Okay, I hope this discussion has left you with at least some thoughts of your own regarding how you speak about voting.

The same thoughts I came in with, that education is needed now more than ever.

In today’s climate where our civil rights are being eroded, it matters what people say and how they say it.

Which makes me wonder how you can be so smarmy with every sentence that you type. Your people skills leave much to be desired.

. No one wants to parrot old disenfranchisement dog whistles from ya know, the times when they denied black people the right to vote because they lacked an education.

Ahh, we're back to twisting my words. I'll repeat them, so we can ensure that the context lives on: "I’m not saying that we should take away the right to vote from the uneducated. I’m saying we should put more focus into education."

You know, for posterity, since your brand of journalism leans into the yellow end of the spectrum.

And saying “basic education should be a requirement to vote,” is LITERALLY a dog whistle from then.

It certainly is. Good thing I didn't say it. I said that we should make sure that we are educating people along with their rights. Giving people rights and hoping they know what to do with them is how we ended up with Trump in office.

That’s like saying gay people should wear a pink triangle and then acting confused when I take issue with that specific verbiage and idea.

Oh, let me see which logical fallacy this falls into. I'm thinking either Red Herring or Equivocation.

Please consider how propaganda affects all of us and we all may pick up problematic speech from time to time because we live in a dystopia.

You seem to be the one drawing false equivocation and shielding yourself behind an unrelated argument because you know that you have no ground to stand on. But, please, tell me how I'm anti-LGBTQ+, again. I'm sure the second time you say it, it will come true.

People who engage in problematic rhetoric also deserve a basic education in things like civil rights and hate speech right? Otherwise it’s dangerous.

Well, at least you seem to have a grasp on the lesson I am trying to teach you.

Lol, such a random stray out of no where. Also ableism agaiiiiin why

Is this red herring, again? I can't be sure, but I think you either don't understand what I said, or you don't understand ableism. Either way, that ain't me, chief.

I really miss ~2016 Late Stage Capitalism on Reddit and I was hoping Lemmy would have some of those same people. I miss them.

No one is stopping you from making a triumphant return to the cesspool you crawled out of. You can ride a donkey in while they fan you with palm fronds.

So, there now. I've responded to every insipid argument you've made, and nothing you've said can be taken out of context. You are not the person you seem to think you are. You manipulate and twist words to serve your own ends, and people like you are the reason we have a lot of the issues we do. I'm gonna go ahead and block you now, so feel free to have the last word, I won't try to stop you.
