I’m saying it’s just not relevant to this conversation, and if your first instinct regardless of context is to post that, that’s just not smart. If someone’s post is “Trump is such a great guy” you can post that and follow up, but this main comment was essentially saying “your party’s rhetoric in terms of name-calling is going to prevent an electoral victory”, had nothing to do with Trump, or the Epstein stuff.
If you repeatedly do something, for example poking someone, they will get annoyed. Unless they are completely oblivious to it, that will always be the response from people. In the same way, when you do this repeatedly, it will give someone to some extent annoyance. If you’re getting bitten by mosquitoes and they keep flying around, you will be annoyed to some extent. That is the expected response. Cause and effect.
According to what, people see things collectively according to? Who is the them, you think is being targeted here? It’s people who don’t support a man who hides the list of kid fuckers and those who do. You tried to equate my one action to one person as “poking” when in reality, that’s nots not logical to claim it’s “annoying” because plenty of republican MAGAs don’t get annoyed. Clearly there’s a disconnect there and you’re attempting to claim logic where there is none.
I’m sorry, but the solution to that is to stop supporting someone who is dismantling democracy, not to stop talking about the fact that democracy is being dismantled. It’s completely insane to suggest that we shouldn’t talk about Trump’s authoritarian tendencies to avoid offending his supporters
Yes and you’re not doing this to everyone on that group. You don’t account for the people who do not outwardly say what they feel. “Them” was in general. It is essentially poking. You doing so on the surface without first penetrating the individual, as in regular conversation so you can actually reach the person, is not going to do much.
Nobody is arguing that. I’m just saying the methods to bring up that stuff that I see here are ineffective. About as effective as if you were a Christian trying to convert someone and you just sat there repeating lines and verses on the get-go. There are ways to go about doing what you do, and this isn’t the best way, albeit the easiest.
“essentially” poking according to what? To who, you? That’s not very logical either, you’re essentially defending pedophilia. See how baseless that sounds? Because it’s dependent on what I consider to be what’s happening and not what’s actually happening. One action isn’t poking repeatedly lol. Good false dichotomy.
Poking is a continuous action, I’m not referring to you specifically, but the general of those who do, and it compounds. Also, if your end conclusion is that I’m defending pdf you really need to rethink. Because why is my criticism over a method of bringing the subject to conversations me defending the actions of Epstein?
Your question is not applicable here. I never mentioned being offended as a requirement nor the quantity of individuals offended as a requirement for the validity of an observation. Nor is annoyance always a precursor or symptom of offense. You can notice and observe a pattern without being overly annoyed by it. Have you never seen the occurrence of the photo being used in the same way here?
I mean you are literally yelling to the deaf in many cases. They won’t listen, nor will there be a release until the people holding it feel the least bit vulnerable. Yes, people will be slightly irked, but you are pouring into a vacuum atp. You aren’t going to go far reposting the same image to people whose voices will not reach the White House, at least not from here.
