    Look, I’m done arguing about it. I made my point, you made yours, we both agree it’s pointless. Neither of us came in with the possibility of being convinced, and that isn’t going to change with more arguing.

    I will in fact pull the “we both said mean things, say sorry and make up”

    You don’t have to say anything. You can keep being angry, I have already gotten you there and I apologize for that. Doing this now I’m sure will just make you even more mad. But please understand that I get your anger. I share it. We are closer than we are apart. We share the same goal.

    Have a good night friend.

      If you truly considered them a friend, then you would listen and take their words to heart. You would reconsider yourself and do some much needed self-crit.
      Get off your high horse you smug piece of shit. You’re not fooling anyone.

        I already said that I didn’t come into this conversation with intent to be convinced. Apologized for that, and tries to disengage on good terms. Call that a fucking high horse all you want, I call it recognizing that I am defensive and needing to settle that mindset back to an open state before being able to do self crit.

        That shit takes time and a proper state of mind. Of which I am not in right now. And you instead choose to tell me to die and call me a fascist that you’d beat.

        I am being as open about that as possible, your acting as if for every second I don’t declare I won’t vote for Biden another genocide starts up.

        You kept pushing it. I’m not even arguing the idea anymore. I am just arguing about why will you not let me kindly end the discussion on good terms even after I acknowledged that I couldn’t, at this moment, dissect my entire stance on voting because I had become emotional. Why did you need to keep pushing it towards hate?

        Because I came off as a smug piece of shit? Because I wanted to feel some solidarity with a fellow commie after a disagreement? I’m trying to learn, I have been on a growing journey my whole life. I was a full ass Nazi in a racist ass shit fucking town as a kid and I have done so much to grow past that. All I fucking wanted was to end the conversation so I could think about everything said in a less defensive mindset and feel some good vibes from a peer.

        You ruined that for me. You made me feel like shit, I’m even more defensive, and now got to work through all these bullshit feelings of being a “traitor” in some random fuckers eyes before I can begin even considering what you and others said.

          Not reading all of that.
          Fuck you. If you wanna learn or your feelings are hurt then shut the fuck up, fuck off and do some self-crit where you consider why a comrade might be treating you this harshly instead of being mad I’m not treating you like a person and hurting your precious feelings (I assume this is part of what you are writing, because you people are so predictable).
          Fuck you for belittling me, I know that I am talking to a person, and fuck you for pretending this is some minor disagreement or misunderstanding. You support genocide and you pull Ben Shapiro esque rhetorical tricks in order to reframe the discussion. You do not listen, you do not care and it’s clear that everything you are writing is an attempt at grandstanding - your final shitty strategy.
          Shut the fuck up, fuck off, do some self-crit or find yourself standing side by side with cops and Nazis.

            Slapped em with a 3 day ban so hopefully they take the hint that their bullshit is not welcome here.

            Kinda surprising coming from a lemmygrad poster.

              Yeah I saw that. It’s a pretty good sentiment to express, I hope he takes it to heart.
              Based mods.

              I don’t know if I’ve broken any rules but I’ve been very harsh to put it mildly. I get it if I’ve done something that serves me a ban or the like. I reckoned my behaviour was acceptable considering who I interacted with, but I get it if it ruins the vibes of the place.

                Im no mod but that false version of politeness they and other lib bastids all learn by watching Rachel maddow et al gets my back up so hard.

                And watching people trying to honestly explain the way the world works while they acted both like the adult in the room and a witless babe at the same time was getting me extra riled up.

                They’re a liar, i know it in my bones. I think you took it too easy on them

      You don’t share our anger though! We are angry about a genocide that you want to give passive support towards! Ok? You don’t “get it” at all, and you need to get off your smug high horse and admit that to yourself, that you do not understand why we are mad at you. Fuck off with this faux “I understand really!” bullshit, you’re not fooling anyone except yourself.
