    Prove it

    You can’t prove a negative

    You aren’t claiming a negative.

    Logically, it was caused by something. You are claiming that the something that caused it was not the protests.

    The only way you can accurately make that claim is with the knowledge of what did cause it.

    So prove your claim that the thing that caused this was not the protests, but something else instead.

    If you don’t do that, you’re admitting to arguing in bad faith.

        I sad it protests did not cause his actions.

        Again, the only way you can accurately make that claim is with the knowledge of what did cause it.

        So prove your claim that the thing that caused this was not the protests, but something else instead.

        What should have been said, was

        Agreed. And what you should have said was “There’s no evidence that the protests caused his actions.” But you didn’t, you instead made a falsifiable claim, and refuse to back it up with proof. Making you a hypocrite.

        I’m done with this discussion

        Better luck next time, then.
