Comment on Does Lemmy need a fork or a rewrite due to its maintainers views?
Rekall_Incorporated@piefed.social 3 weeks agoThis is some of the most pretentious, ostentatious posturing I’ve read on this topic.
You really think people can’t see through this?
You don’t see the irony in doing the “sophomoric debate club” thing while calling those that disagree with you “Kids”.
“Dangerous trends”, “base of intolerance” or the pompous drivel about “grow my ideas and enforce and dispute them” are almost comical in their tone.
The world doesn’t work that way. This motherfucking internet forum.
Or is this a satire of American style polemics and I got played? 🤣
If it’s satire, then good play.

I am not american and frankly find American style polemics quite hard to understand. Mind me I have quite a few american good friends, and I lived in the USA for a few years too, nothing against USA itself.
But yes Tolerance is at the base of civil life and that’s true even with intolerant people.

I don’t find generic phrases such as “tolerance is at the base of civil life” to be unconvincing, especially when parroted in such an aggressively self-aggrandizing manner.
You either don’t have much life experience (and lack intellectual curiosity) or you’re just grandstanding online.

What if I told you you were arguing with a 14 year old who’s using AI to sound cool?
