the remaining differences are mostly about aesthetics and not about the use of violence to maintain hegemony

    Could you clarify why it's not good reasoning?

    • A = u.s. abducts leader
    • B = leader is a problem for the u.s.
    • C = leader is a boon to the people
    • D = leader is (likely) legitimately elected

    Argument:

    • If A then B
    • If B then C
    • If C then D
    • A
    • Therefore D

    We just need "If C then D" to chain A to D since the comment up top didn't mention it . Oh, I think I see a problem here. In the us with leaders we constantly have "D and not C," and even worse than the not C's are the nazis. Ok, I'll stop.

    Yes that makes sense. The premises are too shaky for the argument to be sound despite the valid structure (which the commenter did not use and I pulled out of my ass).

    I was mainly writing it out as an exercise to myself but left it because it kinda worked as a joke lol

    I do very much appreciate an earnest answer.
