    Both you and MAGA forget that there are other people that exist in the world.

    You’ve spent this entire thread making excuses for Biden’s support for genocide. Gazans aren’t people to you? Have you forgotten they exist?

    Your opponent brought sources and you replied with abuse. As you do. I hope I’ve taken some of the heat so you’re not still abusing someone for being right and bringing receipts.

    I judge ideologies in part based on their results. For example, Republicans are shit because they ban books, are openly corrupt and bigoted, they weren’t up to the task of responding to a pandemic, oppose universal healthcare, oppose workplace safety standards, support abusive police, support things like Uganda’s law that makes homosexuality punishable by death, support cruelty to refugees, support genocide in Gaza, January 6, the list goes on and on. But there ain’t a lot of Republicans here, despite your feigned paranoia that people to your left are actually maga bots.

    There are a lot of centrists here, and centrism should also be judged by its results. Where those results are reprehensible, I will call them such. When an ideology results in supplying weapons for an ongoing genocide, that ideology is morally bankrupt. When the adherents of that ideology reliably make insultingly bad excuses for it and lob abuse at people who provide sources that contradict their excuses, that’s a hallmark of intellectual bankruptcy.

    Now instead of talking about the issue at hand, you’ve pivoted to something you’re far more comfortable doing: ad hominem attacks.

    And when I point out what you’re doing, you accuse me of playing the victim. It’s easier than defending that which you know is indefensible.

        It’s certainly clear that you didn’t arrive at your present positions by reading, yes.

          I read tons. That’s how I learned to not take you seriously. Do you think you’re entitled to my time? That I’m somehow obligated to read your little manifestos and your nonsense drivel where you rearrange my narrative to suit whatever bullshit point you’re trying to make?

          Hilarious!

          Naaah man. I have zero respect for you. And that is illustrated in the fact that I don’t care what you have to say.

          This will be the type of response you’re getting from me from now on… so you’re free to ignore me moving forward.

            Do you think you’re entitled to my time?

            You can stop responding to me any time you like. You can actually ignore or block me instead of pretending to do so again.

            Naaah man. I have zero respect for you.

            I know. I’m not Netanyahu.

            This will be the type of response you’re getting from me from now on…

            It’s the only type of response anyone who doesn’t agree with you 100% on everything can expect from you, if this thread is any indication.

                  Naah. I’ve chosen to not engage with trolls that bait people into arguing. But you do you and go ahead and just me whatever makes you feel edgy.
