@dinglefritzing@Mantispr3ys Depends what your eyes see.
If it's your X/facebook/etc algorithm, or political PUNDITS, it's not reliable.
None of those claims are even specific.
There was a claim of more terrorism from the left in the past year or 2, but I wouldn't take any stat in isolation.
@dinglefritzing@Mantispr3ys It's a lot easier to evade attention of your initial claim that leftie violence is a significant problem if you just attack a person instead of their argument.
@sleepy_devo I've been noticing for a while now that there's a lot of moronic models of how the world works based on not understanding the difference between "there's no evidence for X" vs "there's evidence that there is no X". It might be an IQ issue, like with hypotheticals.
@dinglefritzing@Mantispr3ys Look in the mirror. You've derailed so far off the drama around a online political commentator, that you're lecturing someone on lifestyle choices instead of tackling your own claim that there's too much leftist violence for there to be proper discourse.
@ContraPoints (I was going to make tasteless jokes, but thought the real issue isn't rape, but jealousy of the rich.)
...Are people naturally jealous of the rich because it's too complex to understand the abstracted value of money?
I recall hearing about the "evil eye" in context of jealousy.
@Mantispr3ys Once in a while it sounds like a DGGer fakes their position to debate/troll Destiny.
I wonder if the DGG community could try and get ahead of some things & do some deep research.
eg Destiny gave recently: foreign propaganda influence being implausible before the TENET scandal.
@Draven1895@Mantispr3ys "Methstiny" vs a guy with undiagnosed ADHD who could actually do with some medication to focus.
(Being charitable {why?}, maybe he was trying to make it more fun. The timing made it just sound like he was desperate to distract from losing.)
@dinglefritzing@Mantispr3ys Yes. Exactly like that.
"MAYBE"??? "more"?? "Left" political violence is constantly going down, but will never be zero. You shouldn't use that as an excuse to further alienate yourself. Look at stats instead of your news/pol.commentary telling you WW3 is tomorrow.
@7truthprevails7@TheOmniLiberal (also us Liberals are too self-critical. "Destroy" is pulling a lot of weight here.)
Hasan will destroy you by being bad faith, trying to destroy your reputation, boosting snarker communities that dox & harass.
Destiny will "destroy" you by dismantling your argument impolitely.
@7truthprevails7@TheOmniLiberal The broad vs narrow has VERY different results.
Hasan has to destroy you if you say Hamas is in the wrong.
Destiny has to destroy you if you say there are legitimate concerns over the US elections. (because you're a useful idiot peddling outright lies.)
@TheOmniLiberal This doesn't seem any different than what Nick normally does, from what little I've seen.
As a jester, he seems pretty good at avoiding Hasan's guillotine. but it's hard to avoid indefinitely signing that loyalty pledge.
@7truthprevails7@TheOmniLiberal What is your social life like, that you've never had 2 friends who hate each other? "Why can't we all get along?" Maybe because 1 or both of them have legitimate grievances??
I get the sense that Nmplol is the only one that can dance on that line, but it's a sharp edge.
@BigLarry138@HQNewsNow and they voted for it a 2nd time.
"I didn't vote for this!"
"This is Biden's diarrhea. I had diarrhea under the Dems, & my algorithm tells me whole cities died of Biden diarrhea, & I don't know how to ascertain objective truth, so they're just as bad."
Make Diarrhea Great Again
@yuutottot How is the market for used toys there? I always hear main-line Transformers are best bought used to save money, but if "Wild King W" is too niche, maybe the production run is small, and it would be difficult to buy used.
@MoeJLong@MarcoFoster_@JohnStamos@jonlovett@aspiringpeasant "[but my algorithm is feeding me lies that my enemies are just as bad, so we're AT LEAST as justified, & at worst can't you say that all this is subjective? (to allow the propaganda)]"
At least I & prominent Libs consider "Am I just as bad?". I don't get that sense from MAGA.
