all. It's a general ban from specific countries that pose a threat. Whether they claim they're Christian, Muslim, or of no religion, they'll still be barred from entering the country.

The ban wouldn't make sense otherwise, when people can decide at the drop of a hat whether they're Muslim or Christian.
