Get the Obama Rain Speechmug. A lot of sophisticated sounding words covering a flawed, irrational framework.
a particular variety of "begging the question" in which the very things the author criticizes, he also uses to support his own position.
Derived from Social Psychologist/Philosopher John Haidt's attacking arguments against Sam Harris, over Harris' $10,000 challenge for someone to provide a written argument compelling enough to change Harris' mind re: the central premise in the book, "The Moral Landscape."

Haidt writes early on:
" Nobody has yet found a way to “debias” people—to train people to look for evidence on the other side—once emotions or self-interest are activated."

"Saying human reason is a failure in battling emotions... except when it isn't... is pure Haidt-speech."
Yet later, provides a direct counter example:
"This is why science works so well. Scientists suffer from the confirmation bias like everybody else, but the genius of science as an institution is that it incentivizes scientists to disconfirm each others’ ideas, and it creates a community within which a reasoned consensus eventually emerges."

Get the Keita’s Speechmug. That is not what freedom of speech means and you're perfectly fine with people being condemned and criticized.
Hym "Nooo Russell. That ain't what freedom of speech means. You know that. You know what it means. It means you can say whatever you want. You are free to speak. Freedom. You're either free or you're not. In the same way that you're either a crippled assburger with a visibily defunct mind or you're not. Getting molested by Amber doesn't make you a real person Elon. See? You can just say whatever. Your tainted and neglected offspring will never love you. Unlike most men I'm willing to fuck trans girls so how old is your he/she son? Did Joe's daughters turn 18 yet and do they want to make an easy 200 million? I've been building up fat so my bitch-tits are extra jiggly right now."

Get the Freedom of speechmug. Something that was never really respected by any government, ever.
We Americans takes it for granted, unaware of that it has been trampled on, and will continue to be trampled on, if we don’t keep a closer eye on our big brother
Unfortunately it is human nature to attempt to gag the speech of someone when their views are not in your best interest. This is why we have laws, but the government still shits on it when they feel like, just look at what happened during ‘Nam war…
