Don't let other people think for you

[justatest90]

In a thread about news, some deflection and whataboutism nonsense showed up. But it only makes sense based on the tweet language, not the video language. Don't let other people do your thinking for you.

@blablarg18 said in How do you get your news? A potentially useful resource:

@justatest90-0 But does it avoid White-owned brands? Michelle Obama says to.

Your rhetorical tricks are getting sad, which is a bummer. I asked "where do you get your news?" Instead of answering with news sources I can add to my feed, you send a post about "brands".

Worse, the video doesn't say what the title says (someone is letting other people do his thinking for him ).

If I hear of someone whose fashion that I like and I know that they're a person of color, I try to make it a point. But the clothes have to be available. [cut in posted video] You know, I think we can all do some more to think about that balance in our wardrobes. What does our closet look like, and whose in it? Who are we supporting in it, you know? And I think if you have the money to buy Chanel, then you have the money to buy everybody. So let us be mindful, would be my advice.

1. She's talking about fashion she likes. Don't like the fashion made by people of color, don't buy it
2. She's talking to people who can "buy Chanel" (so obviously not telling everyone)
3. She doesn't say "avoid White-owned brands," she says "be mindful".

This is the most banal comment from Michelle Obama ever. Do better. Think for yourself.
