You're not accounting for people who are restrained from being who they truly are or who they want to be by the perceived consequences until they're intoxicated and don't care about the consequences anymore. Bigots who might only say bigoted things in "safe" company unless they drink too much aren't virtuous people holding back intrusive thoughts. They are bigots who finally feel free to do so.

We draw, somehow, more votes from Trump.

Weird. Who would have thought batshit crazy would also like greedy, hateful, and stupid?

That's a false dilemma. You can oppose all imperialism at the same time regardless of who is pursuing it. Justice and freedom isn't a team sport. You don't have to take the side of any major power.

This isn't Reddit, in case you hadn't noticed.

Do you read fortunes? There isn't enough context in our brief exchange for you to know anything meaningful about me. You really like the shadowbox with straw men.

I'm so mad! This is just awful. Some Dunning-Kruger University graduate is schooling me in how awesome his life is! Make your money writing whatever bullshit you want. Even trolls have to eat, especially when they're bad at bridge guarding. Tell Chat GPT I said hi next time you "write" an article.

Is sealioning mentioned in the rules? I hadn't checked.

I think this is hilarious. I'm talking to someone who acts like a kid who thinks they just invented being obnoxious on the internet.

If you don't want respect then you're terrible at acting like it. People who don't care what others think don't brag anonymously and call randos jealous when they don't know anything concrete about you to be jealous of other than your weak trolling.

I'm guessing if you have an ex-wife, she probably complains about you. This is literally the first time I've commented in this community but you think I'm a regular. You're great at reading people. Keep it up! You'll get there someday...maybe...

I didn't say anything about forum rules. Upvotes are irrelevant. And yes, I'm wasting your time, apparently quite successfully, and with your apparent eagerness too. Keep wasting your time. Keep writing like a middle school kid bragging about how his dad can beat up someone else's dad. I'm sure you'll get that jealousy and respect you think you deserve. I'll just be here dying every second.

Ooh, a rant! "No seriously, guys, I don't care what you think! I'll keep telling you just to make sure you understand! I'll respond again just to make sure!"
