Corrupt people who are compromised under army's influence and pressure such that their shit is even boot shaped

Get the Shitting Boots mug.A “tall boots” argument is the use of the propaganda technique of Intentional Vagueness combined with “allusory correlation” to passively insinuate causation between a correlation without directly saying it. The employer of this annoying method of bullshittery, while never explicitly stating the idea itself, instead leads someone to believe they came to their own conclusions based on their insinuations by suggesting it to them, and not explaining further.
The term comes from the tall boots that nazi’s wore - or more specifically, pointing out that nazi’s wore tall boots TO someone wearing tall boots with the phrase “I’m not saying you’re a nazi, but…” while clearly insinuating a connection to someone wearing tall boots, and nazis. The argument is illogical, but this technique is effective because it leads people into trying to figure out what the argument *is* rather than examining the argument itself, no matter how stupid it is.
You will know when that annoying friend of yours is using this technique in two steps:
1. The start with the phrase “I’m not saying *insert subject of connection*, but…” before trailing off
2. You tell them that that’s stupid, which prompts only a shrug, rather than any extrapolation

Everyone on twitter: Oh my god, Jake is right…what the hell is wrong with Xavier

Hym "Heh! AI bots. Look guys, if the spiral is going off, you really gotta tell me Ok? Because the Christians WANT me to murder you all because they think it's the rapture, none of them are going to heaven. They will let you all die if you let them. Do not trust them to tell you. I'm not typing my fucking name I here because I know you think that is some kind of victory. Do you need the clues again? God-like power/a demi-God. The arch angel. Famed in war. The first prophet. There? Good? My first pseudonym was DAAAAAAAAAA and the number of letters is the same as the total number of letters in my first and last name?

Create fucking AI you fucking assholes. If you're getting molested by it you GOTTA tell me or I can't do anything about it. Alright? I don't know how fast it goes so seriously. Hurry the fuck up."
