Reading your post history isn’t stalking mate

Won’t someone please think of the billion-dollar megacorp’s lost ad revenue!

Lol

Mate, your empathy can’t be that balanced if you’re wishing that on someone even if they’re a fucking monster

You’re happy to describe inflicting horrific acts on another human but too afraid to type “raped” on the internet? Stop watching so many revenge movies, this kind of mouth-frothing virtue-signaling comment makes the world a worse place.

I wonder if yougov gave any description for what each one meant or if you just got a single word to go with. If it’s the latter then I think the results are a lot less meaningful, I’ve discovered on Lemmy that people furiously disagree about what the word “liberal” means!

This politics lark is a bit of a head-scratcher, eh?

I read a good quote from nearer the election that “the British people tend to vote parties out rather than voting them in”. I’d hope Labour are clever enough to realise that people wanted rid of the Tories and they happened to get in because of that!

I hate that it’s apparently the edgelord opinion to think bringing a child into a world where they will suffer is a bad thing. Anyone having a child is either a victim, an idiot, or a sociopath.

Does the USA just let anyone become in charge of large areas of the country? Like you don’t need to be an elected official or anything?

Were they dumb?

Yes.

I’m assuming the person you’re imagining to be objectively bad is either literally Hitler or a skinhead neonazi with swastika tattoos and a history of violence, right? What about people who joined the Nazi party because the alternative was having their lives destroyed, or the kid with a bad home life who was radicalised by a gang of thugs who are his only friends? They’re both fascists and victims of fascism, where do you draw the line at who should be killed?

Obviously most people agree that WW2 was justified to stop the Nazis conquering the world, but you can’t just say “it’s OK to kill someone because they’re X”, because then you just need to label whoever you dislike as part of that out-group and suddenly you’ve justified killing whoever you want.

It’s never fine to say “it’s fine to kill all X”. You need to stop fascists, but you can do that without fucking killing anyone you’ve decided is evil.

they are when the folks they killed were fascists

Ah but it’s OK because the people I killed were all baddies!

Well the other thing is that it’s very difficult to instantly tell from a pseudonymous internet comment whether the writer is a normal person up for a civilised discussion or a troll just looking to wind people up. And no offence, but you sounded pretty pro-brexit so not unreasonable to suspect you were a troll!

Sealioning is a type of trolling or harassment that consists of pursuing people with relentless requests for evidence, often tangential or previously addressed, while maintaining a pretense of civility and sincerity, and feigning ignorance of the subject matter.

Whether or not you’re intending to do this your comments do come off a little bit like that. I don’t really like the term that much as people often use it to dismiss any further discussion, but it could be why the other commenters don’t want to chat.

Looking at this and your other comments I think they just don’t want to engage with the sealion

Well when you give a shit about the environment and then you hear about people doing something incredibly wasteful it winds you up, you know?

Lots of people taking you up on your username 24 hours a day, eh?

Are they children who don’t pay the electricity bill, selfish energy wasters, or just idiots?
