this isn't my opponent, i am being sincere except for the line that was obviously sarcastic. i would generally think of people on here as being comrades, but choosing to get combative about norm finklestein of all fucking people is beyond the pale after you've watched a genocide unfold for a month straight. i'm not attempting to be uncharitable, i am making a case that their attitude is generally unhelpful for a leftist political project.
i am saying i vehemently dislike the way you shroud yourself in words and constantly and consistently take the least charitable interpretation of your opponent. i am saying i dislike the way you write a paragraph of ideas and assumptions you have about the person you are arguing with. i am saying i distrust you, especially when you use the word comrade like your opponent is intended to be hurt by your grace.

i am describing the person's rhetoric as i see it, sincerely. do you think that subtext doesn't exist or something? i am trying to be sincere and clear, and thus writing paragraphs. infamousbit has been rude and condescending and short. I answer their questions, they don't answer mine. I answer your questions, you don't answer mine. I think people here are generally comrades. I don't think infamousbit should talk to me like that so I inverted their take back to them. I really fail to understand why you think that's worse somehow than them having nothing to offer but attacks on my person.
if i had better self control, or didn't think you were probably well-intentioned in general, i'd have told both of you all to fuck off ages ago

"How dare you fucking call me 'comrade' when...
... checks notes...
... I have that listed as my preferred pronoun in my profile?"
I read this whole thread with that thought tumbling around in the back of my brain. Absolutely wild.
