      people genuinely stupid enough to believe nato is defensive in nature have never opened a history book outside of their compulsory schooling

        In fairness, propagandists write books about history too. It is entirely possible for a person that isn’t very curious to pick up “normie” pop history stuff and think they are learning.

          that is true, but frankly i'm willing to put money down on most people who hold patently incorrect beliefs like "nato is a defensive organization" simply being deeply incurious people who have never investigated anything that's not immediately relevant to their interests

            That’s probably true, but also quite depressing given the prevalence of the deeply ignorant. Hopefully the average person is better than that.

          Self-opinionated

          Self-opinionated

          Is this to contrast with your own opinions which instead of generating yourself, you received from the western media?

          Self-opinionated, aggressive and insulting

          i'm gonna go out on a limb here and assume you live in a house with no mirrors

          i'm not sorry if my statements give offense when they're based in reality. want to be treated better? we already have a special tool for that, it's called "having correct opinions"

            I tried, carefully. What got as a response was self opinionated, aggressive and full of insults.

              So when you have opinions and you express those opinions. Sounds like you're pretty self-opinionated about certain topics because you've chosen to snarkily quote the dictionary.

              1 as in opinionated

              so it's like "irregardless"

              in other words, yes, you're just saying shit

                Among the synonyms: dogmatic, stubborn.

                I think that carries an overall appropriate meaning.

                  you're also "self-opinionated" the only difference is that the opinions you're stubborn about are wrong

                      I was indifferent before, but after this experience I support defederating hexbear.

                      read a book you insufferable uninformed dweeb

                          Maybe kindly point me to a book that is worth reading

                          I'd start with anything by Chuck Tingle. Pounded In The Butt By My Own Butt is the classic.
