Good god, no

yeah this whole thing is a hot mess lol

entertaining day at work tho

hey this one might actually be legit, so worth either engaging with or just disengaging completely, fyi

It’s rare, but it does happen on occasion :)

Also sorry for splitting our conversation over two separate threads, it was a bit confusing and added to my frustration

I get you on 3. and your feelings are totally valid

4. sorry this was friendly fire, it almost always isnt and is worth the risk, but I am sorry if that means anything to ya

I actually just posted what amounts to a short essay about this, if you’re interested in more of my reasoning you can check it out. Cheers though, wish you well

I guess I’m in a good mood haha

I’m also seeing them remove stuff worth removing, and most of my comments are still up, to give credit where it’s due

reason: Nuke

what does this mean?

happens to be

I wonder if there was material historical precedent that could explain this, and explain the state of the modern world?

Nah, systems aren’t real I forgot, nevermind

This is what happens when you view the world through liberal idealism instead of doing any material analysis whatsoever

Systems aren’t real, they’re just imaginary, they can’t hurt you, there’s no such thing as systemic oppression just a few bad apples

Lmfao shut up

I’m pretty sure you’re genuine, and if that is the case, I hope you will be able to figure out why you were lumped in with the rest, and hope it doesn’t happen again because you learn the lesson

Also, I will definitely admit that I was very annoyed and could have been nicer about it,and on the off chance you’re actually genuine hey sorry. But that’s not the important thing, ‘being nicer about it’ is a personal decision not a moral necessity. The “it” we’re being “nicer” about is often something horrifying, like when people got upset at Aaron Bushnell for his self immolation, who were more upset about THAT than they are about what’s happening to innocent bystanders in Palestine. No one is required to put up with someone’s bullshit just for the purpose of helping them learn and grow. Its good to do in the few times when that is possible…

but here?

on the internet? Its 1/1000 interactions where that’s possible, and 1/2 of the time we’re dealing with actual nazis and people who support and encourage systems that target us for extermination, us being any marginalized identities, which hexbear mostly is in one way or another, not just because we’re leftists, but also most are trans and/or queer and/or poc and/or neurodivergent etc etc. We have been around for years and over those years, have grown to recognize civility bullshit for what it always was. And recognize what it means when people are upset about criticism of privileged behavior that demonstrate the contradictions inherent to our current system. To see that an not react harshly against it is no different than contributing to it yourself

To hear incorrect views without rebutting them and, but instead to take them calmly as if nothing had happened.

That’s why many people in this thread reacted negatively to the comments we did. Clear enough?

Someone is telling you there are issues with your posts, you then went looking at your own posts and saying to yourself “no, the rest of these are fine”

Do you not see the issue here?

You didn’t know any of them were not fine in the first place, that’s why you posted them, because you were ignorant about the context and implications

Not an insult, ignorant means you were unaware. Continuing in ignorance after it’s been pointed out, however…

That’s some dumbass shit right there

To reiterate: it is almost unbelievible to me that someone could see this situation and genuinely be clueless as to why it matters that the asshole in the post is an old white man.

That and the fact that hours later you still seem not to grasp why that stance was treated with such hostility, is why we’re treating you with even more hostility

Because you’re either a lost cause

or

you know exactly what you’re doing and you’re doing it on purpose

Thank you for your service, brave truth teller! Truly, the world is saved thanks to you!

What did you say? I’ll answer you, I’ve just lost the original question in all of your back and forth

From my perspective, it actually served to do the opposite. I understand that you’re posting in good faith, but it is, especially at first, indistinguishable from the kinds I was describing
