He subverted the will of the union using the might of the government. It doesnt matter what happened after that, as a union man that is the definition of anti worker.

[-] curbstickle@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 2 months ago

I agree, but leaving it out is still lying about what actually happened.

[-] Madison420@lemmy.world 10 points 2 months ago

It's not lying at all, omission is only a lie if it's misleading or nefarious, this is neither.

[-] curbstickle@lemmy.dbzer0.com -1 points 2 months ago

You can certainly make that call for yourself. I disagree.

[-] Madison420@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

I mean it's a fact.... You didn't add context you added an excuse. "Oh it's not as bad because x"

And can't defend your actions either. -10 for childish bullshit.

[-] MiltownClowns@lemmy.world 6 points 2 months ago

How so? He broke a strike. I said he broke a strike. It can't much more factual then that.

Context for a joke? Do you expect context in a Colbert monologue? I'm not sure if that makes it funnier. My point is factually correct. Its a joke, not a new york times article.

I was genuinely curious about your view point. If you lack the convictions to defend your characterization of my statement, and me personally by proxy, then maybe you shouldn't be calling me a liar with such authority.

[-] curbstickle@lemmy.dbzer0.com -4 points 2 months ago

You could read the many, many other comments in the same thread.

[-] MiltownClowns@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago

You directly called me a liar and I directly asked why. This is weasle behavior. Do better.

[-] curbstickle@lemmy.dbzer0.com -3 points 2 months ago

I have explained it numerous times already, why repeat myself?

[-] MiltownClowns@lemmy.world 5 points 2 months ago

I asked you a direct question and in response you called me a liar. You impugned my integrity and I asked you to defend it. You telling me to go through your comment history is insufficient after you impugned my integrity. If you want anybody to respect your position, you need to respect other people. Otherwise, you're just being a dick on the internet. You're not getting anything done. You're not changing anybody's minds. You're just being an asshole.

[-] curbstickle@lemmy.dbzer0.com -2 points 2 months ago

Not the words I used actually.

And as mentioned, already answered repeatedly. Enjoy your day.

Didn't realize you were just a fucking idiot. Sorry for wasting your time. I know you got a lot more work than the average person just to get through the day.

[-] curbstickle@lemmy.dbzer0.com 0 points 2 months ago

Dude, I'm not interested in the internet pissing match where you try and "gotcha". I've repeatedly explained my position, why I believe that, and why the context is important.

As I said. Enjoy your day, we are done.

[-] MiltownClowns@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago

If you dont want a pissing match then stop pissing on people. You're the worst.
