What would be gained by creating a safe space for a beliggerent, obtuse, dickhead like you?
What is gained by treating your behavior and arguments with the ridicule they deserve?
You should not engage in a discussion in order to convince someone to change their mind, but if you do so, and you do it in a public forum, then you ought to understand the mind you're changing is very rarely that of the person youre interacting with, but that of onlookers.
Finally, not everything is about some robotic desire to advance an ideological cause. Its pretty reasonable for people to react negatively, when you behave negatively. You behave like a smug prick, despite you being obviously uneducated on the subject you desire to speak, so naturally people treat you like a smug prick opening their mouth to talk when they ought to shut up and listen.
I'm more and more assured why .ml is such a hated instance by the way you all seem to talk. Wishing suicide on people is totally fine if they disagreed with your stance.
Cool that the disagreeing part is supporting US imperialism, nazis should die, is not that difficult to grasp
I understand why you think all members of the US military should be killed. I don't understand why saying "they shouldn't and here's why i feel that way" requires such a venom tipped response. Especially when the second rule of the instance is "Be respectful, especially when disagreeing. Everyone should feel welcome here."
Because this is not the first rodeo.
Because of the way you say it and the way you engage with others. You keep trying to play this smol bean act, but we can all see how much of an ass you've been throughout this thread.
How so?
This is not the first comment explaining how, which is a neat example of it in itself
We want fascists to follow their leader, yes.
Oh hey yet another instance of making up something I didnt say! Maybe this thing you do where you read what you'd like people to have written instead of what they actually wrote, is part of the many problems you have.
Then leave
"Be respectful, especially when disagreeing. Everyone should feel welcome here."
Yes, and you have been disrespectful from the start and you're making the space worse and less welcoming, which is why we are mean to you.
Point to a disrespectful or aggressive comment from me.
All of them
Literally none of them. Gimme a quote where I'm aggressive, disrespectful or insult anyone.
Why would I bother? We both know how you act, so why would I waste time doing anything for you?
See, I haven't, you're just upset I'm pointing out your shitty behavior.
Act in bad faith and people are going to be rude to you: this isn't Reddit
Haven't acted in bad faith once here. I even got some good information and ordered 3 books based off another user's recommendations. A few people are acting like dicks, I pointed it out.
Ok. I can't stop you from lying
Bad faith is a form of disrespectful
Where and when was I acting in bad faith?
Uhuh. Deliberately playing dumb isn't actually a compelling argument
Neither is saying a thing with zero evidence.
Ok, then provide evidence
"I hear ya. I appreciate the conversation bud.
Books I've read about this subject are
The Gulag Archipelago, Bloodlands, Mao's Great Famin, The Great Terror, Wild Swans and Cambodia Year Zero.
Probably a couple others I'm not thinking if at the moment. All are very anti everything you're saying. Don't worry I've read plenty of anti imperialist/western books too. I am absolutely open to some recommendations that show more of you side of thinking/history though. I can buy it if available online or I do have a really good local library."
What point do you think you're making?
This isn't bad faith. I am trying to get information and give this side of the aisle a shot.
Ok, present your evidence
.......... thats the prior comment.... if I'm the one acting inappropriately why have none of my comments been removed and many of yours have?
Where's your evidence of that?
What is your point?
You're the one acting inappropriately, not me.
Present your evidence for that
Ok, but what exactly are you trying to argue?
You're the toxic bad faith actor, not me. I'll do this 1000 more times.
Where's your evidence of those claims?
1 of 1000. You guys love looking at mod logs, how do mine look compared to yours?
Ok, how about the evidence for the rest of your claims?
So my evidence you are a toxic bad faith actor is sufficient?
Which evidence?
Ill take that as a yes, thanks babe.
So you have no evidence
Then stop whining
Just trying to see what standard is held in this instance, not it's own rules clearly.
K. Now leave
