Feel like that hasn’t happened in a while.

I miss them deeper-sadness

    my favorite thing about us interacting with liberals here is how they can’t handle us talking normally. Just our normal communication style, casual chatting, is interpreted by them as wildly offensive and rude. And that’s no matter what we’re saying or how good faith we’re communicating. It felt like even when I was trying to talk normally to libs here or federated I’d have to water down everything I said, or I’d get asked to denounce Stalin or the DPRK no matter what the topic was.

    Or maybe that’s just their defense mechanism? Like a squid spraying ink. When they don’t have anything concrete to say they instantly complain about manners?

      I’m new here and I couldn’t even tell there were problems with how you guys communicate.

      Redditors all talk exactly the same like they’re in a weird robot cult, so when they see internet people conversing in a normal, reasonably casual style and having a good time doing so it short circuits their brains

      Yeah that’s it. I’ve worn down enough of them to see the pattern play out time and again. After that comes aggression and insults and if then you get “lol you triggered?”

      My favourite thing to do is to ask them a simple question and then point out how they never answer it.

      My second favourite thing to do is to explain why Wikipedia isn’t a good source.

      My third most favourite thing to do is take a shit so big it tears my asshole in two. Gotta eat less fiber I guess.

      I believe it’s really all they know. it’s how they’ve been trained by MSM to think and speak. It’s how they argue with conservatives, who have been similarly trained. When they are confronted with a different pattern they discover they have no other method in their arsenal and are compelled to switch to ego-defense.
