We've swung the pendulum too far to the other side. People are being too gentle and diplomatic. We've forgotten part of why bullying works. Some people need to be chased away from the discourse. We had to chase so many people away to get the community and the vibes we have here now.
People like that I posted here should not feel comfortable acting like they are right now. They should be bullied to the point of silence for the sake of those around them, an for the sake of themselves becoming a lurker and hopefully acculturated to the community they've just joined.
Oh, you communists posted an entire wall of details well sourced analysis that names names and specific events which refutes my entire belief structure? SMDH literacy is such a communist scheme I am misusing a text to speech program to write this i have never comprehened a word in my life to protect me from the lies of 1984 no food big spoon tanks famine sparrows communism!
Importantly this was deployed in a reply to someone calling them out for completely ignoring a cited argument. The "strawman" here is saying something went over their head.
And why do these debatelords only ever reflexively invoke the same one or two fallacies all the time? Where's the love for equivocation? The non sequitur? The composition fallacy! Lord knows they have enough experience with that last one
I used non-sequitor! Dude was trying to compare the situation in Ukraine to the Palestinian crisis, saying that if Russia was justified in invading Ukraine (which was not my arguement) then Israel was justified in occupying Palestine!
They of course rejected the idea that it was a non-sequitor and continued posting bizarre things.
Guilty. I have engaged too many people in good faith only to have my good faith thrown back in my face covered in poop and pee and things less definable.

Feel free to bully me if I'm wrong.

Reddit bingo:
Uses debate terms incorrectly
Smug

Baseless accusations about his opponent's personal character
Cringe

Maybe you'll get crippling depression and doomerism if you keep winning the bingo!

Wait, didn't Palestine hold the area before (current) Israel? I'm terrible at modern history.
Looks like an uncle and nephew shidding together.
