Remember me comrades!

I must say I had a pleasant conversation on workers’ rights in the US recently on c/technology (lemmy.world). By pleasant I mean "not being insulted because I live in France and workers do have rights so I’m a red commie" pleasant.

For the majority of Americans, as long as you are a pleasant person, you will have pleasant conversations, even if it’s about a disagreement.
- A. This leads to politeness fetishists and tone policing. If someone says something offensive like "we should remove LGBT+ books from schools," I'd rather shoot myself than speak nicely to that person.
  
  B. This has not been my experience with my fellow Americans at all. I even saw a mod from lemmy.world post mod-flaired horseshit in their politics community about how "The US is not a racist country." Fuck that.
  
  🤷‍♂️ then you’re talking to different people than me idk what to tell ya
  
  Your instance is literally swarming with liberal transplants from reddit, so now you're just being disingenuous.
  
  I live in the midwest, and I'm surrounded by polite fascists. Fuck politeness, and fuck this racist nation.
  
  Then don't complain when people respond in kind...
  
  If they have dogshit opinions about LGBTQIA people or immigrants to begin with, what's rudeness on their part going to do? Lol
  
  Their opinions and lives already lack any value.
  
  Edit: Just noticed this guy moderates a community filled with bigots that engage in frequent use of an ableist slur, so it looks like this clown is referring to people like himself. "I may be an unhinged bigot, but at least I'm polite so I win!" Just the type of person I'm talking about.
  
  Lmao you don't know even know what you're arguing against. I never said anything about whether you should be polite, I just said that if you're going to be a cunt you can't complain about people being cunts back
  
  Also if you did 5 minutes of research you'd see that c/[email protected] doesn't allow any kind of hate speech, there are no slurs in any of the comments, and our most recent post removal was because of ableist and racial slurs. But go off I guess
  
  If you're trying to lie about not being a bigot, you should really not lean into the sexist language lol. But thanks for confirming my suspicions, I suppose.
  
  Anyway, dunking on bigots is always the right choice, so I'm not sure what you think you were contributing by telling me that. Just makes you sound like a typical fragile cis heteroni.
  
  Hahahaha, nah, it's just funny when people who think like you can't handle people not praising you for being so enlightened. Think what you want about me. Weird that you're bringing identity into things considering you don't know anything about me. But at least I don't have to waste more time with you. Seeing you added nothing I accept your concession, you can't win them all. Just lose with more grace next time.
- Hi from the autistic guy that is physically unable to understand the rules of „politeness“ and burns out while pathetically trying to mimic them just to look like a creep anyway.
  
  hello!
  
  Sorry friend that sounds stressful :(
  
  I’ll give you a politeness pass and if anyone complains tell em to direct all complaints to DillonBrooksEnjoyer
  
  Thanks friend! I liked your other comment as well btw.
- How can we have a pleasant conversation about the murders the American soldiers are committing in the Middle East? How does one be pleasant about murder?

That's weird considering America's favourite pass time is to bitch about how shitty our government is

Lol yeah, I'm confused by this. Our government is a fucking mess right now!

is there any chance you are doing it while spouting Kremlin propaganda? because then there is maybe a time to look in the mirror on this one

Anyone that disagrees with the US government is spouting Kremlin propaganda. Riiiiight....

You are a joke.
- Anyone that disagrees with the US government is spouting Kremlin propaganda. Riiiiight…
  
  I mean, if you take what I said and completely change it, I can see why you might be upset at that. Though I would encourage you to reply to what I actually said.
  
  You are a joke.
  
  I am indeed a very funny guy, it's a bit creepy that you know that though.

  There should be a bot that posts this link whenever the phrase "kremlin propaganda" is mentioned. Maybe then you'll learn.
  
  goes on an anti-tankie post Comments that his posts are always dogpilled by the most anti-tankie group. Claims ad hominem when someone points it out.
  
  :)
  
  Is it wrong to engage in a conversation with people we disagree with?
  
  Would you rather have us segregate based on our opinions?
  
  I merely posited that you might be getting into arguments because you have drank the Kremlin propaganda, but from your posts I see it's more that youblike to defend the Chinese government for some reason or at least like to do "a Whatabout the USA"
  
  also I am not sure you ubderstand what ad hominem is, it's attacking the person saying it rather what the person is saying, if I were to say "you are spouting Kremlin propaganda" would be the exact opposite since I would be "attacking" what you are saying not who you are.
  
  hope that helps
  
  A lot of americans and some other westerners always assume that anyone who disagrees with them must be infected with Russian/Chinese/(insert bogeyman) propaganda.
  
  Whereas the truth is that the Western civilization is on a murder spree and the rest of us who are not Westerners are disgusted by it.

Little do people know everyone is shit and your personality that is only based on ideologies makes you look like a moron. Yes we know there is unfairness in the world. But any “ism” won’t fix it.

Doomerism be like:
"Yes we know absolute monarchs, unequal access to justice, oppression and the dumb wars they get us into are unfair, but no 'democracism' will fix it"

It takes a very basic knowledge of history to understand why this argument is shit.
