One of the few libertarians I knew in high-school was a fan of argumentation ethics, and used it "prove" global warming is a hoax, and I'm not being uncharitable, he wasn't saying the IPCC or Nordhaus were misleading people and such or that the Early Anthropocene Hypothesis is right, he was literally saying that global temperatures weren't rising and he knew this to be true basically a priori.
"For me to talk, I don’t have to think I have rights, and I certainly don’t need to think anyone else has like. All I have to believe, to avoid hypocrisy, is that my talking is worthwhile."
You don't even have to believe that. After all, a teleological nihilist and fatalist would say that nothing is worthwhile, and her talking now could no more be "hypocritical" than her having brown eyes now.
Regarding the footnote: If anything you were *too nice* to Fabian in your debate. this guy deserves to be ridiculed

I love the title so much
I can see where they were coming from with their first point—right/wrong doesn’t precede human consciousness. But boy, do they lose me after that.
So you're saying that the secret to defeating an argumentation ethicist is to put them in a room with communists?
