That was the tongue-in-cheek point of my comment about you jumping to conclusions about the previous comment. They said that they don't think more people on the planet is beneficial, and you went straight to calling people them an eco-nazi without bothering to understand what they meant.
Woosh.
I can't tell which is worse; your reading comprehension or the irony of you saying I'm the one jumping to conclusions.
Maybe reread the initial comment I made. I asked for clarification on what they meant because I DIDN'T jump to conclusions. Then I clarified why I was asking because that language around "population" is often used by white supremacists.
I never accused that comment of such things and they followed it up with a clarification. We had an adult conversation and didn't make a childish comment like you did.
Maybe go read it. Because it seems like you might need an example of how to actually communicate with people around sensitive subjects without just straw manning what someone is asking and saying.
You can misunderstand my comment. That's fine. That can happen. But you're doubling down on your misunderstanding now and pretending that that's what I "secretly" meant. You are being childish.
Oh shit I'm sorry, this wasn't you?
OH WAIT.
The real rich thing is you saying "I don't want to jump to conclusions" and then the next two sentences are "You must be talking about population control and Nazi eugenics shit".
Don't fuck with me. I've got receipts.
Not really much of a conversation TBH. Just try to avoid associating peope with Nazis or Eco-Fascists before you try to understand what they are saying. I did see your split off thread, and I'm glad there was a more measured and serious tone in there...
You could have just left it at your first paragraph and left out your incomplete opinions about how the only solution is population control through eugenics. I thought it was a funny interaction, boiled it down to its core concepts, threw in a dash of all caps no spaces and it blew up.
