It's really backing itself up the more inane crap you write here.

This happens every time I throw out an opinion that's even slightly controversial on Lemmy. Eventually, people realize they're wrong and they can't give me an actual counter point. So they resort to basically what's happening now, which is derailing the conversation by refusing to elaborate when I ask in good faith what they mean. This time, it's some apparent irony that they won't explain, probably because it doesn't even exist. Maybe the person doesn't respond because they are afraid I'll just dismantle their point again.

I mean, I can go back and reread all of messages from the mass of dissenters and try to to rationalize whatever "irony" it is they're talking about, but irony is subjective. And now were left with this permanent internet monument where nobody was able to actually throw out any counter arguments with real substance to them. So I guess I win?

You can't seriously be this stupid, but maybe you are so I'll throw you a bone.

You're "arguing" that someone's writing is coming across poorly to the audience and hurting their point. In a thread where the voting record clearly indicates that your writing is coming off poorly to the audience.

Didn't think that needed such a blatant explanation, but here we are.

You know you've won a discussion when the other person has resorted to calling you stupid, because they can't think of anything worhwhile to say. That's the best indicator that you've lost.

I love it.

Ahahaha!

Sure bud, go ahead and chalk this up as a win for yourself. You clearly need it.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!
