    In these examples you used “the devil” as a placeholder for explainable phenomena with varying causes, none of them being unfalsifiable. Now consider the following sentence:

    “The wage gap is causes by the patriarchy” – Surely there are no complex causes being substituted by a nebulous concept here, is it?

      the concept is only “nebulous” to people who are talking out of their asses, when they haven’t even bothered to look past the word definition and strawman memes about the patriarchy

      man, please, stop making yourself look like a fool, go read about it, it’s really not that hard
