MANDATE REGULATIONS - SECTION 4: THE UNDISPUTED RIGHT TO BE ARGUMENTATIVE

As per Mandate Directive 4.1, subsection A, all citizens are required to be argumentative at least once a day. Failure to comply will result in mandatory reeducation.

Subsection A: The Art of Being Right

When engaging in disputes, citizens are expected to:

• Use at least three (3) different fallacies in every argument
• Quote at least one (1) irrelevant statistic
• Make at least two (2) personal attacks on their opponent

For example:

You: "I'm telling you, the sky is indeed falling, and you're just not seeing the signs. Like, have you seen the number of squirrels we're seeing lately? It's a sign of the apocalypse, I'm sure of it!"

Subsection B: The Right to Be Wrong

As a corollary to subsection A, citizens are also entitled to be wrong at least once a day. Failure to do so may result in mandatory reeducation.

For example:

John: "I'm positive that the best pizza topping is anchovies." Jane: "No way, that's absurd, it's clearly pineapple." John: "No, no, I'm telling you, I've done the research, it's a proven fact."
