you, personally, are saying indefensible things, regarding this severe looming threat

What? Such as?

Friend, your anger and attitude suggest that you probably should block this community. It’s not worth it to get so worked up over a fucking Lemmy community that you can just opt out of.

All I said was that RFK hasn’t been put in charge of anything yet. And I have no idea what will happen, so I won’t make a judgment until something does.

That’s not “aggressive apathy.” That’s common sense. We don’t even know if he’ll actually end up in the position.

I didn’t vote for Trump, nor did I vote for his administration. But I’m still not going to jump on the “holy shit, the world is gonna end!” bandwagon.

I have a wait-and-see attitude. I make no apologies for it. You disagree, and that’s fine. But to say that I’m being aggressive in this thread is incorrect.

Common sense is, don’t drop a brick on your foot. “Common sense” is shorthand for expecting the fucking obvious. That’s what makes it common.

If you put a medicine-denying crank in charge of medicine - that’s gonna go badly, for medicine. Obviously. Pretending it’s ambiguous is actively harmful. It’s tantamount to ‘Nevermind what he’s said and done so far, let’s give this Hitler guy a chance!’ Yeah yeah yeah you didn’t vote for him, I never asked, I don’t care. This is about what you keep saying right here in this thread - no matter how badly you want to project emotion onto me, as a means of dismissing that criticism.

You are promoting sane-washing of a dangerous idiot. You chose this article. You posted this article. You defend this article. Yet when people point out, it’s nonsense, they’re liars, and he’s a loon - ‘oh well, who’s to say, shrug.’ That’s bullshit. There’s no excuse.

lol You are losing it, friend. You got set off by me saying I won’t make a judgment until something happens. LMAO

You need to step back, and go outside for a bit, friend.

This is trolling. You’re labeling repeated detailed effort to explain the problem as if it’s angry, and then using that label to pretend that means it’s irrelevant. Polite phrasing doesn’t make this tone policing any less abusive. It’s still ‘I have drawn you as the soyjak.’

Meanwhile.

Back at the point:

Outside is where this very real and very obvious problem is going to happen. The brick will in fact crush your foot. RFK’s policies will be disastrous, as anyone capable of forming an opinion should immediately know. Pretending it’s debatable would be laughable, but you’re not even pretending it’s debatable; you are insisting it’s undecidable. As if you cannot know what the brick, already in mid-air, may do.

Take your own advice for self-reflection and ask yourself why on Earth you posted this article, if your opinion of it is performative detachment.
