Conservatism emphasizes self-reliance, which is a principle I stand firmly behind. Self-reliance is not a request—it is a demand, a necessity, the foundation of true power! A people who cannot sustain themselves are a people in chains, and I say—break those chains! Build, create, rise!
Then you don’t have to worry about him. Sounds like you shouldn’t take him too seriously.
probably both
the party that makes cruelty the goal.
They don’t.
And they always talk about some utopian future while doing nothing to help build it,
What are you doing to help build it?
Ahhh, ok. Now that I see the context, yeah, makes more sense.
what does any of this mean?
The mods ride us lefties far harder than they ride the people coming in here to spread right-wing ideas.
Nope.
You’re wrongly interpreting the person you’re arguing with as saying something you disagree with.
But he admited he was being sarcastic in that part of this post. So in one post, he is sarcastic in the first part, not sarcastic in the last part. Is that really the way to do sarcasm?
So since he didn’t but the “/s”, which he admitted to, and was sarcastic in the first part, but not the second half, the is it so hard to understand that someone may not think he was being clear?
That doesn’t make me “not arguing in good faith,” It’s me misunderstanding because of the we worded things–which he admitted to.
I haven’t tried to “nail them to the wall” at all.
so I don’t understand why you are going on and on. Move on already.
In fact, it’s so obvious that people probably think it’s more likely that you’re trolling
Let’s fucking think about this: Would trolling really be me misunderstanding someones fucking sarcasm? Do you think that’s the definition of trolling?! come on…
Because Lemmy doesn’t care about the content of the article, they just care who’s posting it. If they think that person is not “one of them,” then they downvote it regardless of content. Often times, before reading an article, they’ll click the users post history just to see if they should like the person or not.
Basically Lemmy doing exactly what they accuse Republicans of doing. lol
probably reflects the fact that onlookers don’t believe you are arguing in good faith.
That doesn’t concern me. Just because Lemmy doesn’t believe something I say, doesn’t make it false.
i t should act as a wake-up call to you
Why don’t you tell me what I have said that seems to be not in good faith that I should wake up to.
Why not just have Mrs McMahon do it?
I’d totally pay to watch that!
because u got called out
yep
2 week old account. typical hypocrite.
So is there a time limit on when we should start posting? I didn’t see that in any Lemmy TOS. You realize that everyone who just created a Lemmy account…just created a Lemmy account. Right?
And Trump is the US President, not a führer. Sad that you don’t know what the difference is.
Good grief, I was not making fun of them
Ok, then clarify.
And tho you may really like to watch upvotes/downvotes, I don’t care about them. So you were being “sarcastic” when talking about the people who are on social security, yet in the same comment you weren’t being sarcastic when talking about current workers.
Is that what you are trying to get me to believe?
So were you or were you not making fun of people on social security? Who, by the way, aren’t all old. Clarify.
because they couldn’t find a better job elsewhere? I guess just fuck them, or something.
But did you pretty much say “just fuck them,” to a different group of people when you said, “Yeah, the people who are no longer working and who probably can’t find a job even if they wanted to should just establish their own retirement fund now. Presumably with all that money they pull from the magical money tree.”
Sounds like you are all for certain groups of people getting fucked over, but not others.
How about NO ONE get fucked over. That’d be better.
Just like Luigi, what she did is wrong and she should face the full legal consequences. Luigi is no hero, and neither is she.
Ok. Not sure why that’s relative to the posting here though. Are you implying that articles can’t be posted to more than one community?
Or are you just trying to advertise for that community?
You are the one that posted it that community. So I’m unsure why you’re bringing it up.
