yes, i'm being condescending to a person that is more interested in policing the good from the bad than looking at the good and bad things that are done.
you clearly don't see yourself as infamousbit's comrade, or them as yours, you shouldn't use the word so fucking lightly
well i'm clearly not cut out to be their comrade. seriously, this is an online shitposting and discussion board, none of this is praxis, none of us are actual comrades to each other except for the support and thoughts we can give via words, and the occasional mutualaid post. are you seriously suggesting we should sacralize the word "comrade?" this isn't a fucking religion, a comrade is a person that does stuff with you to support liberation from capital. that's a silly perspective to have about the use of a word. in mandarin, comrade is just the generic name for a lgbtq person. is that using it too lightly for your taste? what makes it ok to say we're comrades?

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.
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 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.
