A møøse once bit my sister. No, realli!

And before anyone thinks this is hyperbole, it’s literally an exception in the article that abolished slavery… “except as a punishment for a crime”.

Aka “have the day you voted for”.

I’m the guy on the right ;)

That’s wrong. The yellow figure is not a rectangle.

And their slogan is literally “we didn’t vote for this” when they voted exactly for this. Not a smart bunch, those.

Exactly, we have a much better, bigger genocieder now, we don’t need amateur hour lukewarm support anymore. Full steam ethnic cleansing ahead! Choo-Choo!

They deny that it wasn’t?

Apt

It was DNS.

The president should look into it!

It’s modern poetry! Can’t wait for kids in the future to study this in class…

Then almost any blatant lie would be gaslighting, which I don’t think fits the meaning. My understanding is there are more necessary attributes for a situation to be “gaslighting”, mainly the manipulation and dependency.

If someone lies about what they said in writing (in the age of internet archive of all things) it’s just a plain lie, and a dumb one at that.

Nice.

No we don’t! /s

How is that not just lying?

Gaslighting (if my understanding is correct) is manipulating someone. Making someone question their own sanity, blaming them, isolating from other people and making them dependent on you.

Lying on the internet to win a stupid argument with a stranger hardly can even start to measure to that.

And it would be a shame to waste such a good opportunity to raise prices by 30% anyway and go “shucks, tariffs”.

I have never seen an online discussion where gaslighting was used. People usually just learned the term and they think it’s a synonym for lying.

Everything is a projection. Now we know how he feels.

Poor Bastards don’t even have their own language, they have to use one they borrowed.
