I don’t answer stupid hypotheticals asked by people in bad faith after they called me a coward.
You lost any chance to have a mature discussion on the topic.
Fine, I accept your forfeiture and loss.
It's definitely proving my coward accusation wrong by running away from an argument you're losing. Sir Robin ran away....
Forfeiture and loss….
Bud, you lost this shit before it started. And don’t think I don’t recognize your troll attempts by the way. Mods love it from what I understand. And based on your mod logs, you’re on thin ice as it is.
Toodles!
Gotta have big daddy mods come ban for you, huh?
Can't handle an argument about - if Dems are shills and if TX lawmakers can even be charged with murder. You admitted Dems are shills. You haven't been able to post any laws that lawmakers could be charged with. You don't like protest because it bothers you. Lol. You handily lost and then tried to turn over the game board when everyone could see it.
Big yawn……
You done yet?
No.
By all means then! Don’t let me get in the way of a person hell-bent on getting themselves banned from this community.
I'm fine being banned if I was standing up for what I think. That's integrity and courage though - do you know what those words mean?
ROFL…. Internet activists…. Hilarious.
Who usually goes off about "social justice warriors" and "internet activists," and why? Why is it funny or embarrassing to be sincere online? Or is it just that you've been fed propaganda so you won't seek education or give validity to people like me? Who does that help? Your corporate pals who literally give us cancer?
The internet is a modern library of Alexandria with enormous amounts of knowledge on it brought to you by "internet activists." Lemmy was literally created by "internet activists."
Imagine being on social media to just parrot status quo opinions, reactionary speech, advertisements, and propaganda. Lmfao oh my. Imagine having a social media where your comments are indistinguishable from a bot because you're too scared to have opinions.
Okay. Feel better?
In general I'm always feeling good :) How about you?
Never better. Have the night you deserve.
Got a vibrator and good weed and food, I plan on it :)
