For example, all extremists resort to pretty insults when their attempts to derail the conversation fail. They also attempt to brigade anyone they don't agree with into silence but downvotes on Lemmy are completely impotent and leave the extremists flailing pathetically. Extremists are extremists. They have different causes and hate different people but their behaviours are very, very similar and they are very easy to spot.
No dude, this isnt the other guy flailing. You refused to explains your point and instead decided to double down and continue to not explain your point.
Saying extremists are extremists means nothing because extremism can vary from situation to situation. John Brown was certainly an extremist so were the confederates, the difference is that Brown wanted to free people from their shackles while the confederates were the ones putting them on.
Frankly speaking the other guy was making fun of your morally simplistic idea on things and had decided to just make fun of you instead.
Youre worse than the fucking retarded wheraboo who thought a king tiger was better than an Abrams, atleast he put in funnt pictures.
More childish insults. Don't forget the impotent downvote. That's really the icing on the flail.
My point was that some opening positions were not worthy of negotiation. The commenter tried to derail the conversion by being pedantic about different types of extremists not being the same. I didn't bite so he and his limp noodle brigade started downvoting and insulting me. I'm not a weak minded tool so I stayed on message and simply taunted them, as I am now doing you, for being utterly ineffective and impotent.
Be better.
Honey it's not a brigade, you're just wrong. It's not pedantism, you just sound like a fool.
I've been around long enough to know that 10-12 downvotes on every comment in a dead thread with only three participants is a brigade. You can say it isn't but that doesn't change that it is and that anyone who looks at it can see that it is.
"The sky is red, millions of people are dying, and we can save them."
"The sky isn't red."
"No, my point was millions of people are dying and we can save them."
"But the sky isn't red!"
That is the literal definition of pedantism.
My main point was that some starting points aren't worth negotiating. I'm sorry that you missed that. It was apparently clear to most readers. That extremists are extremists is a minor, establishing statement and absolutely true. That anyone is arguing that instead of my main point is pedantic.
Here's the thing...I don't care what you or anyone else thinks. That's why your insults are meaningless to me. You want to piss into the wind, go ahead and I'll just keep mocking you.
I'll be here if you want to have an actual conversation.
You think it's clear to most readers, yet ignore the largest evidence contrary to that and instead try to explain it away with conspiratorial thinking, interesting.
HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHA!
I know you don't ask the question because you didn't actually want an answer. I answered the question anyway. I could have answered down here in this dead thread but no one would see it. Instead I answered in the original comment.
The word vomit in your last comment didn't make any sense at all or have anything to do with anything I wrote. I'll ignore anything that you are any of your circle jerk buddies say unless it's an actual good faith comment free from insults and logical fallacies that materially advances the conversation.
