Oh projection…
I don't think you really understand the words you use.
You're saying shaming nazis is shameful?
edit jesus lemmy, you're this stupid? there's no-one blaming anyone of being anything. there's nothing being "projected" here. I guess the downvoters feel rage for me pointing out that only pretentious morons use terms they dont' actually understand to seem smarter than they are
You should probably read the context around a comment before replying to it.
Why?
I'm not going to transcribe the article for you dude.
What you mean is that you don't actually have an argument. You just pretend like you do.
No argument needed here.
Ok I can not believe you are not getting this. The people who said the first part are the cybertrunk owners. The comment about projection is both funny and ironic.
You know since the cybertruck owners don't understand they are being shammed, and are saying the people throwing cheese at them (to shame them) will only learn if they are shamed.
But I mean that shame can be shared now, since anyone who has reading comprehension and who has read the above article would get the joke being made.
You can't even write. "Cybertrunk" "Samme". ("Oh it was my autocorrect)
I read the article.
What do you think is being projected here?
Stop using buzzwords, wannabe-intellectuels.
Yes, and..? What does that have to do with psychological projection? Almost as if you didn't actually understand the word and wanted to seem smarter than you are, isn't it?
Ok, you have to be trolling at this point. But in case you somehow are not:
"You have to be trolling" is rather in the same category as "do your own research".
You're just not able to verbalise what you meant, because the original person didn't mean anything and was using buzzwords to appear smart.
You can not even keep the person you are replying to straight. You got called out for a bad take and now like some sort of american are having a tantrum until someone tells you how smart and right you where/are.
Best of luck!
Oh the irony.
This is precisely what I mean.
Name one buzzword I've used pretentiously.
You couldn't even name two distinct categories of irony. Yet you want to comment like that, because you (rightfully) expect the moron mob to side with you.
You do know votes don't mean you're right, it just means people are angry at me for saying what I'm saying, right?
Argue the argument. Not the man.
Never claimed to be infallible, did I. Thank for pointing that out. I often get stuck on it and then just roll the dice. Most European languages it's with an e not an a.
And that's just the derivatives from the French "intellectuel". Also my native language is "intelektuelli".
I think it's a pretty understandable mistake, in my opinion, and doesn't void my argument. Neither have I asserted being an intellectual, just pointed out who definitely isn't.
Would you disagree?
Please do.
Edit: also in case you want one more:
And how do you think it was pretentious?
Hey, so I've got no horse in this race and also not a native English speaker so please bear with me.
To me the op's statement sounds ironic, but not really a projection. According to google, to project is to unconsciously attribute your thoughts/feelings onto someone else. Like if you're having an argument and you're losing and as a self defense you claim that the other party is angry and or unreasonable or whatever.
In this case the cybertruck owner says the guy shaming him should be shamed. He doesn't realise that it's him who should feel shame, so it's ironic.
Am I missing something? Or was it all just some joke and I'm just overthinking it?
Or is the guy being downvoted because he's being an ass, not because he's wrong?
to keep from arguing the opposite of what you think you are
Your comment was removed for violating rule 3.
Yeah, because it's an entirely subjective rule. People are not "being excellent" to me, because I'm insistent that there was no projection.
Lots of "do your own research" and downvoting, but not a single person can actually verbalise the thing I'm asking. And me pointing that out makes people angry.
i mean, i did that for you. but you ignore it, even now when insisting it never happened.
No, you tried doing that and I explained how that isn't what psychological projection is.
I know how the word IS used, and since languages evolve, this will soon be as meaningless a word as "literally", but no-one is projecting their own emotions onto others.
The Tesla owner saying thar may be being ironic, but he isn't projecting anything.
That wasn't even the same person dude. You are totally unaware of who you're even talking to.
Not unaware, indifferent.
well, you asked "why" to a different question and i was answering that. but if you understood my response, that would give you the context of why you got downvoted. it comes down to you arguing the opposite of what you think you are, because you didn't read the article or understand the context of the comment. you 'chose violence' instead, for no reason.
Its less than two pages ofc I read it. Look at my comments my average comment length is longer than that article lol.
And now youre trying to do to me what I've been doing all the time; calling someone out on their BS. Except I'm not bullshitting, unlike 99% of Lemmy.
I very thoroughly explained my point just now and instead of addressing it, you "chose violence" instead, going for pure ad hominem. Which, on a sidenote, is also misused quite a bit. It doesn't mean the same thing as "insulting" or "offensive." Argumentum ad hominem has a very specific meaning, which most of the internet is just too uncurious to read up on, instead preferring to use language they picked up on the way even when they don't really understand the meaning of it.
What you are doing is projection. You are projecting your feelings of hostility, negativity and insecurity onto me and my comments. Writing in a neutral tone is rather dangerous online actually, exactly because of that being so common.
So, as I've said earlier, argue the matter, not the man.
The Tesla guy saying "the only way they'll learn is if they're shamed" isn't projection. It's ironic, but it's ironic because he is being shamed but he hasn't learned.
It's not "projection" and you simply can't or won't argue that. And the internet likes to pile on people. Like I've said, I'm used to being hated on and being in the minority. I'm used to fighting mobs with reason. You could say it's my lifestyle, really.
Those sentences are obviously not being excellent to other commenters here. To avoid a ban (you have broken this rule twice, I'm being lenient) please follow rule 3.
Thanks
I do admit those were a bit under the belt. I was dehydrated and had just woken up, now I've rested and eaten well. Anyway, that's no excuse.
I'm still gonna stand behind my point, but I'll try to do it without further unnecessary insults. Apologies.
Thank you for understanding
My fault completely. Good modding, giving a fair warning like that. Thank you.
Bro the quote is from a nazi car OWNER not the critics, the OWNER of nazi car is doing the projecting. You clearly dont understand that even after multiple people have pointed it out and thats why youre getting flamed. Lick your wounds and move on.
Wow what a prick. Is that simple enough for you?
Me being a prick doesn't make me wrong though.
