Calling someone a bot or a shill because they post something you disagree with. It's so stupid. Like even if the person is a bot, would that matter if the point they're making is salient and sourced?
"I don't need to engage with the fact Biden has deported more people than Trump, because you are actually russian. Thus I have no reason to investigate my worldview."????
It's also such a tell. Like the person can't imagine anyone thinking anything other than what they think, so they must not be real people with internal lives. Can't imagine independent thought, literal NPC behaviour.
Especially because it's always the most average of redditor-take-havers that say it.
The question was "what term annoys you" not "what term annoys you that you're sure Lemmy will approve of" (or that a malignant narcissist billionaire isn't also annoyed by).
Nowhere in that question does it say you are free from being criticized for your dumbshit worldview. It's a public forum, you write something, don't get surprised when people respond.
To me it's like if I say I enjoyed the sunrise" and someone says, "you mean the Earth sunrise?".
That's incredibly weird. To me it's like someone saying "I'm trans, and you?" And the other responding "I'm cis." Funny how that works.
I'm open to an explanation of a commonplace situation where it's necessary to have a separate word for "is of the gender that matches that assigned at birth.".
See above. Also see: Whenever you need to classify yourself as cis-gender in any survey, form or likewise.
Hahaha I tried to find a way to express your ability to create funny new phrasings, while still sticking to theme of the text (drivel, spit, etc) without being mean. Didn't quite work sadly
Lmao at the fucking audacity to post the most common drivel known to man and then call @UlyssesT@hexbear.net a bot
I could train an LLM on Reddit and have it spit out your dime-a-dozen takes after 5 minutes. I've got no clue where to start if I wanted a machine to spit out his wordslurries.
That's typical though, it's always the most average NPC-types that think they're big thinkers with big thoughts the rest of us haven't heard before. Your type will wander into any conversation and say "heh, but what about [thing everyone knows], bet you didn't consider that!"
and if you get any pushback it's obviously not because people are capable of independent thought - you aren't, and you're so smart!
On top of all that America also just actively persecutes queer people. People will say "oh that's just the republicans" as if that isn't half the country and it's not just the republicans, but a large group of democrats. Then they'll say "oh, but we're not as bad as [enemy of the week]" which funnily enough is actually a whatabouterismerino, but also not really a valid argument if you're saying it's okay to bomb a country if they're mean to queer people. So it's okay to be kinda mean to queer people?
On top of that there's also the fact that some of the US' closest allies are countries like Saudi Arabia, not to mention the many far right anti-lgbtq dictators the state has installed over the years.
On top of that the US has only recently gotten "good" on queer rights. Homosexuality wasn't decriminalised in the whole of the US until 2003 (and we're not talking some weird little forgotten law, it wasn't until a supreme court decision forced several states to finally stop being bigoted.)
At the same time the GDR had decriminalised homosexuality by 1957 and with constitutional reform fully legal by 1968
The GDR did this despite inheriting the nazis legal code (according to a wikipedia source which I will not fact check.)
Would it have been acceptable, nay morally right, for the GDR to bomb the US?
