Yeah, there’s no point in engaging with anything you just wrote, because you’re very clearly dedicated to whatever this wonderful and deep narrative is that you’ve crafted. But I will point out one thing you said that’s so very obviously wrong.

All of your ad hominems

I didn’t make any ad hominems. You see, almost every person who has ever cried that in an argument has had no idea what an ad hominem actually is. If I say “you’re wrong because you’re an Argonian, and you can’t be trusted”, that would be typical Imperial racism and also an ad hominem. But if I say “you’re wrong, because your arguments suck. and also, argonians have stinky fish breath”, that would be classical Imperial racism, but would not be an ad hominem. An ad hominem is an attempt to refute an argument by using a personal attack. It is not, as is commonly believed by internet keyboard warriors the world around, merely a personal attack.

Oh, and if you’re going to call someone a nazi, at least make it someone the average person would believe is a nazi. If I was anything of the sort, I personally know three admins of my instance who would not hesitate to ban me in an instant, and one or two of them could probably dox me if they wanted to.
