    Not one word of this is true.

    Come on. I know a debate lord when I see one. Game recognizes game. The problem with being a debate lord is that there’s always a bigger debate lord than you 😈.

    Maybe don’t make jokes

    Socialism is when no jokes /s

    …under a warning about peoples safety as a person who is partly responsible for aforementioned lack of safety.

    Oh my fucking God no I am not partly responsible for the lack of safety that the US government imposes on its citizens. The US GOVERNMENT is causally responsible, and the fault lies with the people who run the system and the capitalists who are responsible for it. The State imposes this reality on me and almost everyone else here. We NEVER had a democracy, even de jure! The United States is a “democratic” republic! And every step of the way, I have expressed my disgust for this evil country and its trajectory!

    Please if you take home only one message, it is this: States IMPOSE their will upon the working class.

    And again, what I said did not even go against your warning. It didn’t even diminish the engagement your warning got. It probably got a few people more people to read it because there was an actual discussion below it.

    And if you thought what I said was insensitive, you could have clearly stated so. But again… this is my reality too, that I’m fucking stuck in this sick fucking hellhole. I feel like I have a right to make jokes at my own expense.

    The delivery of information doesn’t change whether it is correct or not.

    Right, that’s why I put it in a separate part of the comment separated by a line. But also… that’s not how humans operate? If you want people to listen to you, in general you can’t be a jerk about it. That’s something you’ll learn as you unlearn debate lord habits.

    I have not been a jerk to basically everyone who I have interacted with, but I would love to see you waste your time by providing a chart that demonstrates me being an unwarranted jerk to the majority of people over 1.23k comments and 20 posts.

    I mean “being a jerk” is an opinion, so it’s not something you can really do reliable mathematics about, i.e. a chart would be equivalent to what I have already given you in text form. A chart actually would have been faster to make, i.e. it would be less of a waste of time.

    More precisely: you’ve been being a jerk to people on Lemmy with the account I’m replying to. I don’t think you’re necessarily a jerk anywhere else. This isn’t a personal attack. I’m commenting on your behavior.

    This shouldn’t be too hard since you are already balls deep in my account. I expect it by the end of the week or your fired.

    Nah I’m not that deep in your profile lol, and I’m not even good at reading people. Just a week or two to get a sense of where you’re coming from.

    I also clearly stated why I proceeded the way I did.

    I agree to disagree.

    You didn’t have to keep going but you did.

    Yup. I’m not a debate lord. I’m a debate monster 👹.

    I am responsible for my end, and you yours. It is on you just as much as me that we are here.

    Hell yeah I’m riding this train wherever it goes 🚂🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃. Edit: Actually I’m not gonna respond to any responses to the previous two responses because I’ve made my points and the rational side of me is realizing that this is getting a bit excessive. Not that I can’t, but because I’m seeing myself get back into those debate lord behaviors I loathe so much.

    So genuinely: beyond this point, I can agree to disagree with you, I apologize for not dropping it earlier, and have a nice rest of your week.

      Honestly, the fact that you are trying to pretend I didn’t tell you my background in an attempt to prove whatever point you are trying to make about me is humourous.

      Enjoy the last word, and I highly recommend you educate yourself on my country before ever talking shit again.

        You told me that you’re Greek-Canadian, right? I genuinely forgot that you told me, sorry. Being Greek didn’t register in my 💩 brain as a visible minority group, but it absolutely is. I was also leaving open the possiblity of belonging to any other minority identities you hadn’t previously talked about without assuming cisheteronormative “defaults”.

        whatever point you are trying to make about me is humourous

        I wanted to move on with the discussion as if you could have been, but did not definitively tell me, that you were from a group which is a minority in Canada. Which you did and I acknowledge that now, and I simply forgot.

        I stand by the rest of what I said. I’m gonna leave it here because this is already verging on unhealthy.
