I’ve been kind of on the fence about this but then research found that people who physically or verbally express their anger tend to get angrier or delay calming down, contrary to conventional wisdom. I wonder if there could be a similar pattern with this so now I’m hesitating.

Omg I always wanted to do this but it would’ve looked only half as good. Amazing job!

I mean, I see that behavior whether I disagree with them or not, and not because they’re tankies but because they’re people. It’s not the gotcha you think it is, honestly. lol

Also, quite the non-sequitur there. You’re really reaching for that win, huh. But you gotta reach harder.

That’s literally not what was said though. Lol

And that’s not quite my point either, but ok. You’ve either not taken a moment to understand what I mean or you’re willingly misinterpreting it going after the low hanging fruit. Whichever it is, please stop trying to rewrite the thread. It’s quite disingenuous. Thanks.

I made it perfectly clear what kind of dismissive attacks I meant and even gave examples of I was talking about which you admitted to perpetrating, but you’re here splitting hairs and making petty demands so that you come out clean as if I care. And now you’re rewriting a thread from your POV in an attempt to win over people by insulting their intelligence while you’re thirsting for some insignificant victory in an inconsequential thread. Amusingly weird behavior, if you ask me. lol

So your answer to me replying in good faith is to double down and reply in bad faith to drive a petty point because I refuse to do some fool’s errand for you? Yeah, that’s not gonna fly.

I already explained the distinction

You can have your distinction but I’m not making one. I’m not operating under that framework you setup. I’m saying something one thing and you’re trying to shoehorn in the conversation into some other thing.

can’t provide a single example of

And, as I’ve already explained, I won’t.

We’ve run our course. Good day.

Yes. I don’t know where the notion that tankies don’t do that sort of thing comes from when they do it all the time in their own way. Sure, they’re not accusing anyone of being a Liberal bot sent by Soros because it’s absurd, but they approximate with what they can to discredit who they don’t like. They’re only human.

I’m not about to go hunt down a links from a year ago on a banned account in some other instance I abhor, or comb through petty nonsense to find examples for you. You can believe me or not, I don’t mind, and I will do the same. Besides, you already stated that if someone looks like a lib you’re gonna call it a lib “even if they deny the label”, and that’s what I mean about these personal attacks.

It’s fine if you want to make a distinction, but the pairing along with the outright dismissiveness is precisely what I mean, though. Being dismissive because of branding someone a label is my point, even though the person they were referring to is not liberal–me.

I’m not going to assume that they’re paid actors in some secret conspiracy who don’t really believe a word of what they’re saying

I’m glad you don’t, but that’s not what I saw.

“Oh another dumb liberal”

“Liberal opinion disregarded”

Not Russian bots, they like those. Lol I have seen tankies write off people as liberals, funnily enough.

the constant liberal need

Funny you qualify it as such. I saw that same behavior with the tankies and other ideologies.

I was saying that too before he bought the election. But then he bought the election.

You decide

Can’t come fucking soon enough. Every day is more shit and it’s worse than yesterday.

Set it on fire & dip. Jk… unless?

I haven’t had much trouble with World. But .ml and Blahaj are both fucking insane. Good riddance.

I wonder if the Trump administration would follow international law seeing how they’re openly defying court rules.

I am
