Holding out on you? Mature? Where the fuck did I say I was mature? I said I've been doing this shit a long time but I never used the word mature. What the fuck are you babbling about? I'm saying experienced, that's not the same as maturity. Maturity is more of a social construct implying a wise and pro-social state.
Here's the thing: Everytime I get into discussions with you fucking people (or watching discussions play out between you and other people on here) trying to pry out your actual stances are, you get pissy because you know they're unhinged views and no one sane takes them seriously when they're laid out on the table. Or you do what you are doing now: hyperfixate on the character of who you are arguing with, in this case me. I never claimed to have good character, I'll embrace the fact that I've become a misanthrope because its true. I don't give a fuck that you think I'm a bad person, we will never fucking meet. You believe bad people are good and good people are bad anyway so I don't give a fuck about your tainted evaluation of my character. It doesn't fucking matter to either of us I don't know why you pretend. Well, I mean I do: cognitive dissonance and maybe propaganda purposes.
Notice how I more or stated the person's views are delusional after insisting they come out with it though. I called them a coward because they obfuscated their beliefs to get them to just fucking come out with it. After they disclosed what they actually thought, I realized that I was basically potentially engaging with a flat earther equivalent set of arguments and told them I hated them for the consequences of their rhetoric.
What else needs to be said? That you guys decide to engage with me after implies that you think there is something to be gained in doing so. IDK why you don't just block me if that isn't the case.
Telling me to go away wont work. My job has too many boring moments and I got to fill that shit with something.
You can't have so many consecutive posts where you say nothing on topic or of value and then expect people to read a whole chapter of your diary like this
I was talking about campists/tankie/.ml-user beliefs and propaganda tactics and how transparently dumb it all is. I don't want to talk about me, you guys are the ones trying to make this about me.
Anyways, I'm sorry you struggle with reading. I thought you .ml users were all about reading big old texts written by autistics. Must be a terrible handicap in your social circle.
"you're wrong and no I won't say about what or articulate why, I'm just going to whine for literally a dozen paragraphs and if you don't read them all then I'm gonna start throwing slurs"
welcome to dot world
Judge our enemies by the fact that it's us that don't like them
Dude what he posted was on another planet from me though. Do you argue with MAGA? Do you actually waste your time on debating Qanon? Do you waste time on perpetual motion machines?
Hey man I fucking love discourse, I love debate, but there is a line even for me. I only have so much mental energy or time.
EDIT: Also I think things are hopeless these days so I kind of just hate people now.
EDIT2: I also kind of just want things to be hopeless because I want a reason to stop caring. I'm tired of caring. I want to stop caring.
Qanon hasn't been a thing for years. Why are you telling me you care when you haven't left 2016?
You feel hopeless because you have no vision for the future. That's downstream from having no ideology. You have no project so all you do is complain and whine. The answer for you is to make good on that 'woe is me' bullshit and actually have some humility. Because obviously you're wrong about something and struggling with the contradictions. You're going to have to figure your shit out.
Or just fully embrace the nihilism and be a fascist for real because that's the road you're on right now.
Qanon still exists, it just shrank. Regardless at its peak it was an example of a group of people that shouldn't be talked to unless you want to waste your time. Which I guess I seem to love doing, at least at work.
I feel things are hopeless because the evidence seems to pretty strongly point to that conclusion.
Well as we previously discovered you're fucking dumb so maybe it's time to stop pretending you know what you're talking about.
