do the right wing guys think it’s like a draco malfoy thing where they’re a good guy underneath?
like when it’s like a lady and a cop and the lady seems like a normal sorta boring suburban lady
do you know what i mean. this is one of the things where if you try to ask an AI bot it yells at you
While I disagree with some of your politics, thanks for providing a thoughtful response, and follow-ups.
Also, Lemmy is much more interesting if we are (small l and c) liberal in what we upvote and conservative in what we downvote. Providing a coherent good-faith argument never deserves a downvote in my opinion. I basically only every downvote bad faith, trolling, or harmful posts. By that standard you haven’t deserved a downvote yet, but are getting buried. It’s a shame.
Thanks, I appreciate the kind words. I’d say my comment upvote/downvoted policy is similar. I downvote things that are unproductive or nasty in nature, because I generally productive discussions.
But holy hell did the discussion take a toxic turn. By the end of the day I was just burnt out on it and went to sleep. Had it started as a proper discussion, rather than a downvote fest and immediately pulling out the usual “you’re an evil Nazi” rhetoric, it would have probably gone in a much more civil direction.
