    The idea that Trump was a less competent imperialist is very popular here. You are straw manning this to mean, "every person who has every registered an account here agrees with me". Do you think this is a reasonable way to approach what I've disagreed with you about?

    Can you state, in your own words, what points I've made?

      Another thing:

      I'm asking you to ask 26k users on Hexbear what they think and do some sort of poll before acting like your opinion or viewpoint is the most popular.

        Yes, which would be a very silly thing to do and is premised on straw manning what I said. I already directly responded to this, too.

        Firstly there's only like maybe 3k actual users here.

        Secondly I've seen this sentiment expressed enough that I can confidently say it's not a wildly unpopular idea at least.

      "Can you state, in your own words, what points I've made?"

      Okay, you know what? If you're going to keep editing your comments like this after I reply in order to make it look like I'm not answering your other points then, no, I'm not going to bother.

      Stop adding things to your comments like that.

        I didn't edit my comment... I think that's verifiable in Lemmy's metadata and edit status at least used to show up on the web interface before I began using native mobile clients.

                      Alright, you're right.

                      I've had several do it to me, but I guess it didn't happen this time.

                      Regardless, I stand by what I said: he shouldn't be declaring his viewpoints or opinions popular.

                      And they should stop being argumentative with me whenever we interact with each other; the only time they interact with me is to argue and it's annoying, to the point where I wonder if they're trolling.

                      Thanks for hearing me out and being patient with me.

                      Good day. I've already blocked.

                    How about making up conspiracies of other users editing their comments to confuse and attack you but being hackers in the code who can hide their edits? Saying stuff like “I know it’s you you did this before” to people accusing them of nonsense? That qualify?

                        It’s not defensive to flatly deny evident reality in front of their face. They know how edits look, they are a mod and long time site user. Why are they going around accusing people of editing who don’t have edit symbols? Do they think the site is lying to them and in on the conspiracy?

                        How am I the one “jacketing” and not them? They are the ones accusing people of absurd things and dramabaiting

                            When someone is plainly disconnected from evidence and reality and digging into a “it’s not me it’s literally everyone else gaslighting me and attacking me and persecuting me” mentality there’s really not much other explanation

                                I’ll be real, I just don’t like Pluto and took the opportunity of them being a fucking weirdo to dunk on them. It makes a lot of sense why he’s always complaining about the “Nazbols” taking over hexbear and taking over his org and taking over the internet, I will just say that much

                                  The only issue was the ableism (using mental illness as a dunk or insult is ableism). I wish we had a word for paranoid that didn’t have those implications but we don’t.

                                      Sure you didn’t bud. I count two.

                                      Either way, I wasn’t the one who originally removed the comments, I simply agree with the removal. The ableism on this site really should be the next great purge. If only we had a TC69 figure to spearhead it.

                                        that was in response to them saying it, i was quoting them. I guess I did say the word technically, but I didn't bring it up

                                        it's zed proclaimer, don't know who this "z poster" is but its just an smear word like "tankie" or "nazbol"

                                          I was wrong, went ahead and reapproved them because, in my personal understanding, fault would lie with the first to introduce the term. I’ve been a bit on edge with all the ableism lately and jumped the gun after checking the mod log and seeing “it still going”. Apologies.

      "The idea that Trump was a less competent imperialist is very popular here."

      You don't know that.

      Ask the 26k people on Hexbear what they think, each one, or don't bother trying to convince me.

            I suppose I am guilty of disagreeing with you, but why this itself warrants a condemnation is unclear.

            I'm happy to not continue this particular thread but that does require your participation as well. Throwing barbs on your way out and suggesting I don't respond is not reasonable.
