Literally every sentence of your first comment was an attack on my character and made assumptions about my beliefs. The fucking audacity.

You mean the one where you did nothing but complain about what people are doing, saying it's not enough, while offering 0 alternatives? Yeah you sound like a complainer that wants someone else to solve their problem. You didn't seem interested in putting any effort into trying to solve the problem, just attacking others for the way they are trying.

I didn't attack you character, I called it out for what it was.

You just want to bitch and attack people because you don't think they're doing enough. You don't think people will save you, then wtf are you doing huh? You demand that people act and others won't save you, what are you doing aside from waiting to be saved? Bitching at other others for not fighting the way you think they should?

Then I called out that that is a defeatist mindset and your response was that you know the future and are just trying to tell people what will and won't work, because you're the one who knows the truth.

Yeah I called out your character, you presented yourself as a negative defeatist who thinks they know the future. You complain how other people fight as not being the right way while doing nothing yourself. All based on anger and ego. Ego you still hold onto.

I dont even see a need to respond to this schizo post in detail.

Well that one way to avoid all the contradictions and local fallacies.

Literally all i did was respond to someone overly optimistic with a probably very realistic prediction of what will happen. To fight a political or literal war you cant be deluding yourself into believing that someone else will save you through legal challenges.

You're whole stance is based on you thinking you know the future. It's wild that you can't see that.

"Probably a realistic prediction" lol, it might be a realistic guess of the future, maybe. Jfc man, if that's good enough reason for you to roll over, so be it. I guess you can just keep waiting for someone to save you while you bitch online.

To fight a political or literal war you cant be deluding yourself into believing that someone else will save you through legal challenges.

I never said this. You keep bringing this up, I didn't say you could. You're making up a problem and arguing about it.

I dont even see a need to respond to this schizo post in detail.
