Won’t someone rid me of all of these mettlesome Nazis?
You're thinking of "meddlesome", as in meddle (interfere). "Mettlesome" means being characterized by mettle (courage).
How can you believe that you know someone else else’s thoughts without blowing your own head off?
I assumed you weren't calling Nazis courageous. Was I wrong?
Of course you were wrong. Apparently, you have more holes in your head than most humans
So you are saying these Nazis are courageous. In that case you're just a piece of shit. My mistake.
Are you on shrooms or acid? Cause I definitely never said that.
What the fuck is wrong with you?
You called Nazis "mettlesome." As another user pointed out, mettlesome means characterized by courage. Rather than just saying "ah, my mistake I must've meant meddlesome like you said" you had a weird crashout over being corrected that included you saying someone was wrong to assume you weren't calling Nazis courageous.
So not only did you technically say it from the get-go, you then doubled down later on. You said it twice in two different ways.
Yawn
I said:
You replied:
Dunno how else to interpret that.
Something is extraordinarily wrong with your brain. If you interpreted that in the way you did.
Your brain is explosively broken
That's how everybody's interpreting that. That's the only logical way to interpret that. Maybe you need to reread it. Because if you don't mean to sound pro Nazi you should change it and change your behavior here, that is how you are coming off to outside observers.
Of course not.
What other way is there to interpret that? Please, enlighten me.
Your problems are no longer mine to figure out. I’m gonna block you now. Bother someone else with your problems.
Saves me the trouble.
