Comment on Facebook Cybertruck Owners Group Copes With Relentless Mockery

• nyctre@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago

  Hey, so I’ve got no horse in this race and also not a native English speaker so please bear with me.

  To me the op’s statement sounds ironic, but not really a projection. According to google, to project is to unconsciously attribute your thoughts/feelings onto someone else. Like if you’re having an argument and you’re losing and as a self defense you claim that the other party is angry and or unreasonable or whatever.

  In this case the cybertruck owner says the guy shaming him should be shamed. He doesn’t realise that it’s him who should feel shame, so it’s ironic.

  Am I missing something? Or was it all just some joke and I’m just overthinking it?

  “You have to be trolling” is rather in the same category as “do your own research”.

  You’re just not able to verbalise what you meant, because the original person didn’t mean anything and was using buzzwords to appear smart.

    You can not even keep the person you are replying to straight. You got called out for a bad take and now like some sort of american having a tantrum until someone tells you how smart and right you where/are.

    Best of luck!

        I find it rather funny to mock people who use buzzwords to pretend to be smart.

        Oh the irony.
