  “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.

      only “accidentally falling into the trap” of supporting Bill Gates

      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.

        “Never believe that anti-Semites are completely unaware of the absurdity of their replies. They know that their remarks are frivolous, open to challenge. But they are amusing themselves, for it is their adversary who is obliged to use words responsibly, since he believes in words. The anti-Semites have the right to play. They even like to play with discourse for, by giving ridiculous reasons, they discredit the seriousness of their interlocutors. They delight in acting in bad faith, since they seek not to persuade by sound argument but to intimidate and disconcert. If you press them too closely, they will abruptly fall silent, loftily indicating by some phrase that the time for argument is past.” ― Jean-Paul Sartre
