Is there a raffle box where you scolds take out the dumbest possible interpretation of my take? Did I say all we have to do is create a bunch of cringe sock puppet accounts?
Maybe I was talking in generalities and not one specific tactic of the right, maybe I was alluding to the UNCOMPROMISING and RUTHLESS nature of right-wing media and suggesting there could be lessons to learn there for the left
Yeah, the most “obvious” if you dont think about it for more than two seconds
The last three words “against the right” should have cleared up any misunderstanding, but of course the point wasn’t understanding, it was to get a scold in and lecture for the sake of dopamine
But guess what, I’m not some lib who just crawled in from r/politics, you pull that annoying reddit shit on me, I’ll throw it back in your face with interest
I’ve already offered you an easy out. What else do you want? To promise to read your mind or always infer an agreeable position from whatever you write? You are being a bit unreasonable here.
Wtf are you talking about, you’re not even the original user who accused me of “wanting to turn the left into abusive manipulators” or whatever the fuck
If you can’t see how out of pocket that shit was then frankly I’m not interested in your mediation
I think the point is (and I’m really stepping in it here) that you are one of the remaining “bullying works” people on this website and we’re currently, as a website, having a (very slow-motion) reckoning with whether “bullying works” is a) truthful and b) useful. I suspect that’s why SerialExperimentsGay made her comment. I suspect that’s why you responded to her the way you did. I suspect that’s why she responded to you the way she did. I suspect that’s why this whole thread is the way that it is
If that’s what going on then it is what it is, cause I’m not partial to that debate beyond a certain point, even tho I’m somewhat sympathetic to the anti-bullying side, cause there’s been way too much friendly fire on this forum for the last couple years
But my baseline position remains rock solid “bullying fascists works” anyone who wants to tussle with me over that will get my full opposition and contempt
Though in this specific case, I definitely wasn’t the one who started flinging shit
What works for us is very different from replicating the strategy of creating a bunch of cringe sock puppet accounts.

I’d say it’s the most obvious interpretation of your 1 sentence comment. But given your further comments I’ll take that this is not what you meant.
But you can’t be mad that people will interpret “we should do the same” as “we should do the same”.
