Not everyone is wrong. But it happens occasionally and then people pile on. I’m guessing it’s just people looking for an outburst.
My comment says “media and memes should stop milking it”. Which is the only thing that they are doing. There’s nothing to discuss. This isn’t news, we all already know he’s a fascist dictator. The only problem is that some people support it. You should’ve started being terrified long ago when he was acting like a dictator, not when he accidentally mumbled being one.
Right, because I learned all this yesterday. I’m the one with a comment that’s downplaying how bad this is. You are explaining to me why a dozen people felt that brushing aside this latest horror deserved blunt objection.
Totally my fault for saying this known fascist “barely mentioned” the end of democracy, in what was surely just extemporaneous regurgitation of what his inner circle constantly floats. I shouldn’t have called people flipping the fuck out, over that actionable threat to the entire country, “milking it.” Glibly blaming “media” is a common dog-whistle and must be why people are “hell-bent on interpreting” shitheel beliefs, as surely as dismissing their plain-English reading of my own words as twisting them through dishonest motivation, by saying they’re “hell-bent” on that “worst possible light.” All made worse by complaining people “make assumptions” by responding directly to my stated beliefs.
I meant something else entirely and used all the wrong words.
My bad.
I wasn’t downplaying anything, after everything discussed, you still insist that I somehow don’t care about what he said.
I would also not complain if people engaged in good faith and were trying to politely convince me that I’m somehow wrong. But instead it was just assumptions and insults. Yes, I’m absolutely not in the wrong for stating my reasonable, but perhaps controversial opinion. It’s the people who attack and be rude who are in the wrong.
But anyway, while we were arguing here media has already moved on to another thing, so all good here. Apparently, he said something like “criminals are criminals”.
I am telling you what you explicitly wrote.
This is what those words mean.
People accurately paraphrasing the egregious parts, and telling you to stop saying that shit, is a common form of good-faith criticism. We’re not “assuming” anything. We read what you wrote. Whatever secrets you keep in your heart don’t fucking matter - we speak English, you wrote ‘he’s just blathering,’ we object. Learn something from the experience.
