The idea that Trump was a less competent imperialist is very popular here. You are straw manning this to mean, “every person who has every registered an account here agrees with me”. Do you think this is a reasonable way to approach what I’ve disagreed with you about?
Can you state, in your own words, what points I’ve made?
I suppose I am guilty of disagreeing with you, but why this itself warrants a condemnation is unclear.
I’m happy to not continue this particular thread but that does require your participation as well. Throwing barbs on your way out and suggesting I don’t respond is not reasonable.
“Can you state, in your own words, what points I’ve made?”
Okay, you know what? If you’re going to keep editing your comments like this after I reply in order to make it look like I’m not answering your other points then, no, I’m not going to bother.
I didn’t edit my comment… I think that’s verifiable in Lemmy’s metadata and edit status at least used to show up on the web interface before I began using native mobile clients.
How about making up conspiracies of other users editing their comments to confuse and attack you but being hackers in the code who can hide their edits? Saying stuff like “I know it’s you you did this before” to people accusing them of nonsense? That qualify?

Another thing:
I’m asking you to ask 26k users on Hexbear what they think and do some sort of poll before acting like your opinion or viewpoint is the most popular.
Yes, which would be a very silly thing to do and is premised on straw manning what I said. I already directly responded to this, too.
You did not.
I think Trump was a less competent imperialist
Firstly there’s only like maybe 3k actual users here.
Secondly I’ve seen this sentiment expressed enough that I can confidently say it’s not a wildly unpopular idea at least.
“The idea that Trump was a less competent imperialist is very popular here.”
You don’t know that.
Ask the 26k people on Hexbear what they think, each one, or don’t bother trying to convince me.
Did you notice that you didn’t answer my question?
Did you notice that I said I wasn’t going to reply after you tried to pull that trick?
There was no trick…
Yes, there was.

Stop making yourself out to be the victim.
That’s you. You’re the one doing that.

Stop adding things to your comments like that.

I know what I saw.

No they’re not. Stop gas-lighting. I know what I saw.

They’ve done this before.
Prove it.

You are just plainly wrong and making things up. This isn’t gaslighting, it’s you just making shit up

No need for this weird paranoia-jacketing

I disagree that you can call a person “paranoid” for being defensive online. You should not throw those terms around Willy nilly.
