MODERATORS
I've already run into this today and been accused of alienating "Palestine supporters" for suggesting that Joe Biden deserves a bomb dropped on his head.
Fucking civility perverts...
I'd imagine if one genuinely cares about stopping the genocide they'd be exactly as civil as they'd strategically need to be.
If your excitement in the cancer diagnosis of a old man is more important to you I get why people are weirded out.
Whilst you are bending over to be polite to people, they are responsible for a genocide. But yes, go you for your brave stance with being civil.
So then shouldn't we do everything strategically possible to oppose the genocide?
Why is "we should adopt the best strategy possible to stop genocide" so offensive to you?
Sorry, but you are suggesting that the best strategy possible to stop the genocide is to be nice to the person committing the genocide. Can you explain to me how that helps stop the genocide because I'm clearly to dense to grasp it.
Maybe you could point to some recent examples where genocides were stopped by being really nice to the perpetrators.
No, I suggested we adopt the best strategy regardless of what it is.
You said that even if the best strategy possible is to be nice, you wouldn't consider doing do.
Was being nice to Biden the best strategy do you think? Is being nice to Trump the best strategy?
The best strategy starts with you personally being shoved into a locker for other's amusement
yea sure
It's extremely in character for a blueMaga lib to respond to that question by linking to a youtube clip from a comedy show.
still more serious then you
Lol, you really decided to go with "No, U!"?
The strategically needed civility is zero
Civility is oppression
I wish you luck in the war on manners.
"Manners" are rituals to designed cast out anyone who is "different"
Its disguised ableism
I'm sure you'll be as magnanimous when Trump dies.
I'm sure as well. I don't want the guy to die, I want him to stop doing harm.
If death is how that happens I could take that. If death isn't necessary I'd prefer it.
Ideally we could try people who commit war crimes publicly.
Well good luck trying to persuade people not to celebrate his death in the spaces that are currently banning you for celebrating Biden's.
I'm not going to be trying to persuade anyone about culture war bullshit that doesn't matter.
The original guy was talking about strategy. Is there a strategic reason to try to persuade those people not to celebrate Trump's death?
Then why are you here trying to persuade people to stop celebrating Biden's death?
Poor reading comprehension on your part?
No. And 100% of people who try to fall back on "you just have poor reading comprehension" are acting in bad faith.
83% of statistics are made up. Here's the original comment:
In the scenario where celebrating Bidens death is strategic I actually made an argument pro celebrating his death.
It would require bad reading comprehension to interpret it differently than what it literally says.
Coddling liberals and normalizing the idea that Joe Biden was anything but an evil monster does nothing strategically.
Then my comment argues you shouldn't.
Great, same with the person you were chastising, I'll wager.
