We all know the real bad guys are those dastardly PMCs of no specific nationality, who are also not aligned with any specific nationalities.

I’m not sure they’re the one misunderstanding.

You should be more careful you jizz cock! You could have had my legs off you piss kidney!

He thinks he stopped 8 Wars PLUS!

I’m sure I read some suggestion of charging her with felony murder; as in she committed a felony (anyone’s guess what that would even be) and as a result her wife got shot, which somehow makes it her fault.

And doing his own sound effects.

Agreed. Imagine having arguably the biggest piece of media going, with endless potential for merchandise, spinoffs etc. and deciding to just rush through the end, ruin any lasting legacy, and cost yourself future work. And for what? The hope of moving onto the next project sooner? The next project that you were then let go from due to the colossal failure of your last project. It’s fascinating in a way.

And yet there are no democrat riots. Despite things domestically being arguably worse than they ever were, at least in multiple decades, there are no democrat politicians inciting riots, no supporters storming the capitol with gallows.

So I’m going to stick with the argument that both sides are not the same, and that one is orders of magnitude worse. That doesn’t make democrats ‘good’, but there is no good faith argument to be made that they are ‘the same’.

I defended nobody, I mocked you trying to argue that republicans and democrats are the same, because that is demonstrably untrue.

Sorry, who’s my party?

Ooh, tell us more about how both sides are the same!

Why would anyone have to be a target‽

If only there was that level of self-awareness. TDS is used by his supporters, to suggest that the only reason people say anything negative about Trump is a delusional hatred of him, rather than, you know, the mountain of evidence.

Every accusation is a confession?

I’m going to be honest, I have no idea what you’re on about now. You said something happens, I offered a potential theory, you can take it or leave it. Based on this thread alone, I’ve seen you responding aggressively to people entirely unprompted, and accusing them of saying things they haven’t. I’m not sure how much more productive conversation we could have, I’m willing to try, but I think the best shout might be to just draw a line under things there.

I think it’s probably contextual, the single word insults might fit better with the thread they’re in. But here, you’ve waded into a thread on a specific subject to insult and berate people for (supposedly) not being excited enough about a different subject. And then respond to anyone trying to give you feedback by accusing them of not being excited enough about that other subject despite them saying nothing about it.

I’ve heard that ‘lots of people’ are saying it.

Hard disagree, I’ve not seen a single person disagreeing with your points, only with the way you’ve raised them. Nor have I seen anyone express displeasure about the VA results, despite you talking about how ‘they’ are downplaying it.

In the interest of not stoking more argument, I would urge you to take a moment to read and parse the responses you’ve got here, and see if they natch up with what you think people are saying to you.

I might hazard to guess that some of the down votes are because of the aggressive tone you took, it doesn’t exactly invite a friendly discussion. I appreciate that politics are a charged subject at the best of times, but I think the anger needs to be channelled more effectively, maybe now more than ever. Which is to say that I fully agree with your statement about needing to avoid division.

The unfortunate trouble with written communication, where you can’t pick up on tone as easily. I’m not a fan of using /s, as I think it takes away from the comment, but I can see how it can be helpful to avoid misunderstandings.
