There's a weird cult around hating this one guy specifically, and people just cannot help but tell on themselves whenever he's mentioned. It's pathetic.
I guarantee that he does far more to push for progressive causes in a single year than you'll do in your entire lifetime.
I'm not even a fan of the guy, I'm just not a fucking idiot
Wow you got me.
Hate the guy all you like. I'm not a fan either. But that's not what I was talking about. I was talking about the political point he made. You turned it into a debate about his character, and with the weird "explains much" shit, into a debate about my character. You could have said "that guy's a douche" and I'd have responded with "yup but the douche is making a good point". Instead you chose toxicity and vitriol. Maybe chill a bit.
See that's the problem. You've poisoned the space between us, I have no patience to engage with you further and have this discussion on the actual merits of the fucking political point which I would have liked to have in the first place. Do better by our community next time.
Poisoned by repeatedly using the "explains a lot" dismissive and rude passive aggression, since your very first response to me.
We're done.
You did a bad job of challenging or conversing. You have been singular sided the whole time.
You are toxic, at least specifically to this entire thread so far. And I am plenty happy to add to that so you maybe hear it.
