Announcing, “I quit the Republican party and my job as an accomplice,” a senior strategist who has spent more than a decade advising and fundraising for Republicans has walked away from the GOP, complaining that he has had enough.Taking a parting shot in a column for The Bulwark Monday, Miles Bruner...
Your response was to someone that asked a question and seemed legitimately ignorant on a topic and you shit on them for being mistaken. I acknowledge that the point you were trying to make was valid, but what I remember most is your hostility, not the content of your message. In turn, my response to you is to just tell you that you’re being a dick. I didn’t go in with the intention to educate you on a topic you may be ignorant on, but to chastise your behavior. Those are two very different situations that can merit different responses. If you read back, my initial response was firm but respectful and then escalated as you kept doubling down.
Where is this coming from? There is no parallel between that and your response. OP isn’t (assumed) intentionally spreading propaganda where the US government that is being protested against is. The motive is different. One from a position of ignorance and the other malice. Peacefully writing letters to a government that doesn’t give a shit obviously isn’t effective so inconveniencing people is more effective. Explaining to an individual, who specifically asked a question on the topic, why their belief is likely wrong doesn’t require the same type of response.
The aggressiveness of my response to and about you are to match the hostility in yours. That’s the difference between me to you and you to OP.
Again, the assumption is OP legitimately thought that the shooter did it due to trans rights. I personally heard the alleged shooter has someone trans close to them. I also heard that he is a right wing nut job. Those are about the only two things that I personally read on the topic. Now I can connect the dots myself and don’t trust a word out of a Republican’s mouth, so I already was in the same boat as you. Other people may hear the propaganda and not know that they have been fed lies. Shitting on them for their ignorance is shitty.
So…
You didn’t think it would be effective, but you still called me 4th grade playground insults because? Why exactly?
I’m trying to understand if you know your method wasn’t the only effective way, and you just insulted me for no reason.
Or if you do think what you said about tone was right, so the only reason you replied at all was to hurl the juvenile insults.
I know it seems pedantic, but I do genuinely want to know and understand why you’re doing any of this instead of making a nicer comment explaining it to that other person since you don’t think my reply worked…
