No? What did I say that made you think I'm a trump supporter? I'm criticizing folks for celebrating harm coming to their fellow Americans.

Mostly it's the regurgitation of radical propaganda.......

No? I'm honestly not sure I understand your question about the civil war.

The civil war parallel was made because you are parroting propaganda that's been endemic in the South for the last 150 years. That the war wasn't about slavery, that the North just hated rural people's culture.

The parallel throws me off because the point I'm making is Dems are maybe not "just as racist" as Rs but the fact they're proving latinos were seen as pawns to be used when the Dems platform was basically everything Rs wanted while Trump was in office (minus family separations.

Ahh yes, because a minority of of internet strangers have some bad takes, the two parties are basically the same.........except for the little caveat of family separation and interment camps thing, and even though Trump's main campaign promise was to immediately deport everyone he can.....

There's certainly parallels to the civil war, the Northerners absolutely did not like it when free black American citizens first started to move there when fleeing terrorism I'm the South.

And how is that a parallel to modern times? Pretty sure there were sanctuary cities all over during Trump's first presidency.

That's how we got red-lining and the modern for-profit prison system.

You're talking about two separate times in history separated by a hundred years of lived history. After the civil war, before conservatives torpedos reconstruction, black Americans actually gained a lot of economic and political power. Redlining and the modern prison system were a reactionary response by conservatives to desegregation.

I am absolutely not doing what you're saying. Let me know how I came off that way. I'm trying to be as specific as possible here. People that are celebrating bad things happening to their fellow Americans. Stop. That's it. That is gross, to me.

You just so happen to be parroting several different pieces of propaganda used to falsely equivocate the both sides argument popular among accelerationists and radical conservatives...Interesting.

Our people didn't vote. Because of that we celebrate latinos being deported?

Who is our people?

Wish this could be a light conversation. This is truly not that serious. It's a chat on fuckin lemmy (imagine this place is huge one day. lol)

I wish we could just have a light conversation about the fascist said the German to the Jews......

It's almost like even tangentially supporting fascism isnt a light hearted conversation?

Show your true colors y'all! Finally, you can stop pretending you truly care about struggling Americans that don't share the same values as you

By values, you mean supporting a violent and openly fascist political party whose main goal is to hunt migrants to deport?

Hopefully we can at least admit rural folks are absolutely correct in feeling like we hate them.

Lol, is that the same logic you apply to the civil war? The North just hated the South for their rural ways?

I wouldn't agree with what the person you are responding to says, because I don't think anyone deserves not be ripped from their homes. But I can understand why people would wish unpleasant times to people who voted to do exactly that.

Falsely equivocating all of that down to, "hating rural folks" for their country ways is inaccurate, ahistorical, and highly reductive.

I don't understand what you're saying. I'm trying to do the exact opposite of celebrating anyone's misfortune. That's kinda gross, to me

Oh please, the specific criticism you brought up unprovoked has been repeated nearly exclusively by leftist accelerationists who are too busy virtue signaling to even bother to participate with electorial harm reduction.

Understanding that people regularly vote against their own interest and then gleefully celebrate them doing so........ You are also sounding real fucking evil bud.

Growth doesn't mean revenue over cost anymore, it just means number go up. The easiest way to create growth from nothing is marketing tulips to venture capital and retail investors.

I think you mean to say, my "feels" are based on justification!

Is English your second language?

Btw abortions rock, I'm responsible for my fair share,

I dont think that's the brag you seem to think it is?

but I think using clickbaiting as a weapon is bad, even when it's for good causes

You haven't explained how you think this is click bait........ Something doesn't automatically become click bait, just because you think it's over an excitable topic. That would make all headlines click bait, based on the subjectivity of the observer.

"something (such as a headline) designed to make readers want to click on a hyperlink especially when the link leads to content of dubious value or interest"

There's a reason we have the Jenova Convention, after all

Lol, it's like I'm talking to an AI that's done way too many whippits.

The geneva convention, is an agreement pertaining to how soldiers interact with civilians during times of conflict. It has nothing to do with what we're talking about.

But your "justification" is based on feels......

The article goes into great detail supporting the substance of the title, meaning it's not click bait or manipulation.

You are the one attempting to manipulate people by claiming that the title is something it's not.

[–] TranscendentalEmpire@lemm.ee 0 points 4 weeks ago (5 children)

Lol, you can't confirm it's click bait unless you read the article.....

None of your critiques are valid, as the substance of the article is congruent with the messaging in the title.

You're just being lazy.

[–] TranscendentalEmpire@lemm.ee 0 points 4 weeks ago (7 children)

Yeah, I could, but it's a perfectly valid line of conversation to critique a post's title.

I don't think laziness is a valid line of criticism. I also find it strange to critique a title separate from its intended context.

we have the saying, "Always judge a book by its cover, and judge a response by it's grammar"

I don't think that's a very common idiom. It seems to imply that pedantry is more important than substance.

You could always read the article......

Yep, the old hot pan cold oil technique you use with a traditional woks works well with cast iron, carbon steel, and stainless steel.

You basically get the pan as hot as you can, coat with enough to cover the pan with a thin layer of oil, and heat until smoking. Dump out your hot oil and add your cold oil and then your ingredients. If you get good at hot pan cold oil you can make just about anything nonstick.

Yeah.... It kinda seems like he planned to amputate his penis before hand and was utilizing the shrooms as a diy analgesic.

I don't have any history of psychosis, but I have been dosed with too many shrooms before. In my experience, getting from under my blanket of fortitude would have required more mental acumen than what the mushrooms permitted.

I don't think I could have thought to apply a tourniquet, or remember to put my dismembered penis in a jar of ice unless I had prepped everything before the stuff kicked in.
