rhetorical apology

An apology that does not require an "it's ok" response. Usually the person who is being apologized to should actually be doing the apologizing. Rhetorical apologies are often stated with large amounts of unmistakable sarcasm.

Incorrect response...

Guy: Oh come on girl! What's wrong with having a little fun?
Girl: Um do I look like the kind of person who's ok with just having "a little fun?" I'm not a slut. Sorry.
Guy: That's ok.
Girl: That was a rhetorical apology you doucher.

Correct response...

Guy: Oh come on girl! What's wrong with having a little fun?
Girl: Um do I look like the kind of person who's ok with just having "a little fun?" I'm not a slut. Sorry.
Guy: Oh no no! I'm sorry! I was completely out of line.

Rhetoric

The means by which you articulate your argument. Rhetoric can be applied to anything that you wanna argue about.

Unfortunately, this means that rhetoric can be applied to an argument that: A) you do not agree with, B) is fighting for the wrong cause, or C) is just plain wrong. If such is the case, then you might in fact loathe the argument even more. I know I would.

Rhetoric is to a factual argument as icing is to cake.

Applying rhetoric to a weak or misguided argument is like polishing a turd and then plating it with gold.

Rhetorical Devices

The nuts and bolts of speech and writing; the parts that make a communication work. Separately, each part of is meaningless, but once put together they create a powerful effect on the listener/reader.

Rhetorical devices can function at all levels: words, sentences, paragraphs, and to infinity and beyond.

Biased Lawyer Veils The Justification Of His Corrupt Actions In My Own Rhetoric To Detract From The Fact

And by 'veils in my own rhetoric' I mean 'Weaponizing schizophrenia by talking about the things I do while they aren't around in a way that could be easily misconstrued as delusions of reference' or 'Using their children as a cudgel' which is how you know he is lying to detract from the fact they buried the 'Weaponized schizophrenia' I was talking about and are now trying to shield themselves from liability for child murders that may have occurred.

Hym "Breaking! Biased Lawyer Veils The Justification Of His Corrupt Actions In My Own Rhetoric To Detract From The Fact That YouTube Influencers Are DELIBERATELY Trying To Make It Look Like Someone Has A Mental Illness They Don't Actually Have To Make A Point About Women Or Slurs Or Something! Or maybe they AREN'T trying to make a point! Maybe they are just doing it so they can tell themselves that what they are doing to me isn't that bad and that it isn't their fault that a bunch of children got murdered but, rather, they can scapegoat me for doing nothing more than describe my own situation (in great detail) and draw attention to it in the only way I could thing to do so."
