jesus christ read at least one book about the history of the conflict you're describing before you confidently spout nonsense.

I agree my characterisation is far off the mark. But the poster I responded to wasn’t even in the same galaxy, so I still considered it an improvement.

Also, I’m not Jesus Christ 🤪

Do they make redditors in a factory or something

[-] thegreekgeek@midwest.social 3 points 1 year ago

No, they make Patrick.

So you acknowledge the fact that you don't know shit about the topic you're spouting off on but you still just assume you know better??

They did not say that they don't know shit about the topic, not even close. They simply said their characterization is far off the marks. That means that their understanding of the conflict is far from perfect, but they absolutely do know shit about it.

They didn't say they were wrong

They just said they were far off the mark

That means their understanding is far from perfect

They absolutely do know their shit

far from perfect can still be good.

far off the mark

Can it be time for you to shut up yet?

To think that you saw me make fun of you for the game of telephone you played with yourself and decided to take the final translation and defend yourself with it. Way to miss the fucking point. "Far from the mark" was already cope by someone who was simply fucking wrong about what they said.
