Story of my life. What’s your ideal?

Shooting on a #Red. 🤣

You never said anything but posted a picture of Trump supporters and specifically cited the figures of Trump supporters. What you’re doing by denying that you were talking about Trump, ladies and gentlemen, is called gaslighting.

Using my girl, Audrey to draw my attention works every time. 😍

That ship has sailed.

Trump will be elected because Biden is just so laughably bad…and it appears as if he doesn’t mind probably because Democrats would honestly rather lose to Trump than piss of their billionaire oligarch owners by giving constituents even a breadcrumb. We have two parties working toward the same corporatism and a bunch of frothing tribalists preventing us from coming to grips with that fact.

Haven’t you noticed that saying , “but Trump” allows Democrats to do WHATEVER they want. Ever since Trump appeared on the scene, Democrats have happily stopped listening to their constituents.

I have a feeling that we’re actually on the same “side” but your brainwashing (coupled with trauma from constant online vote-shaming) prevents you from recognizing it.

You seeem to be able to correctly identify the problem as conservatism but have a hard time understanding that Biden is basically Reagan in almost every way other than the fact that Biden is to the right of Reagan on immigration.

What conversation?

You implied that Trump will bring about the end of the world while everything will be sunshine and daisies if Biden wins (conveniently pretending that we don’t have 4 years of each to objectively compare them). I posted to laugh at you and that I disagree and you simply coudn’t take it and had to brigade me and call me names while not engaging me on any meaningful level. You’re really not coming off as incredibly intelligent yourself.

Russian bot?

You’re sitting here, characterizing BIDEN as the person who will bring us:

a futurist utopia in which we focus on solutions that benefit all of mankind and all the other lifeforms on the planet.

How badly have worms have infected your brain when you honestly believe that Biden will bring you ANY of those things after 4 years of his administration loudly proclaiming, “best I can do is pretend that my hands were tied in helping US citizens in ANY way whatsoever. You’re lucky that I even pretend to pander.” and using his executive orders to send BILLIONS over there to help murder brown people and getting us into 7 wars?

You think that if Biden gets elected, he’ll suddenly create this utopia when in reality, we’ll be pretty much just as fucked as we are under a Trump presidency. These two are really only different in their rhetoric if you look at what Biden is doing at the border to appease conservatives.

It’s even funnier that you’re all high and mighty while demonstrating a lack of understanding about NFT’s.

Here’s some nuance (for those that are allergic to it): I AGREE THAT NFT’s ARE A DUMB IDEA WHEN THEY ARE USED TO SELL JPEGS. I never bought a single NFT.

However, in crypto world, they are also TOTALLY VALID:

• IN THE CONTEXT OF A GAME WHERE OWNERSHIP OF ITEMS IS A THING

• IN THE CONTEXT OF DAPPS WHERE A UNIQUE ITEM MAY BE NEEDED IN FOR VARIOUS FORMS OF LOGIC

• D.I.D (digital identity)

• in thousands of other contexts where uniqueness needs to be codified

Does it ever hurt your brain to be so reductive about whole industries? Many, many people in the crypto industry have been dragged kicking and screaming into the “line go up” marketing bullshit and people like you are perfectly happy to lump them all together. It makes you look like a sheep. Some people are actually in it for the tech.

This reminds me of smug DNC cultists who will call anyone that expresses even the slightest criticism of Joe Biden a “Trump supporter” simply because they are programmed to lazily reduce the complexity of the human condition into two clear camps when in reality, the variety of positions that one can hold are infinite.

It also stinks to high heaven of heavily propagandized people who intensely support an actual genocide against Palestine because the adults in the room told them that they will be seen as anti-semetic if they oppose it while simultaneously foaming at the mouth over the “atrocities” being committed against Ukraine (who’s military is run by actual Nazis who actually admit to being anti-semetic).

In conclusion, I highly doubt that any of your opinions were developed in your own mind. If your propaganda network supported crypto technologies tomorrow, you’d suddenly support them too.

People’s sudden, blind hatred for anything to do with crypto is a great indicator of their own personal incapacity for critical thinking and a proclivity to lazily adopt the opinions of their peers.

Crypto bad! /s

Wait until you find out that in-game items in MMORPG’s are really just NFT’s under a less crypto-bro pseudonym!

Perhaps you should boycott all online video games entirely because they’re all technically using crypto bro concepts like NFT’s to represent in-game items.

It has.

Do you not realize that other people can see you gaslighting me here?

For those that actually give a shit, look it up. I never gave the DNC my mailing nor email address but they have it. The only time I ever used my real email address in any political campaign was when I DONATED TO THE SANDERS CAMPAIGN IN 2016 and 2020.

That is textbook sheepdog bullshit. Your username has become synonymous with shitlib gaslighting. Maybe shut your mouth.

Yes. The Bernie Sanders who sold my email address and contact info to the DNC after I donated to him and he pretended to do all he could. The Bernie Sanders who went on and on about Israel’s “right to defend itself“ while the ICJ found them guilty of war crimes. The Bernie Sanders who went on and on about Israel’s “right to defend itself“ while fully aware that Israel is murdering women in children sleeping in their homes, in hospitals, and in refugee camps.

DNC sheepdog pretends that he hasn’t used up the last of his good will when he refused to stand up to a genocide; Urges us to just vote harder to get behind his impotent healthcare initiative which will be stripped down by the exact same DNC profiteers that he supported by refusing to stand up against aforementioned genocide, still in effect.

I’m actually in that camp too. I’m just FAR from plugging my ears and calling anyone from an entire site a “tankie” and banning them outright.

Many of these people are quite intelligent and are willing to talk through their perspective. It’s not like it’s going to suddenly make you into one of them to read some of their writing. If your moral compass is well-calibrated, you’ll know that what they’re saying is wrong.

The only way that we can understand people we disagree with is to study them and analyze their perspective on their level.

I’ve seen calls for violence and rhetoric that I didn’t agree with. I didn’t join in. I just said to myself, “this is wrong.” and I went on to say my piece in defense of a different way.

Now if someone is openly calling for the deaths of entire ethnicities, that’s an obvious, “the only way to deal with a Nazi is bullying”.

Again, it is complicated and nuanced. I’m honestly glad to be talking about it here because I think that no one has the answer. I just think the answer is RARELY to plug your ears and dismiss people with labels in this and many other cases.

I think it’s pretty authoritarian to seek to stifle any speech. Where I have to obviously draw the line is groups that are clearly hate groups.

It’s tough to toe the line and I appreciate your intellectually honest retort. I understand where you’re coming from and on the surface, it seems to force people to find some sweeping rule for most situations.

Perhaps that’s the problem though. Perhaps painting with a broad brush is the problem. Perhaps comments should be moderated on a case by case basis. I know I’ve said some things on hexbear that got me banned for being “patsoc” and it rubbed me the wrong way.
Heavy handed moderation and generalization of entire swaths of people just disgusts me.

I honestly don’t know the answer. But I do know that bundling anyone who has communist views into some reductive title is shitty, intellectually dishonest bootlicker behavior. Maybe OP doesn’t even realize it.
