You’re not getting your way, that’s why you keep talking. Every response you give has been nothing except the ignorant, petty, immature ramblings I’ve come to expect out of Lemmy. Saying and doing anything to try to win a confrontation instead of sitting down and thinking about what you and your opponent is saying, and that’s why I say this is why Lemmy is a perfect sample of America and why therefore America needs to crash and burn.

And you do. And you likely will at the end of the year, and it’ll be sad, so sad, but you have brought every single ounce of the consequences you’ve been building up onto yourselves.

It never occurs to you that your behavior is alienating people away from Democrats and convincing people to vote third party in this next election either, but you don’t actually give a shit about the future of your country so of course you wouldn’t. 🤷

Not my problem. It’s all on you.

Then don’t waste my time arguing with me trying to convince me to change my opinion of you, because until you change, and Lemmy itself changes, you’re not going to get your way. It’s as simple as that.

You’re here doing nothing but criticizing the fact that I am arguing with you instead of thinking about what I said and realizing you simply misunderstood, so yes. You are a perfect example of that lowest common denominator.

You want my opinion to change? Delete your responses to me, apologize to me for wasting my time, and move on.

Criticizing my response instead of directing it is exactly the kind of shit behavior I’m talking about. Thanks for proving me right about you, like you always do.

Oh hey, I think we were talking about Lemmy users organizing anything meaningful or just politically when they’ve clearly demonstrated their inability and refusal to do so on their own website.

Now read what I said again. Slowly this time.

That’s what you all tell me to do on Lemmy here, now, when you blatantly refuse to enforce your own rules or reign in your own shitty, authoritarian leadership. You even said to my face that you’ll do whatever the hell you want and that’s just how the internet works. You ALREADY expect people to just live that way so what makes you think any of your holier than thou grandstanding means anything?

You’re probably just butthurt it isn’t you running for President.

They won’t do anything because they are selfish, lazy, weak, authoritarian cowards.

They can’t and won’t even enforce their own rules on Lemmy so what makes you think they’re going to do anything to save their own country?

Then the left would not have been able to organize at all, yet here we are.

People are moving away from Biden and standing by him is going to cost you the future of this country.

Then all of you find a third party and vote for them instead of Biden. Force the change you want to see in thr world. Until then, get out of my face.

Are you listening at all or are you just looking for a cheap gotcha moment?

Instead of advocating for a third party that can possibly offer us something better, all they have to offer is more of the same or a concentration camp, and neither choice is acceptable.

No, you do it because you’re a weaksauce milquetoast coward who goes after the weaker party in a confrontation because you care more about avoiding conflict than you do about what’s right.

And you’re alienating all of the pro-Palestine people who want a third party, and literally anyone else who wants literally anyone else in office other than those two cretins.

It won’t kill you to support something different instead of being a cowardly little weasel for once in your life, I promise you.

So it would seem.

What a disappointing state of affairs.

That’s the sort of thing we eat down here all the time. What’s wrong with fried plantains? Oxtail is kind of hit or miss, but if you know someone who can cook it well… 👩‍🍳😘 Truly divine. And who hates marinated pork? It makes the best tacos.

And you can’t enforce ANY rule without protecting your people against bad faith arguing. It’s a foundation of ALL communities, whether explicitly written in its guidelines or not, because meaningful debate is the foundation of ALL human interaction and is primarily what abuse and harassment is.

The needs of your people are more important than your laziness, selfishness, and unwillingness to do your job. Don’t like it? Step the fuck down. You go find a different community to play king over if you don’t like it.

Then what good is your moderation? The whole fucking point of having you around is TO police bad faith arguing. That’s what mods are for

Either you’re doing a good job of playing along or I am actually hearing about something legitimately worse than the abuse I suffered as a child. I don’t know whether to give you kudos or sympathy.

Blinding stew isn’t actually real. It’s the fact that people apparently would use it wholeheartedly, on children, that’s horrific.

That’s exactly the sort of thing you don’t want your kid remembering. All it will do is foster in her a vengeance against you, and she would have a pretty legitimate grievance. Who blinds a child, no matter how temporary?

I need to read Lord Of The Rings again. That was beautiful.
