I don’t agree with the opinion that he’s a fascist. As I’ve already said. I’m not sure why you keep pressing the point. You’re not going to change your mind. I’m not going to change my mind.

You have the right to your opinion. I have the right to mine. It’s ok that we don’t agree.

You are telling other people they’re wrong for calling him a fascist, which by the way- is an opinion they are entitled to.

I’m saying I disagree with that opinion. They are entitled to their opinions (as I have often said) and I am entitled to mine.

I am somehow mad

Good point. I shouldn’t have assumed you are mad. Apologies.

Heads up: you’re not a victim here.

I’ve never said I’m a victim. It’s a Lemmy discussion about a news article. It’s not that serious.

They’re just holding up the mirror, if you don’t like what you see- that’s a you problem.

I’m fine with my reflection, thx.

If you want to say he’s not a fascist.

I’ve already said several times that I don’t think he’s a fascist. You haven’t blown any wind out of my sails. I’ve told you specifically that I don’t agree with your opinion that he’s a fascist.

If you don’t like this. Then maybe this community isn’t for you.

I’m fine with this community. That’s why I post here.

I don’t think he’s a fascist. And there is nothing wrong with me thinking that. Lots of people disagree with you and that’s why he’s president. You can be as mad as you want.

The fact is, I don’t share your opinion. Accept it. You haven’t changed my mind. He’s still president. And people are allowed to post news articles about him. Even if you hate him.

Those are facts. Move on. You’re just repeating the same thing over and over. You’re not going to change your mind. And I’m not either. It’s ok. Move on.

He is one by his actions.

In your opinion. Not everyone shares your opinion. You have a right to your opinion. I have a right to mine.

I sincerely hope this puts an end to your bad faith attempts to stir up arguments

I’m not attempting to argue. I’m saying that just becuase you and most of Lemmy have an opinion that he’s a fascist, doesn’t make it a fact. I’ll wait for AP News or Reuters to say that before I believe. thx

I don’t believe Trump is a fascist. ap news and reuters don’t call him a fascist. I get that you think that. That’s your right. Just as it’s my right to disagree with you

If it talks like a fascist, acts like a fascist, hunts minorities and abolishes democracy like a fascist, its probably a fascist.

Agreed. But Trump doesn’t do those things

I’m not “pretending” though. I don’t believe he’s a fascist.

But they’re not fascists or nazis

I don’t

Ok, then why

I asked a question. there is nothing to lighten up about because I’m not upset

because they don’t like my username. they don’t care about facts, they care about making a point for fake internet points

Ok. Not sure why that’s relative to the posting here though. Are you implying that articles can’t be posted to more than one community?

Or are you just trying to advertise for that community?

You are the one that posted it that community. So I’m unsure why you’re bringing it up.

Then you don’t have to worry about him. Sounds like you shouldn’t take him too seriously.

probably both

Ahhh, ok. Now that I see the context, yeah, makes more sense.

what does any of this mean?

You’re wrongly interpreting the person you’re arguing with as saying something you disagree with.

But he admited he was being sarcastic in that part of this post. So in one post, he is sarcastic in the first part, not sarcastic in the last part. Is that really the way to do sarcasm?

So since he didn’t but the “/s”, which he admitted to, and was sarcastic in the first part, but not the second half, the is it so hard to understand that someone may not think he was being clear?

That doesn’t make me “not arguing in good faith,” It’s me misunderstanding because of the we worded things–which he admitted to.

I haven’t tried to “nail them to the wall” at all.

so I don’t understand why you are going on and on. Move on already.

In fact, it’s so obvious that people probably think it’s more likely that you’re trolling

Let’s fucking think about this: Would trolling really be me misunderstanding someones fucking sarcasm? Do you think that’s the definition of trolling?! come on…

Because Lemmy doesn’t care about the content of the article, they just care who’s posting it. If they think that person is not “one of them,” then they downvote it regardless of content. Often times, before reading an article, they’ll click the users post history just to see if they should like the person or not.

Basically Lemmy doing exactly what they accuse Republicans of doing. lol

probably reflects the fact that onlookers don’t believe you are arguing in good faith.

That doesn’t concern me. Just because Lemmy doesn’t believe something I say, doesn’t make it false.

i t should act as a wake-up call to you

Why don’t you tell me what I have said that seems to be not in good faith that I should wake up to.
