  Saying that people are licking boots “accidentally” by calling out and refuting misinformation is not notably better than saying that they’re licking boots intentionally. “I should be able to say whatever I want about this country, true or not, and if people push back, they’re accidentally licking boots” doesn’t become ok because it includes the qualifier “accidentally.”

  If I’ve misinterpreted you, you’re welcome to explain what you meant. Or to drop it in favor of my other points, which you seem to be evading.

    “I should be able to say whatever I want about this country, true or not, and if people push back, they’re accidentally licking boots”

    Who is saying that?? 😅 If you in the process of clarifying something start overreaching in the wrong direction, you’re giving them leeway they don’t deserve. It’s simple, dude. I’ve seen it happen with people denying and downplaying horrible shit. Just like you want people to not overstate their actions, I don’t want people understating them either as I’ve seen some people do, on purpose or not aka “accidentally”, or as I’m thinking it, “sin querer queriendo”.

    That’s the whole reason I’m telling you that I agree with you and that we’re fucking splitting hairs.

    Loved the absurd tangent though, but I guess we need focus and surgical precision when it’s my turn to answer, huh.

      This is like an antivaxxer trying to be generous by saying that maybe pro-vaccine people are only “accidentally falling into the trap” of supporting Bill Gates’ demon army or whatever.

      I’ve already established that you included the person you responded to as being part of this group of North Korea defenders for simply refuting misinformation. Rather than saying that people like that “accidentally falling into a trap,” how about considering the possibility that they’re right and have good reason for saying what they do?

      Now you’re even backpedaling, like “maybe” their accidentally falling for a trap, maybe they’re outright foreign agents, which we can tell because they had the audacity to refute misinformation.

        It’s like I say things and they don’t even register. I’m so done with you trying to pull shit shit by arguing in bad faith and rehashing what was already said. I’ve been consistent in my answers and now you’re doing some other shit. I can’t with you Lemmings sometimes.

        If you need clarification, I probably already gave it and you took it some other way. Go have fun with someone else.
