I am getting pretty sweary these days, getting really tired of pseudointellectual Americans whitewashing their genocidal government. On Lemmy no less, which is supposed to be a refuge from the state propaganda outlet Reddit turned into, but no, you all had to come here and ruin this too. And shout out to the mods who erase key messages from those discussions, because having an authentic, emotionally charged, organic discussion about America's responsibility for genocide is apparently too much for people to handle.
Educated people can make their own judgment without you coloring in their reality for them, thanks.
Right, however, you’d have to be able to appeal to educated people first. And I don’t think you’re capable of it to be honest. Don’t get me wrong, cosplaying the “ackshually” meme would have been a great idea if it weren’t for the fact that people generally don’t like that guy very much.
But you do you.
Oh, and a bit of advice- I’d be careful with hurling that… “pseudointellectual” accusation at other people- especially in a comment thread where your modlog was made easily accessible. Glass houses being what they are.
(Oh, and, it’s pseudo-intellectual by the way, so- mind your hyphens)
Anywho, I think I made my point. There’s no real need to continue this.
What point? A personal attack and a nitpick about hyphenation? Is that the substance of your argument in defense of people who voted for mass murderers?
This is exactly what we're talking about when we say Democrats are obsessed with "respectability politics" and don't give a fuck about morality. What the fuck is the point of your message? All you're doing is asserting superiority. You're not saying anything. Just don't even reply, be silent.
I’m going to need a napkin for all that irony you’re dripping.
Have a good evening for yourself.
I wish this site had a working block feature like reddit. Some of these people just need to be cut out of responding. "Hide their messages endlessly taunting you and dancing around the point even after you've left" is not the same.
Yeah. I get ya. Most people get around that by simply not talking down and respecting others. And right now, it looks like for the most part, you’re getting what you give- only unlike you, I’m not derogatorily admonishing you to feel superior. I’m doing it to hold up a mirror.
Again, your modlog is public.
So maybe you can stop with the arrogant life-lessons, opinions-stated-as-facts, and pseudo-intellectual lectures and learn to have a bit more respect for the people you speak directly to.
Be humbled. Then be better.
This is exactly why I don't respect you - you're talking about everything but the GENOCIDE.
Stop responding to me. You're not "humbling" me, I'm disgusted by you. Your complete moral failure here is enough before you start adding on the condescension, which you then go and accuse me of in return.
I rest my case.
