I would really rather that these were actual examples, and not conspiracy theories. We all have our own unsubstantiated ideas about what shadowy no-gooders are doing, but I'd rather hear about things that are actually happening.

you said downvotes makes someone rigjt, i said someone sayinf racist shit grtring downvoted disproves uour point and you called me racist. you strawmanned cause your argument is nonsense

No, I said the fact that people are downvoting is indication that a lot of people here believe nonsense because downvotes indicate disagreement. People downvoting racist shit would mean people disagree with racism, which is good and normal. Thanks, for once again illustrating your utter lack of capacity for critical thought.

  1. 'RACIST REMARKS a lot of people disagree with this'
  2. people end up disagreeing with remarks
  3. 'holy shit theyre a genius'

you dont just get to make a shit point and then compensate with how 'people are sheeple so theyll disagree'

[โ€“] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

not all criticism is a form of projection, all calls of projection are a form of deflection
