Are... are you trying to shame me into agreeing with you? Does the "militant" in Militant Leftist actually mean rageposting and not armed resistance?
Are... are you pretending to stutter in the medium of text because you're too much of a zero to express yourself verbally?
No, they are saying that you're diverting a conversation from who is correct to whether or not your interlocutor was rude to you as a waiver for disregarding the substance of what they said. You can disagree, but presenting yourself as having not been courted appropriately is not going to be taken seriously.
I do actually agree with you that they should speak more gently. Their current behavior is a maladaptive coping mechanism from being inundated with literally thousands and thousands of Redditors who say mostly the same things and won't flinch before likening them to a Nazi or something.
If you can be faithful to my position and at the same time make me look like a stupid baby you could very well convince me through shame to rethink my position.
Are you without shame? Can you not be compelled to change your behavior through the negative regard of others?
Listen, random people on the internet try to shame me all the time. It happens even when I don't interact. But it's no indication if a viewpoint is "correct" or whatever.
Also, agreeing with you about genocides or the events in certain parts of the world or anything is completely separate from supporting you. MLs seem to think that they're one in the same, that anyone who doesn't agree 100% with them are enemies. Even if I did agree with you, black-and-white broad-stroke insults make people not want to work with you.
I specifically criticized you for what you did and you come back whining about 'black and white' and 'broad stroke'
You took four days to respond and your reply could have been to a comment on any topic that you didn't like.
It's like you've forgotten how to interact with the outside world on the most basic level
