  • I wonder if there's a name for this fallacy...

    As if everyone just looking at literally any large investment and saying "it's a bubble!" is doing anything other than being a broken clock right twice a day.

    Suggesting that something isn't true simply because a lot of people are saying it's true (with or without evidence, doesn't really matter). "I keep reading about this being a bubble, so that means it can't be true"

    It's like the inverse (converse? I forget. It's been years since I took a logic course) of an appeal to the masses.

    Regardless, it's fallacious reasoning.

  • Yeah I remember when Obama and Biden killed all of our soft power worldwide for no real reason.

    I remember when they tore up the existing Iran agreement and invaded them in an attempt to get a worse agreement.

    I also remember now that foreign policy is the only thing we're allowed to compare, so really good point!

  • And really, we're just making them actually pay for some of the externalities they're getting a free ride on.

    But it wouldn't be making them pay for that because they would pass that cost onto the consumer as they always do.

    And yeah, if they have to, they switch. To a more expensive material. And guess who pays for that?
