While I like your point, how exactly should democrats “fight fire with fire” without compromising morals and ethics?

Maybe look outside of the US for answers to this.

I swear to god Us Propaganda has put some kind of horse blinder on the brains of its citizens that blocks out anything that doesn’t happen in the USA.

This kind of answer reads an awful lot like 'You'll agree with me once you do your own research into vaccines.' It claims to have an answer but suspiciously refuses to share it.

Buddy if you’re expecting me to explain to you knowledge that I’ve gained from reading countless books about theory and history over Lemmy just for your personal benefit while being a cunt about it, I don’t know what to tell you man. Not gonna happen. This isn’t “I watched a YouTube conspiracy video/podcast” shit, which I’m guessing is much closer to the truth for your ideology than mine.

My point was simply there is no visible difference between your comment and ones like the paraphrase in mine. You can have ten doctorates. It doesn't matter. This is the internet. It's all blindfolded elephant touching on here. Saying 'you're wrong' without support makes you look like an asshole, regardless of your intent or how much weight you think people should give your views. Taking the time to respond, but then not using it to support your claims and, instead, claim the superiority of 'my time is too valuable to waste on you' just makes you look like more of an asshole who doesn't know what they're talking about. If you don't want to participate in the conversation, that's fine, but why pipe up just to say 'I'm an asshole,' repeatedly? If you keep saying it, people are going to believe you.
