Remembering to look for and ignore folks with that telltale indicator has made the fediverse so much more enjoyable.

    You think it’s acceptable to supplant what I actually said in its original context with how you arranged it instead? See how both the post and the picture fit exactly with your behavior?

      I literally just asked whether your exact words apply to other genocides. That’s it. You’re acting like that’s somehow deceptive.

      Still can’t answer the question btw 🤔

        Brother, you’re setting up a false narrative and asking me to debunk it. How is that not deceptive? 😂

          “False narrative” do you not understand how hypotheticals work? Are all hypotheticals “deceptive?” Christ Jesus.

          I’m not sure whether to pity you for having been failed by your educational system or whether to pity the educational system for having to deal with you.

            No, I’m literally saying yours is, actually. But talk about the failed education system some more, why don’t cha. Embody this post for us all, please.

              And you can’t give any reason why my hypothetical isn’t valid beyond “it’s dumb” or it’s “a false narrative,” with no further explanation.

              It’s not complicated, it’s incredibly straightforward. We don’t even need the hypothetical, since you seem to struggle with the concept of them. Let’s frame it this way instead: is it valid to say the exact things you say about one genocide about other genocides? Yes or no.

                We don’t even need the hypothetical

                That’s what I’ve been saying all along. Why even bother with this bullshit and pretend it’s somehow the ultimate litmus test when we could’ve been discussing the facts? Oh, right, we tried that to no avail on your part.

                is it valid to say the exact things you say about one genocide about other genocides? Yes or no.

                How about this: Is it valid to accuse, misconstrue, bully, lie, attempt to publicly shame, and purposely misrepresent others under the guise of being an anti-genocide white knight by twisting people’s words even after they have fully explained what they meant and refuse to acknowledge that? Yes or no.

                You talk a lot about human rights, and yet you fail to respect the people who are right in front of you.

                  Because, dumbass, hypotheticals are not “bullshit,” they’re a perfectly valid form of reasoning, and have been accepted as such by everyone since fucking Socrates.

                  How about this: Is it valid to accuse, misconstrue, bully, lie, attempt to publicly shame, and purposely misrepresent others under the guise of being an anti-genocide white knight by twisting people’s words even after they have fully explained what they meant and refuse to acknowledge that?

                  I didn’t do any of that shit. I haven’t misconstrued a single thing you’ve said, I have not lied or bullied, I didn’t even engage when you brought it up more publicly in this thread, where you were trying to shame me.

                  Really, the only thing I’ve done is ask you is whether the Holocaust was justified or not, and when you couldn’t answer that, I called you a Nazi. That’s it.

                  Still no answer btw 🤔

                    Inb4 the “but you haven’t ExPlIcItLy DeNoUnCeD tHe hoLuCaUsT” because you can’t read between the lines. I know the horrors. Discovering its history is actually one of the most memorable moments of my teenage years. The harrowing thought that people could behave like this to one another changed me in ways no other thing has. I’ve read the books, some of them twice. And I haven’t even mentioned the other genocides, like the Rape of Nanking, that left me disheartened for weeks after reading it. Or the My Lai Massacre. Or even Gaza.

                    But none of that matters when we have some utter assholes on the internet using it as a cheap excuse to entertain themselves at the expense of others, as you and the other guy have. After all of this, I can confidently say that neither of your concerns is genuine, and that your only goal is to grind a stupid and superficial axe for cheap internet points. Rather than give the people the benefit of the doubt and allow people to share their thoughts and ideas, you’d rather go for the jugular. You’d much rather spend the day accusing, bickering, and vilifying than trying to understand. You’re an extension of the hate. You’re despicable.

                    Because, dumbass

                    There it is! The flaps of rotten skin hanging from the back that were tied up in a bun. So much for trying to look good.

                    they’re a perfectly valid form of reasoning

                    You know what’s also an even more valid form of reasoning? Sticking to what actually happened instead of inventing unfair scenarios.

                    I haven’t misconstrued a single thing you’ve said,

                    How many times have you called me a Nazi, exactly? I should’ve kept count, but it was literally every single comment for a while. You’ve also lied, pretending you didn’t understand a basic analogy, and barraged me repeatedly over something I said to somebody else. And now you’re even trying to lie to others about me by giving a partial context, just enough to give the wrong idea, so that they get on your side early.

                    where you were trying to shame me.

                    I simply said it was you because it is. I also thought it was really funny that you were trying to look good in the top comments so that people would upvote you. Now you’re devolving to the nasty little gremlin that you truly are, and I hope people can see that.

                    Really, the only thing I’ve done is ask you is whether the Holocaust was justified or not

                    You have not, you just did. I can unequivocally say the Holocaust is evil because–get this–I have a bit of Jewish and native ancestry. Le gasp. But no, you’d rather put people down instead by lying like this.
