Sometimes I like to cruise the politics sub so I can drive by downvote libs and report them for breaking their precious civility rule, and honestly, I’ve gotten a decent amount of them banned for it, which is hilarious.
That is all
Online discourse has gotten considerably worse since libs discovered whataboutism as a way to avoid examining any potential inconsistencies in their worldview
I wish libs would stop pretending they support free speech
Nobody really supports free speech for their political enemies, but libs are the only ones sanctimonious to pretend they do
Do they pretend to support free speech for their enemies? Or do they pretend that the people they support free speech for are their enemies?
I saw one the other day talking about how the Nazis that recently rallied should be allowed to because the poster “fought and bled for this country so they could”. Motherfucker, were you in WWII? No? Huh.
Everyone loves to pretend they’re open to debate. Nobody wants to admit to being closed minded. You need to be receptive with a well-rehersed rebuttal.
But this invites sea lioning, which everyone agrees is obnoxious. So the argument eventually becomes “I’m up for informed debate, but you’re not engaging seriously.”
That’s where all this stuff ends, and it illustrates the limits of any discourse.
echo chambers are like that, they cant handle anything other than smooth brain concepts.
Whataboutism? What about deez nuts?
Things I’m gonna have to start stealing
Getting libs banned? I think it’s hilarious
Also, I love the idea of them being forsaken by their echo chamber and I love when their precious rules can be used to bite them in the ass. Yes, it’s petty, but I don’t care. I’m usually just standing in line somewhere or on break at work when I’m doing it
