Lol, now you’ve given up even trolling with technicalities, you can’t even defend your position through bad faith 🤣
How embarrassing for you.
If someone claims something happened on the fediverse without providing a link, they’re lying.

My experience is that replying to that kind of post at face value, and just doing a detailed factual rebuttal of it like you’re doing a class presentation, is a mug’s game, because they’ll just come back at you with a bunch of firm insistence that everything you said is wrong. Bullshit asymmetry principle and all.
They did snap out of it
It seems to me that it wasn’t so much that they “snapped out of it” as that they were trying to argue in good faith from the start, and got sidetracked because of your antics.
The alt-right playbook is good stuff for dealing with alt-right people or those who employ similar tactics, but if you resort to that right off the bat without justification, then you’re the one who’s out of line.
You should use a carrot and stick approach. If someone is sticking to the facts, you stick with the facts, if they start doing weird psychological bullshit, then you deploy countermeasures to force them back to the facts. I don’t see any weird psychological bullshit in their original comment, they’re just describing their views.
Excerpting only the part of my message where I was kind of a dick, and responding more or less in kind, is a really effective technique.
Lmao, “responding in kind to me being a dick is bad faith, actually” do people genuinely buy this shit?
So you can be a dick all you want and it’s fine, but if anyone calls you on it or gives it back to you, it’s “bad faith.” Isn’t that a classic abuse tactic? Fucking crybully.
Defending a statement is equivalent to saying it yourself.
Verifying claims is just due diligence, treating requests for evidence as “being a weird debate bro” is a good way to wind up in a circlejerk completely divorced from reality.
Well, for starters, you lied just now saying that you’re “still waiting on what I’ve said that’s been a lie” after I just told you.
You defended a lie, which is the same as lying. That lie was that your opponents on here originally claimed, “Trump would never do this.”
You know this, as does everyone else. You’re not fooling anyone by playing dumb.
I knew it was a different person who originally said it, it’s irrelevant, if you’re defending their position then it is your position too.
You know that, as does everyone else, but these are the tactics you’re forced to resort to since you’ve been caught in a lie.
“All the time” means “frequently,” not “literally every comment.” You know that just like everyone else. These are the tactics you’re forced to resort to since you’ve been caught in a lie.
Allow me to reiterate: Did anyone around here actually say that?
I have no doubt you can find people saying whatever on other platforms, but it’s not really relevant if nobody here agrees with them.
So we went from “no, trump would never do that”
This is the statement that you’re defending. You weren’t creative enough to come up with it on your own, but you’re standing by it all the same.
Boring troll.
There’s nothing dense about recognizing when someone’s lying about their political opponents’ beliefs to make them look bad. What, do you expect people to just take your word on it? 🤣
I guess you’re used to circlejerking and not getting called on lies so long as they’re about the outgroup.
So, no. You made it up.
Yes, I do. You can find many comments of me saying it here. I just said it 5 hours ago, in fact.
That line is also in my profile, so I can just copy and paste it since I so frequently have reason to say it.
Unlike you, I always have the receipts.
Do you have a link or a username?
As I always say, “If someone claims something happened on the fediverse without providing a link, they’re lying.”
I’ve also consistently held a similar position. It’s hard to imagine the conflict going on another 4 years (or a sudden and complete turnaround) regardless of who got elected.
So we went from “no, trump would never do that”
Did anyone around here actually say that?
Why did China decide to do those reforms? Any ideas?
We should improve society somewhat.
