Why, though? I’m not actually resentful here - in my experience, I doubt that we wouldn’t get along extremely well in person. Hell, judging by your username its very possible we’ve met. Your doubling down on a position you hold on an internet forum is pretty common; honestly I’ve just been curious how long it would be before you hit the point that you dispense with pretense and we can actually talk.
Escalating this into a vitriolic spewing of personal attacks and rhetoric is par for the metaphorical course online, but I’d like to harken back to the original issue, before it started getting personal, and point out that this started over my insistence that the specific wording of a NYT article headline isn’t as bad as the others. I don’t even disagree that they’re enabling a genocide or that they’re a bunch of ratfucking cop fellating soulless corporate shills - I just think you misunderstood the specific wording in the headline.
Nope, just stubbornly wrong and resorting to mocking what you don’t understand. I don’t want to waste any more time on your bad faith bullshit and before telling you to fuck off, I tried telling you more or less politely and still you persist.
