angry bro up there just looking for a fight. you gave a well thought out, value-added comment and don’t deserve to be mocked for it.
Comment on recruiting theocracy
radicalautonomy@lemmy.world 1 month agoI’m autistic. On commonality among many autists is aggravation at witnessing unfairness. Furthermore, I can’t stand it when things are don’t finalize (e.g. a puzzle with no discernable solution or a film with an unresolved plot line in a TV series.)
Having to bear witness to this darkest of timelines and being forced to endlessly await its culminating event, the downfall of capitalism and Western civilization (which is absolutely what deserves to happen) is driving me up the fucking wall.

And you don’t understand mocking. Or that I’m not a bro, which is fair since most internet users trend male.

I’m worried that you don’t know what that aphorism means, because that comment made absolutely zero sense whatsoever.

A phrase my guardian used growing up and has unfortunately stuck with me as my initial response, my apologies.
The full phrase I think is “Thats like a pot calling a kettle black” or something like that. And my regrettable and curt response was “we are alike, and reading your comment has upset me in that I interpretated it with the implication that we are not.”

Not quite right. If you get upset that pickpocketed your phone when I know for a fact that you were just bragging last week about having shoplifted something from a store, I might say “That’s a pot calling the kettle black”, meaning “You are being not recognizing that you are being hypocritical for calling out an action that you yourself are guilty of.”
A better phrase to indicate a likeness would be “You are preaching to the choir.”

Pot calling the kettle black is used when somebody is making a hypocritic statement.
