If both sides are the same

They are. And I doubt that you are actually being oppressed, unless you are living in russia or afghanistan, then I would absolutely believe you.

I stand by my earlier observation about false equivalency - in reference to the comments about both parties doing the same things, being equally bad and wrong. It is like comparing ice cream and gassy beans. I did not quote the text as it was very long and I also did not wish to amplify it. YMMV.

 

[WeFlossDaily]

They are the same at the core. Each side is pushing a narrative that the other side is less than human and must be abolished. Each side blames the other for the things that are wrong. Neither side takes responsibility.

 

[WeFlossDaily]

Ah, Spirits Rising disagrees but can't be bothered to explain their own clearly 'superior' viewpoint. Same shit. Different day. It must be so superior that I must a total piece of shit for not already knowing about it. Oh deary, deary whatever will I do?

/me knocks over Spirit's 'Podium of the Truth' and sets it on fire.

Yes, Spirits, I believe that condescending and self-righteous assholes like yourself are the cancer of the internet and should be flamed until you learn that some people just aren't going to take any shit from you.

One side wants most of us dead -that would be the GOP; they are pushing forth policies to achieve that -anti-trans, anti-lgbtq, racist, sexist policies; they've already gone after women's autonomy in the form of revoking roe-v-wade.

The democrats are obsessively concerned with maintaining the status quo, even if that status quo veers to the right of Nazi Germany. BUT for all of their multiple faults they are not actually doing harm to whole groups of people's lives the way that the GOP has been for years.

The two parties are objectively not the same.

If you sincerely believe they are -you either are an idiot, not paying attention, or an idiot.

 

[Spirits Rising]

In short, you've learned nothing whatsoever.

Condescending? Oh dear child - if you classify this as 'condescending' you really have been sheltered.

When you actually grow up, you'll be worth more than basic responses and reactions. Until then? Deal. With. It. Child.

'Cause guess what? That attitude of yours is going to cause you problems in life.

This is pretty much what I'm taking about when I say you are a condescending asshole.

Your all ego and no substance.

I ain't the one you want to threaten, though. No, I ain't the one.

 

[WeFlossDaily]

Sure.

-that would be the GOP; they are pushing forth policies to achieve that -anti-trans, anti-lgbtq, racist, sexist policies; they've already gone after women's autonomy in the form of revoking roe-v-wade.

This is the hatred being spewed from one side. Then the other side spews their version of hatred. Both sides blame the other and avoid taking responsibility.

The democrats are obsessively concerned with maintaining the status quo, even if that status quo veers to the right of Nazi Germany.

I'll agree with you on that one. However, I don't think that would be the right thing to do.

BUT for all of their multiple faults they are not actually doing harm to whole groups of people's lives the way that the GOP has been for years.

Of course not, or you won't be firmly entrenched in your current position ready to pounce on anything that doesn't fully line up with what you have been told is right and wrong and what is okej and what is not okej. Your enemy has been defined for you. And they must be destroyed. They are the cause for all that is wrong with your life. The problem with this is that the other side is preaching the same bullshit. It's a different flavor. But it still tastes like bullshit.

The two parties are objectively not the same.

I disagree. There talking points and arguments are different. But at the end of the same, it's like flipping a coin. Doesn't matter if it's heads or tails. It's the same coin and the same system and nothing ever really changes for the better. I think the trick the system plays on us is that it must constantly battle itself for dominance and that we much each choose between either this or that. I reject both sides and both of their narratives.

If you sincerely believe they are

I do.

-you either are an idiot, not paying attention, or an idiot.

This is where it gets sort of funny. Because I disagree with you, I must clearly be in idiot.

Next!

 

[Spirits Rising]

Ah yes, because someone finally telling you exactly how you're acting and telling you that you'll catch flak for it through your life is condescending and threatening .....

Get the fuck over yourself and grow the fuck up, child.

Or use the fucking tools at hand if expecting you to act like a fucking adult is too much for you to handle.

 

[Monica Dream]

I can't say I disagree with everything you wrote -you are, in fact, clearly an idiot.

'next' indeed.

Ya, I'm not about to let some random prick on the internet, especially and asshole like you, tell be shit. Nah, and if you think you are going to cause that problem for me, also, nah. I will not be intimidated, nor concede shit to a fascist like you. Disagree with your punkass, and it's blah blah blah this and blah blah blah that, all blaming the person----in this case: me----for whatever it is you dislike about whatever it is they said.

And it's like I said. I've never sought you out. It has always been you who as intruded, to break a piece of your dumbass mind off on me. Standing up to assholes like you and telling them to fuck off, has never caused me a problem in life, which seems like an odd concern for somebody like you to have. It's like beating somebody because you love them. Puke. Nah, you are actually trying to tell me what to do out of concern. Ego, ego, ego. It's too big and out of control. And me saying nah fuck this shit is perfectly fine.

You are the problem.

I know. This is difficult for you to understand, because each of us views ourselves as the hero of our on views. I am the protagonist of mine and you of yours. However, there is nothing about this that suggests that you are welcome to tell others shit in the manner of which you have done. It needs to flamed and pushed back on, it's a toxic and shitheaded way to treat other people. And I ain't taking it.

Get the fuck over yourself and grow the fuck up, child.

I'm not the egomaniac here. You are. I'm simply not taking it. Period.

Or use the fucking tools at hand if expecting you to act like a fucking adult is too much for you to handle.

LMFAO. Oh, I should use the tools at hand that you can't be bothered with. Motherfucker, please. Once igen you are attempting to pin the sum of your distasteful and moronic words on me instead of taking responsibility for what comes out of your own mouth and being an adult about it. You've come after me and come after me and I'm done playing nice about it.

Do you fucking understand that?

Apparently not.

If you gonna talk the talk, you got to walk the walk, else it's just going to be a brick wall of shut the fuck up for you.

 

[WeFlossDaily]

I can't say I disagree with everything you wrote -you indeed are clearly an idiot.

'next' indeed.

I would just agree to disagree nicely, but you don't appear to tolerate that, and have insisted on doubling down on your insult.

No reason to sugarcoat it if you want to be like that: Go fuck yourself with the rest of them. Here is your back of dicks.

[WeFlossDaily]

That's a weird way to say fuck you. But I kind of like it, so . . meh. Cool, I guess.

 

[Spirits Rising]

Nice wall of text that means literally nothing whatsoever, child.

You're not 'standing up to' anything or anyone. Period. What you are instead doing is reacting to the sum total of every single bit of attitude you have ever given someone in the official SL forum and here, being lobbed back at you.

And the worst part of it is that you actually think you aren't and that you're being unfairly targeted.

Newsflash for you kid, you're not.

Her'es your paths of action:

1. Grow the fuck up and stop being confrontational when no one was being such with you to start with (and yes child, that is exactly how, when and where this started - here and in the SL forum)
2. Use the tools at hand if you're otherwise unwilling/incapable of handling the push back (which clearly is the case as you've done nothing but double down the second you were presented with any form of push)
3. Do neither and eventually say the wrong thing to the wrong person (likely in person) and reap the consequences

Of course you can keep pretending this all came out of nowhere and that you're just responding to a bully or whatever other excuse helps you to sleep at night.

 

[Spirits Rising]

And your response to Monica is just the very latest example of exactly what I am talking about.

It is one thing to disagree (be it in words or via reactions if one is rather tired of repeating themself) and something wholly different to do as you've done to a few here now.
