Think for a moment on the purpose of that utterance.
Reminds me of arguing with my brother on social media. He’s a fucking idiot but when you say the right things, it triggers something in him and he starts using “ergo” instead of therefore randomly out of the blue.

In his defence, he’s not a scratched lib, he’s a fully out and proud fascist.
E: correction, he’s a “libertarian”.

was happy to exterminate and a lot of them are now fucking fans of hisIs this the type that hates themselves or the type that thinks they wouldn’t get exterminated because they’re One Of The Good Ones™?

That was the joke lol. I did the edit immediately after I made the comment.
Ackshually, it was a full 89 seconds, therefore your entire argument is invalid
Okay but also sometimes I get afraid of being misunderstood and I think a lot of ND people have that kind of experience and a sort of self-protection thing is then being very specific in your language
I get like this too, but i think that’s different than pulling out $10 words to try and win an argument - autistic clarification is its own thing to me - I pretty readily switch to a more formal language if i feel misunderstood so i get it
but also
Think for a moment on the purpose of that utterance.
is somebody trying to win
Oh yeah for sure, this dude is not doing the ND trauma response, this dude studied the blade.
I guess I felt the need to respond to the tweet, which also covered the overly verboseness.This, also I’m just too verbose
but more than that I’ve always liked or had a tendency to fight fire with fire.Also maybe as a kid I wanted to be a lawyer, but that was more due to life reasons
Forsooth

A human being did not post that, that was posted by a fedora that gained sentience.

I gotta be honest, “I can tell you’re assumptive (i.e stupid)” is a solid line and I thought it was written by a hexbear
Spoilers: burden of proof
I’m dead
I’m flat out on the floor

I teach a writing class for (aspiring) scientists, and it is so hard to train some smart people out of writing this way. Some people just think that using big words and complicated sentence structure is the best (or only) way to communicate important ideas. The idea that you should always use the simplest language that will do the job takes a lot of getting used to for certain folks. The way some academics write does not help.
I think it comes back to media, the “scientist” in most films and tv shows will use big words to show how smart they are and these people internalise that idea.
No, it’s mostly because STEM types (including me) have a lot to say (not necessarily insightful) but often lack the writing skills necessary to say them concisely because we focused on studying science instead of literature.
Literary writers who don’t understand science and just make up mumbo jumbo have the exact opposite problem that we do.
Oh ok, I guess I was misunderstanding. And this is clearly your failure to communicate, not mine! /s
I feel like this says a lot about writers lol
Link, this person shows their entire ass all throughout the comment chain lmao
Nope. Trotskyist with some influences from Bakunin. And in case anyone wants to whine against Trotsky, check rule #3 (No sectarianism) .
Is it really sectarianism if it Trotsky and Bakunin though?
I posted a meme about sectarianism and Trotskyism and it spawned a very nice conversation. The general agreement was that light ribbing was almost always fine and it was okay to be a tiny bit meanier to trots because they’re dorks that split the party whenever they can.
I think some light-hearted joking towards one another is expected. Real talk though, I get a little bit fighty and defensive when people start attacking anarchists when it seems out of malice.
I get the feeling lots of threads on that comm will end up just like that.
This is the post all the drama is about. CW for SA and vile apologia thereof.
it’s just them being so mean to me
Funny how it’s always how they start off when banned
Edited just for us lmao
Thank you for posting the link so I didn’t have to. I thought it was funnier without context because the comment itself doesn’t reference anything outside of it
Most well adjusted lost lib
Multiple new site tag lines at once!
So… Now that you have had a moment to think about it, what was the purpose of that utterance? I bet it was great!
Sometimes I think about venturing onto .ml or .world or one of those other instances, then I just see…all of that and don’t bother. The smug redditisms, the trying to “umm acktually” their way out of supporting SA, the paragraphs upon paragraphs of fancy words that say nothing at all. The insane conspiracies about Hexbear…it’s all just so pathetic.
The whole thread, the entire thing that starts with that weirdo apologist getting banned, is an alltimer
classic “iamverysmart”, in that thread, had a sensible chuckle.“The word is ‘gullibility’” killed me lmao
