Don’t despair when the lib you’re talking to ignores your well thought out response. Instead, look at the people lurking and reading the thread and not commenting, and what they see. They see you provide thoughtful and insightful statements backed up with evidence, only for the lib to either ignore it entirely or just dismiss it with a handwave (and obviously not even reading it). Even if someone agrees with the lib and not you, it still isn’t a good look for their “team” to be so smugly and proudly ignorant.
the last three or four weeks have been fucking ghastly. we are ruled by demons
Truly, and it’s mind blowing to see people run defence for them, insisting that those that oppose them are the real demons, while claiming that they oppose the powers that be are “just as bad” despite never actually willing to commit to their own claims about what they would do if they were living in the exact situation they claim to despise.
Said lib has taken to posting about those mean hexbear tankies all over the anti-communist parts of Lemmy (and also for some reason lemmy.ml’s anarchism comm). This was never about good faith discussion and all about getting in a pissing contest here then whining about it elsewhere.
Yeah, they show up every now and then so they can whine about “censorship” or mean evilbad tankies. It’s so pathetic.
