How this vile, disgusting, and immoral behavior has become normalized in the United States is something our descendants will study in school, to the shame of our generation.”
I wish you knew what the word “our” means, let me try one more time because you are funny.
If you hear (or read) the word “our”, in public, private, on the internet, off the internet, at the gas station, at the bus stop, on your phone, or on your laptop…
…and it doesn’t pertain to you…
The speaker (or writer) is not referring to YOU.
Do you understand?
I mean, ignoring the fact that this is a completely nonsense statement, even by your own logic it falls apart because your [https://old.lemmy.world/comment/21069429](original comment) was:
*You’re both out of control, our parties should be dismantled and dissolved.
Next you’ll be trying to tell me that if someone address you directly and says “you”, they’re not actually talking to you.
Also, your “upvote theory” is a logical fallacy known as “argumentum ad populum”; a theory is not necessarily true just because people think so.
That would be true if my “upvote theory” was “I got more upvotes so what I said must be true”, but as a reminder you claimed:
should you do this in public ANYWHERE on earth, you will be looked at with distaste.
and the upvotes are in fact imperical data that the comment was not looked at with distaste. You should study up on your logical fallacies more, because you do not understand them.
What difference does it make if you were addressing me singularly or plurally? You were still addressing me. You can’t claim that you were both addressing me and not addressing me at exactly the same time. Pick a lane and stick to it.
Yeah but the problem here is you made a huge assumption about who I am, who I represent and which political party I form a part of. You addressed me as such and when I pointed out your assumption was way off, now you’re trying to argue about pronouns and semantics of conversations.
I’ll keep bringing it back to this core point, you made a silly assumption and just can’t admit it. It’s as hilarious as it is sad.
You absolutely did make an assumption because you addressed me directly and started talking about “our” parties, there’s no two ways about it. I’ll keep quoting your exact words here:
You’re both out of control, our parties should be dismantled and dissolved.
There’s no world where you’re not addressing me directly and making assertions about “our” political party here. Everything else is irrelevant and you’re doing a terrible job at trying to save face.
Don’t make assumptions about my assumption. In a thread about US politics and a US President, WE USE PRONOUNS to avoid having to repeat all the desciptors we would need to be exactly correct.

“Pronouns are words used to replace nouns in sentences, helping to avoid repetition.”
If you argue over pronouns, NO topic can be discussed. That’s why civil people never, ever argue with pronouns. Be one of us! ONE OF US ONE OF US.
There’s no world were arguing with pronouns helps anybody, anywhere, at any time, as nothing else could be discussed.
Learn! YOU CAN DO IT
I could take apart each of your pronouns, but I don’t, because look what happens when you challenge pronouns that have nothing to do with you.

You are arguing with the use of POSSESSIVE PRONOUNS.
Please look that up.
Human conversation is impossible without their liberal use. My use was accurate.
No nonsense statement was made. Stop challenging possessive pronouns.
Do you understand?
Should you do this anywhere on Earth, you will be loathed, forever.
Also, you don’t know what “imperical data” means. Understanding is lost to you.
Lastly, “you” is a word that you appear to be unfamiliar with. I encourage you to look it up! YOU can be PLURAL. Not YOU specifically.
What happened to you (in this case singular, not plural)?
Our conversation is a perfect example of why you (in this case plural, not singular only) should never challenge possessive pronouns!
Stop it.
“Our grandma died today…” you “NOT MY GRANDMA”
p.s. oh my god I was wondering who you remind me of and it just hit me… are you JORDAN PETERSON ???
“What does ‘our’ mean?” What do you mean by ‘you’?" and so on. Jordan, get off of lemmy!

Sure I can. “You” can address you specifically AND the position you represent in the discussion simultaneously.
it’s never a “gotcha” to challenge such terms, there’s no “gotcha”. If you challenge pronouns, you will never get to an actual issue to discuss.
The user of the pronoun defines who they were addressing, never the “challenger”.

That’s the rub, I made NO ASSUMPTION about who you (singular) are or what you (plural) represent.
You’re arguing with pronouns, don’t do that.
I’ll keep bringing it back to that core point, which is all that matters. Who YOU (singular) are to me is irrelevant.
Hilarious indeed.
Your correction has been corrected, now go forth and sin no more!
Are you familiar with Jordan Petersen?
I hope and pray that English is not your mother tongue. German, perhaps (this is an educated guess, not an assumption)?

Glad you’ve finally admitted it was an assumption 👍
We can finally put this whole ordeal to bed.
