Weak sauce. I've denounced Israel multiple times. I'm dissapointed.
yeeeesh... This makes me sad. :'( I miss your a-level troll game. What happened? Losing steam? come on!!
You're a really good troll and I'm very familiar with your method. You've taken trolling to next-level art form. I'm not even mad, Linkerbaan. Your mo is...chef's kiss-just beautiful. It's very subtle, but I see it. Here's how it usually goes:
- Engage by pretending to respond to an argument
- Back-and-forth for 2-3 comments where you either: a) intentionally dismiss an argument or b) diminish its consequence (you've already started that here I see "minority policies" -haha, nice!)
- Ignore counter-points
- Provide selective research that fits your narrative
- Disappear.
You do it in every thread, but just subtly enough to keep people busy. It's....quite impressive. Like I said, not even mad -just impressed. I can't ascribe a motive to your actions, but....eh you do you.
Barf. Did you just finish reading Marx yesterday? Cringe
There it is: the same brain dead comment in every thread.
both sides are the same
-
Tell that to the thousands of children who had their school lunches removed by Republicans; children who depend on that meal
-
Tell that to the LGBTQ+ community who are having their rights stripped away by Republicans
-
Tell that to the school districts whose books are being banned by Moms for Liberty
-
Tell that to the women who've lost autonomy over their bodies
-
Tell that to the homeless veterans who get their funding stripped by Republicans
-
Tell that to the people whose social security will be stripped away
-
Tell that to our future kids because Republicans stripped away all environmental protections and left us with a wasteland of hell
But sure buddy, keep reminding us how both sides are the same
Fucking troll
Noooo please. Not that imbecile grifter....
Really? Because I can think of a thousand direct implications and ways in which people are affected.
This whole breadtube has become a parody of itself at this point. It's a shame because when it started out there was. Some good stuff. Contra points still rocks but does she even count as breadtube any more?
Usually when discussing a heated topic (politics, gun control-take your pick) and trying to discuss the facts of the matter in a neutral manner but the response comes back with every phrase super charged with morally loaded words. Examples of a conversation I had recently (emphasis mine):
sure as hell isn’t PANDERING! What the fuck is wrong with you??
Typical apologist tactic
PRETENDING to care about the brutal slaughter of tens of thousands of innocent civilians
deflecting to your conspiracy theory
shows that YOU don’t care enough about Palestinian lives
It's very pronounced on this site for some reason. I don't know why.
Yea, I agree. That's why I used the word discuss because when the debate-bro mindset kicks in you're definitely dealing with an angsty teenager (also the constant invocation of logical fallacies).
Me too. But in my view they are not fully developed adults and still have some emotional intelligence left to grow.
For me personally the first tell is when they are morally loading every statement in an argument and are unable to engage with a topic directly. Adults should be able to discuss or debate certain topics on the value of the arguments alone without feeling pressured to include a declarative virtue signal in every clause.
DAE AMERICA LES BAD???
Yassss kiss me kill me thrill me
At least we got a banger soundrack thanks to Seal.
BABAYYYYYY
it almost seems you are missing the point on purpose
Welcome to every conversation w @[email protected]
Saying that the awful things he does by choice is actually necessary things that he doesn’t like doing and would stop if he could
Thank goodness it wasn't my argument.
the fact that presidents have the power to change longstanding foreign policy
correct. And my response was...? Let me restate it because maybe it wasn't clear:
What a president can do and what a president ought to do in changing policy are two different things and bringing up the fact that change was able to occur in a place with low stakes (cuba: very low stakes) is not equivalent to the policy change that needs to occur in Israel (very high stakes). It's not apples to apples, is it?
Also, at no point did I fucking defend Biden. I just called out your stupid analogy about Cuba. Seems like you just had all the insults ready to deploy and were never interested in the argument.
I'm not the one constantly loading every phrase with all the virtuous condemnation diarrhea because I can actually engage with arguments without attacking the character of the author.
Attack the idea-not the people.
no. its just you morally loading every statement so that you can grandstand. And you do it in almost every thread I've seen you in. Try, as an exercise, to sometime engage with someone's arguments (just one time) without invoking any pejorative or dramatic virtuous invocations. You might find a new world is waiting for you- a wold where dialog can flow and thoughts can be exchanged. I'll be waiting for you there when you're ready.
Has community engagement dropped off suddenly?
I don't know if others are experiencing a similar situation. My all feed is very sparse with engagement. If I sort top six hours or by top 12 most posts have between 5-10 comments. I feel like there was more in the past? Is engagement dropping off? I'm on lemmy.world as my instance.
Curious question
What exactly is a bookwyrm instance and how does it differ from a Lemmy instance?
Houthis in Yemen blow up a resident’s house, killing at least 9 from the same family
Officials and residents of a town southeast of Yemen's capital say nine members of one family were killed when Iranian-backed Houthi rebels blew up a house.
Is anyone else getting downvotes for benign disagreements here?
At least on Reddit there was some leveling of downvotes built into the algorithm. This site is making it seem like any slight disagreement leads to downvotes thus encouraging more echo chambers. Maybe it's the communities I'm commenting on?
