It wasn’t the length of that was the problem, I was complaining about the poor construction.

Then again, I have standards. If you don’t, you do you.

Hostility towards any sign of intelligence is always the first step in the downfall of any society.

But, hey, at least you’ve got something to be proud of! Contribute into the downfall of society because you glorify ignorance? What a hero you are!

I see no problem with the structure of that sentence. Pretty absurd to claim that anyone that doesn’t share your sentiments has no standards, but you do you. Also, kind of ironic for you to crown yourself the king of intelligence when your first sentence isn’t even grammatically correct.

Blocked? Lmfao

I just don't understand the mentality of telling someone you're blocking them either. If they're a troll, you're just going to make them feel smug about having pissed you off. If they're engaging in good faith, it makes you look like the asshole.

Like... What would they gain by telling you they're blocking you?

I dunno. Honestly this whole chain is so bizarre I’m wondering if they’re ok.

Besides, if joking about fascism is so bad then why is Charlie Chaplin regularly credited with torpedoing Hitler’s mystique? I think it’s honestly a civic duty to mock authoritarians. Shit, any person in a position of power should be mocked to varying degrees

Joking about fascism is bad because it hurts the fascists' feefees

Someone has been sniffing their own farts. Don't worry, my block button works as well.

How typical for the ignorant to attack what they don’t understand with childish insults.

Keep believing a lie. It’s clearly working very well for you.

Thank you for explaining why you started off with this:

You sucking the shit out of the asshole

Can you block me too? I’d hate having to read more hissy fits from such an insufferable ahole like you lmao

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago) (1 children)

No one’s making you do anything. Exercise some self-control.

Just like no one is forcing you to be an ahole, yet here we are ¯_(ツ)_/¯

Exercise and self-control

Said the user cussing out everyone in this thread lmao. The irony is as high as your lack of awareness
