"Misinformers" "Bad actors"

Do people actually take these terms seriously?

[–] TrismegistusMx@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago (12 children)

They should. "Meet me in the middle" says the unjust man. I take a step forward and he takes a step back. "Meet me in the middle" says the unjust man.

Are you quoting someone or did that pure cringe emanate from your own being?

[–] lucidwielder@kbin.social 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Better way to say it imo, is that you have the extremist on the right expanding at a faster clip than the left. And most people do want to be moderate, they want to believe the middle road is justified & yet it puts them solidly conservative w/o them realizing it.

It sucks it does imo & if I saw equal reactions on the left then I’d call it out but I don’t.

The right has done nothing but contract for the past 150 years. "Conservatives" have continually met leftists in the middle and conserved nothing. In my country even the state church allows gay and female clergy now. I'm not a christian, but that's the perfect example of the Right relenting even in their supposedly most sacred institution (though I suppose the bank has taken over that role for conservatives of the past century). Meanwhile, the Left has expanded at such a rate that the revolutionaries of two generations ago sound like today's reactionaries.

Do you have any value beyond your ability to spew shit?

[–] jonion@kbin.social 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

"Disagree with me!? Life devoid of value!"

Typical heckin wholesome leftist.

Did you disagree with me, or were you just smearing shit on the walls? I honestly can't tell. By the way, I simply asked if you have value. You're the one who answered, "No."

[–] jonion@kbin.social 4 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

All right, I'll put it in as simple terms as possible, as you seem to need it.

I disagreed with that quote so intensely that I couldn't even bring myself to explain why. I just needed you to know that the act of sharing that quote, let alone coming up with it, was pure cringe. Seriously "in this moment I am euphoric"-tier. I mean "the unjust man"... just cmon. It's basically just telling you to be unyielding. Nothing but banal, vapid propaganda that could just as easily adorn the walls of the NSDAP as the NAACP.

"I simply asked if you have value." All right, let me "simply ask" you if colored people have value. Infer anything from that?

[–] TrismegistusMx@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

You don't believe an unjust man would bait a just man into cooperation just to betray him? How naïve.

As for your question, every person has value. I infer that you make race a central focus of your life, not surprising since you've proven yourself to be a shitty person.

[–] jonion@kbin.social 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Of course an unjust man would be unjust. Truly a profound statement. One for the ages.

Good job on the inference. Now I'm just left wondering if you're being purposefully obtuse or just can't help it.

[–] TrismegistusMx@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I'm being obtuse? So I should take a step forward? I can predict what comes next.

[–] jonion@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Touché.

Sorry about the replies earlier, I wasn't in the best mood and I can only look back in embarrassment. You have your convictions and I have mine, and it'll take a lot more than a comment thread to change our respective courses. The least we can do is be civil, and I failed that standard with my juvenile first reply. I should have just said that I think that the concept of "unjust" is somewhat relative and left it at that.

[–] TrismegistusMx@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

I get it. Good on you for not doubling down. I could have been less acrid for my part as well. Hope you have a better day today!
