Just because it doesn’t paint the full picture doesn’t mean it isn’t important. The data in this case shows some very clear conclusions.
Sometimes I try to post more in depth theory, the last time I tried that, everyone complained that it was TLDR.
I mean this genuinely - It seems like you’re one of the more reasonable Hexbear users, just for saying this alone:
Intelligence is always knowing where your current knowledge ends. I don’t have all the answers to everything either and it’s easier to engage in discussion when both participants know their limitations, which is the bare minimum required for a good faith discussion. Virtually all other Hexbear users double down and go on the offensive when they are hit with something they don’t know about, which is why I’ve developed a particular disdain for users from your instance and refrain from substantial engagement because it always devolves into sealioning. The only way I have found to engage with users from your instance is reflexively using their own debate strategies otherwise I’m constantly told I “don’t know anything unless I’ve read insert-book-of-the-week”.
I used South Korea because it’s pretty much worse than the US in every regard. My joke, “Samsung Korea”, wasn’t an ignorant American’s take thinking all they make are cell phones, rather, Samsung is basically at the top of their oligarchy and has more control over their government than US corporations, believe it or not. South Korea has one of the best life expectancies, but is one of the worse examples of capitalism.
I think your problem is that you jump to conclusions too quickly. I think you’ll have better luck with Hexbears if you slow down and make sure you actually understand what our point is instead of just trying to win before you have a clear picture of what the other person’s position is.
Oh well, double down I guess. A prominant Hexbear community is called “Dunking On Libs”, which, as we both know, is going to other instances where they engage in “jumping to conclusions” and “just trying to win”.
You almost had self awareness. Almost.
I’ll leave you with what I wrote in my last post:
I can’t speak for every user on my instance (nor can you for yours), but I can say that many of us also respond in kind to what we get. When you tried to dunk on me, you got PPB’d. You’ll get the same if you lob baseless accusations (like calling us “the QAnon of the left”) or confidently assert bad, uninformed takes.
