You know what I fucking hate?

The people who believe utopia is so obtainable that they are willing to sacrifice the rights and freedom of millions of people in their desperate attempt to deny reality. The cowards who so brashly demand that others “shoot people in the face” and “beat up enablers” while sitting comfortably online having not even done the bare minimum it would have taken to avoid this disaster to begin with.

The smug arrogance that allows them to presume to have the answers by going outside of the rules of the game and creating scenarios that they themselves don’t have the balls to follow through with.

I have zero respect for those people. Because of their cowardice and their arrogance, I lay the blame on them every bit as equally as I do MAGA for the situation we are currently in.

I’m left to wonder if you’re saying the same thing to all the edgy communists who are promising they won’t vote for Newsom if he wins the bid.

You know. Because it’s just a repeat of the same thing they did last time and all.

I honestly can’t believe they haven’t learned the consequences of doing nothing when the bare minimum would have saved so many people.

I am left to believe that trump’s bot campaign is back in full force because frankly, I cannot believe someone can be this willfully ignorant.

May he rot in hell, flayed and fearful.

Nothing that exists, does so without first passing through the framework of nuance.

I will always appreciate the nuanced take on things. No matter the subject. So often people are so vapidly polarized on seemingly every topic under the sun, so it’s refreshing to see this. Thank you.

I block wastes of my time. Simple as.

I’ve no problem debating with people that have both the intelligence and the maturity to discuss a topic without resorting to manipulating my point into shit I’m not saying, or saying moronic things like “Genocide Joe.”

Basically, I’m just not about entertaining stupid attempts at manufacturing an argument. I don’t have the time for it, and those types love to waste time.

Yeah. I’m done with you…. mate.

You lied. Just have an ounce of shame and admit it. And for the record, I’m not asking you to continue. By all means. Stop. Disinformation isn’t something I believe needs to be allowed a platform, though I do believe it is everyone’s duty to call it out when it happens.

I asked you to prove this:

He only ran as a dem because he is in California and Republicans have no chance there

-and you cannot. Therefore what is happening is you are positioning an opinion as fact. This means it can easily be dismissed as irrelevant to the topic.

Agreed. It’s that whole “perfect being the opposite of good” ideology. Every election year, it’s always the same thing- some socio-economic or political event gets them in a rage and they aren’t even aware that by-and-large, it’s the conservatives that are in the shadows, laughing their asses off while fanning the flames.

The fracture their protest causes only helps the right. And their smug arrogance won’t ever lent them see it.

Yeah. I’m noticing that a lot lately. Especially here. I was recently asked what I felt the difference between Lemmy and Reddit is, and I said that from my opinion, Reddit is full of smart people that try to act stupid, and Lemmy is full of stupid people that try to act smart.

This isn’t to say that this applies to everyone, as of course- there’s nuance in everything, but it does seem to be a bit of a theme to both platforms.

So, basically what this says is that- the pedophile’s, I mean… the conservative’s plan seems to be working as expected.

Yup.

The minute you said “gEnOciDe jOe” this discussion ended. I have no tolerance to entertain ignorance.

Do you always need to rewrite other people’s arguments in order to have something to argue against?

I’m the one that gets to illustrate my point. Not you.

What I said, was that they were going to wage a war against Palestine regardless of anyone’s assistance. I said nothing at all about us bombing anyone at all.

If you can’t discuss the topic like a mature adult, you can go manufacture your outrage elsewhere. I’m not providing a platform for you to spew nonsense.

That in no way supports your argument. Try again.

A few more years of this style of “pragmatic liberal utilitarianism” will have you voting for a Dem who wants 9 genocides over a republican who wants 10.

When we go to unprovable predictions about the future so that the your argument cannot be refuted, the debate ends right there. I don’t play what if. I play what was and what is.

Genocide was going to happen without anyone else being involved. And if America wasn’t involved, you lot would have just found another thing to be outraged over. I’ve seen this time-and-again. This happens every election year.

Cry all you want about how unjust things are happening. But know that unjust things have always happened just as they are happening now. No matter who is in office, and no matter how much you don’t like it.

Lastly… You chose this reality by refusing to step up and do your part. And not only that, but you chose this for millions of others. I sincerely hope that your ability to remain in denial of this is able to sustain you through the hardships they all have to face.

Because we certainly wouldn’t want the hardships and oppression of millions of people to hurt your feelings, would we?

This argument is over.

That’s most of them from my experience. Same result at the end of the day either way.

The campaign to smear anyone that challenges republicans has started already.
