… Or you could just read a history book that wasn’t written by a Mao fanboi.

Nah, your weird attempts at persuasion via stilted language

I’m not sure you know what the word “stilted” means.

are real fuckin tiring already and I just joined this conversation.

Ok. Well, you’re under no obligation to post. Thank you for your contribution, though.

Ok, so I guess we can add “poor reading comprehension” to the list.

I did not make excuses for nazis. The person that I was responding to made an incredibly slippery slope argument, and I was using hyperbole to point that out. If you don’t understand that, I suggest you take a remedial class in English at your local community college.

No, I had very good reason to insult them. If you would like to know my reasons, I’m more than happy to discuss it.

So, does that mean that you cannot articulate an answer, or just that you don’t choose to?

Everyone that disagrees with @bucho@lemmy.one is insane and deluded, a bedtime story for smug crybully liberals.

Well, I didn’t say that. You did. And I disagree with it. What I said is that “hexbearians” are generally delusional, and I feel pretty vindicated in that assessment by the many, many posts by them in this thread. As an example of delusion, you decided that you know enough about me to infer that I believe that everybody whose opinions differ from my own must be delusional, despite very little evidence to back that claim up.

Fucking rich that you cry about “combativeness” when you lead with the above post.

Pointing something out that is true is not crying. And yes. You’re very combative.

Uh… how’s that, then? Don’t worry - I don’t work as a road paver.

I agree. Your mods suck.

I’ve seen that in a lot of threads, and there never really seems to be a common definition for what that actually means. Could you enlighten the class?

… Ok. You’ve already contributed several times to the “delusional” pile of evidence, but more is always appreciated, I suppose. Thank you for your eagerness.

Well, that post is actually where I learned about you lot. Granted, I’d heard quite a bit about tankies beforehand, but just never realized how far divorced from reality y’all actually are. Then, I was greeted with a whole horde of absolute morons with such incredibly braindead takes that I felt compelled to ask a couple of them if they had suffered brain damage as a child. It was that question which got me banned, actually. Asking if they had been dropped on their heads as a kid.

And it made me realize that in addition to being delusional, y’all are also generally crybabies to boot.

That’s a mighty big leap there, skipper. The nazis also occasionally paved roads. Does that mean that all DoT workers are secretly nazis, too?

Seriously though, you are the one saying that we are not “sane” because we don’t believe in your liberal delusions.

That is some nazi shit.

See - this is a perfect illustration of the “delusional” aspect I mentioned. You are so far up your own backside that you believe everybody who doesn’t believe the specific set of things you do are nazis, or reminiscent of same. It’s why no sane, rational person should ever take you seriously.

I applaud you, actually. You jumped to provide concrete examples backing up my thesis immediately. Super bro move of you.

Again, an incredibly illustrative example of someone who is both delusional and combative. Thank you for your contribution to my presentation.

Case in point.

For an illustrative example of why every sane person who has had contact with “hexbearians” is exasperated by them, just look at any comment made by a “hexbearian” in this thread. Y’all are delusional af, and combative to boot.

My bad! Another classic. Mel Brooks just does not miss.

Is it fair to say that Mel Brooks movies are uncommon now? Have they gotten old enough that people today are generally ignorant of them? If so, “Blazing Saddles”, “History of the World: Part 1”, “Young Frankenstein”, and “Spaceballs” are incredibly worthy of a watch.

I think that, in the moment, online arguments can feel extremely real and heated. But, then you go out and do other things, and it becomes less and less important over time.

Of course, then you come back and find a notification from one of those morons you’ve been arguing with, and then you’re right back in it. So I guess just practice? Like, just keep reminding yourself that it doesn’t actually matter, even if it feels like it does.

Also, shrooms help. I remember I got into a heated snit with some idiot online an hour or so before eating a bunch of caps. Then, when I was trying to explain what the argument was about to one of my friends, I couldn’t finish because hearing myself explain it became apparent just how ridiculous the entire thing was. I think psychedelics just give you perspective that you’re lacking in your normal day-to-day life.
