Comment on The crusade against Lemmy devs, lemmy.ml, and so-called "tankies"
CanadaPlus@lemmy.sdf.org 3 days agoSo much for calm, polite discussion.
I know what you’re thinking, that’s just tone policing, but it was in OP and is the whole reason I bothered with this thread. Usually Hexbear and friends are against actual conversation as a concept.
Use whatever tone you want, I may just decide not to talk to you, since digital turd flinging is a waste of my time.
You asked if there was anything you said that I disputed. Now you’re complaining that I “ignored” some of your points. Why? That just means that I didn’t see anything to dispute. Usually, I don’t take issue with people, you know, not disagreeing with me.
Ah, so you agree. See, only mentioning what you disagree with was unclear. Maybe you’re afraid to say it explicitly, because you’ll get banned, because “NK is great” is the actual party line.
One of my earliest childhood memories is dressing up as the “great hero” Robert E. Lee to give a presentation on the Civil War, or as we called it, “The War Between the States,” or, if we were feeling cheeky, “The War of Northern Aggression.”
So, that’s racist - and exactly what I was guessing you meant - but it doesn’t say anything about the quality of what you learned about math and reading. I think it’s out of touch that you’d compare a racist school in America to conditions in the third world. Where I have family.
And that’s not even touching on the implication that everyone in DPRK must be some illiterate backwards savage.
Oh no, the elites go to the best schools.

No, I’m perfectly fine with actual conversation. What I’m not fine with is:
bullshit,
lies,
and more bullshit.
You’re utterly uninterested in “actual conversation.” You’re just here to try to score points against a strawman, and to make shit up and argue in bad faith, and defend all sorts of absurd, nonsense positions just on the basis that they let you score points. The fact that you do so while maintaining a front of politeness in no way makes your engagement any less bad faith. Fuck off.
