How this vile, disgusting, and immoral behavior has become normalized in the United States is something our descendants will study in school, to the shame of our generation.”
No “private conversation with my friends” was interrupted. A public conversation was interrupted rudely, to the benefit of absolutely no one.
You don’t like my example, fine. Still, should you do this in public ANYWHERE on earth, you will be looked at with distaste.
I eagerly await you continuing to defend your lack of civility, because that’s what impolite people do.
Nobody holding a conversation here (or anywhere) will ever accommodate you, you will always feel left out and ostracized. Not because of where you are from, but because of what you are.
I should have responded to your contribution with “no shit”, and this is my mistake.
So, in closing, “People from other countries can’t vote for a US president? No fucking shit.”
A public conversation on the international internet, yes. You still seem to think that a public conversation can only involve specific parts of that public. It’s like you don’t understand the meaning of the word “public” or how the internet works.
Also given the fact that my comment has a positive ratio of upvotes, that would suggest your own theory about how I should be “looked at in distaste” doesn’t hold water, either.
Once again, pubic or private setting, you made an assumption and that assumption was incorrect.
I wish you knew what the word “our” means, let me try one more time because you are funny.
If you hear (or read) the word “our”, in public, private, on the internet, off the internet, at the gas station, at the bus stop, on your phone, or on your laptop…
…and it doesn’t pertain to you…
The speaker (or writer) is not referring to YOU.
Do you understand?
Also, your “upvote theory” is a logical fallacy known as “argumentum ad populum”; a theory is not necessarily true just because people think so. Sad… don’t do this. It’s irrelevant.
Now, remember! If you don’t know who “our” refers to, they aren’t speaking to you (or writing for you). If you DO know who they are referring to, and it’s not you?
No correction of “not me!!!” is necessary or desired. Ever. Anywhere. Under any circumstance. We know.
“Our house is on fire!!!” You… “not MY house”
You’re my very favorite, your correction has been corrected. Now go forth, and sin no more!

I mean, ignoring the fact that this is a completely nonsense statement, even by your own logic it falls apart because your [https://old.lemmy.world/comment/21069429](original comment) was:
*You’re both out of control, our parties should be dismantled and dissolved.
Next you’ll be trying to tell me that if someone address you directly and says “you”, they’re not actually talking to you.
Also, your “upvote theory” is a logical fallacy known as “argumentum ad populum”; a theory is not necessarily true just because people think so.
That would be true if my “upvote theory” was “I got more upvotes so what I said must be true”, but as a reminder you claimed:
should you do this in public ANYWHERE on earth, you will be looked at with distaste.
and the upvotes are in fact imperical data that the comment was not looked at with distaste. You should study up on your logical fallacies more, because you do not understand them.
What difference does it make if you were addressing me singularly or plurally? You were still addressing me. You can’t claim that you were both addressing me and not addressing me at exactly the same time. Pick a lane and stick to it.
Yeah but the problem here is you made a huge assumption about who I am, who I represent and which political party I form a part of. You addressed me as such and when I pointed out your assumption was way off, now you’re trying to argue about pronouns and semantics of conversations.
I’ll keep bringing it back to this core point, you made a silly assumption and just can’t admit it. It’s as hilarious as it is sad.

You are arguing with the use of POSSESSIVE PRONOUNS.
Please look that up.
Human conversation is impossible without their liberal use. My use was accurate.
No nonsense statement was made. Stop challenging possessive pronouns.
Do you understand?
Should you do this anywhere on Earth, you will be loathed, forever.
Also, you don’t know what “imperical data” means. Understanding is lost to you.
Lastly, “you” is a word that you appear to be unfamiliar with. I encourage you to look it up! YOU can be PLURAL. Not YOU specifically.
What happened to you (in this case singular, not plural)?
Our conversation is a perfect example of why you (in this case plural, not singular only) should never challenge possessive pronouns!
Stop it.
“Our grandma died today…” you “NOT MY GRANDMA”
p.s. oh my god I was wondering who you remind me of and it just hit me… are you JORDAN PETERSON ???
“What does ‘our’ mean?” What do you mean by ‘you’?" and so on. Jordan, get off of lemmy!
What difference does it make if you were addressing me singularly or plurally? You were still addressing me. You can’t claim that you were both addressing me and not addressing me at exactly the same time. Pick a lane and stick to it.
Sure I can. “You” can address you specifically AND the position you represent in the discussion simultaneously.
it’s never a “gotcha” to challenge such terms, there’s no “gotcha”. If you challenge pronouns, you will never get to an actual issue to discuss.
The user of the pronoun defines who they were addressing, never the “challenger”.
Yeah but the problem here is you made a huge assumption about who I am, who I represent and which political party I form a part of. You addressed me as such and when I pointed out your assumption was way off, now you’re trying to argue about pronouns and semantics of conversations.
I’ll keep bringing it back to this core point, you made a silly assumption and just can’t admit it. It’s as hilarious as it is sad.
That’s the rub, I made NO ASSUMPTION about who you (singular) are or what you (plural) represent.
You’re arguing with pronouns, don’t do that.
I’ll keep bringing it back to that core point, which is all that matters. Who YOU (singular) are to me is irrelevant.
Hilarious indeed.
Your correction has been corrected, now go forth and sin no more!
Are you familiar with Jordan Petersen?
I hope and pray that English is not your mother tongue. German, perhaps (this is an educated guess, not an assumption)?
