That’s an article from 2014. You might have missed a couple of administrations.
Hey, what was the name of the VP in that administration? Joe something, Bowden? Beetown? Whatever happened to him, he still in any kind of position of influence in DC?
Counting on my fingers…
There’s the administration I’m talking about… the next one… and then the current one…
How many does a couple mean?
Get a load of that idiot patting themselves on the back like they’re a champion boxer with footwork that makes them untouchable by the likes of you or me
I can’t wait until Russia finally wins this war.
You did fail to follow rule 5 of that community
Rule 5: Keep it civil
There’s no need to treat others with disrespect when you are having a discussion. In fact you make points better when treating others with respect, compassion and kindness.
Maybe another mod can give me their opinion. I don’t believe it matters when it’s an instance that’s been downright hostile to Hexbear from the beginning. Can anyone help me out with this one?
Not a mod, but fuck that; we don’t approach the opps on some Jesus Christ kumbaya shit regardless of where we are. If the opp’s a known hostile why the fuck would you treat them like it’s all sweet?
Sorry I’m old, and I don’t know the meaning of what you said.
The poster above reported for posting about a mod in another instance. I’m still trying to do my best with limited experience. I should probably get on the Hexbear matrix already.
Basically, “civility to the civil and honestly fuck everybody else; especially the people we know aren’t civil.”
shut up nerd
If someone is seriously trying to pull this shit where the US government foreign policy doesn’t have a continuity AT ALL they’re just being a smirking asshole
the argument was over the second they got exactly what they were asking for in terms of citation and turned around and shit on the chessboard
Fuck You tone policing me. I called them unserious.
In fact you make points better when treating others with respect, compassion and kindness.
Seriously, fuck you. I was only uncivil when I told them off for threatening me. Don’t fucking lecture me.
Do you think acting so aggressively towards me is making me take your words more favourably?
I really don’t give a shit.
Okay that’s not true. I’d like you to reread that last bit. Please and thank you.
Ok, have a nice day.
Does it matter if you take them favorably? I think it’s pretty clear that online arguments don’t change the mind of the person you’re arguing with.
Civility politics and tone policing are forms of systemic opression that silence the rightful anger of marginalized groups and those who are understandably pissed off by the inhumanity and cruelty of the status quo. Remaining calm at the sight of the world we live in, treating those who violently exterminate people with respect and compassion, telling people who are tortured with injustice every day to maintain a straight face, these are atrocities in themselves. Your ability to remain kind in this system betrays your privilege, your lack of compassion, your ignorance and your total lack of actual principles.
Or, if you do not understand jargon and need to this to be put more plainly: Fuck off, you bloodless nazi apologist.
