    Then why are you so defensive when the subtext of comment is pointed out to you.. it's literally what you wrote

      What are you reading as defensive?

      I personally don't have any stakes here (and it's worrying people sometimes have strong attachments to governments), just calling out things where I see it

      It might help if you understand that their writing is not subtext from my comment. It's their own thoughts, maybe trying to (by confusion, or accident, or purpose) attach to me

        I thought you said you knew what subtext is. Subtext is always interpreted by someone else and not the author (death of the author and such). It seems you're not aware what subtext your comments, meaning you have no clue about a wider context...

          Now you're kind of close. It seems that you're kind of aware that they've displayed their own thoughts with the presented subtext, and not mine. Interpretation — as you said.

          As a literary device, sure. Anyone has the right to their own interpretation. Of course I can say that in relation to what I say and mean, all interpretations aren't always true.

            Ofc Im aware that it's their Interpretation of the subtext of your comments. It seems that you're not aware what subtext your comments give because if you were youd write your comment in a way that it can't be misinterpreted in the first place. Since you didn't, and since you didn't correct the subtext but defensively dismissed it, its safe to dismiss you as a troll.

              We could go into communication 101, and what is the relation between a message creator, interpreter and the other affecting factors. But it's safe to say I'm not being engaged in good faith if the view is that I should dismantle others' imaginary bullshit.

                  No, don't you get it? Commenting anything on what they've said is just all in that person's head. It has nothing to do with the words that they're responding to.

                  How would that make any sense? Like one person saying something and then a person responds based on what they said? Unheard of. No we're all just yelling into the void. Don't read into this. Its not like we're on a public forum where we should expect orher people to have any kind of response to us
