I hate that they always conflate logic, which is just truth preserving, with capital-T truths. Like yes, if you can control the definitions of all these words, and pretend the empirical input is on your side, then sure, you can come up with a consistent set of statements that support your beliefs. Congrats.
"I've found something logically consistent, this supersedes all other logic!". It doesn't really have to be said that these people are always without exception incredible narcissists. I wish this shit was taught in schools. Things have to be logical as a fucking minimum standard. Being able to appraise that logic with critical thinking and analysis is the key.
