I feel I did no different than the person who I originally replied to. The popped off about how someone writes because they didn’t like it. I said that pedantic and that pointing it out accomplished nothing productive.

If it sounds like I’m being a dick, it’s because I didn’t like the person who wrote f*ck being singled out because something in their life caused them to think it’s best.

I’m trying to defend someone who just wanted to add to discussion and got dragged. So that’s why I’m defensive.

I completely disagree with you both.

If you feel it’s “insulting” to find judgmental comments that add zero to the discuss except being negative to another community member pedantic, I don’t know what to tell you.

In all honestly, ya’ll’s comments are the same kind of negative as mine. Who cares how someone else chooses to write? How is bemoaning someone’s choice of spelling or self-censor “adding anything interesting to the conversation.” It certainly makes that commenter feel like shit. So who’s rule breaking here?

I love how much effort you put into pedantry. It’s like you use the most words possible to make the least amount of point lmao

It’s easy not to like polarization when one specific side chooses hate as it’s platform. People bemoan the lack of polite discourse, empathy, and fact. I’m not going to normalize or treat as equal the viewpoints of hatred as a policy.

Conservatives haven’t had a real single idea aside from Outgroup of the Week since Reaganomics. And reagonmics is exactly what helped millionaires snowball into billionaires and create the very economic issues we are suffering now. There is no “fiscal conservative” anymore. It’s simply tax cuts for the rich.

So anyone that could even entertain the notion of voting for the political party that presented Trump as a president is not a centrist.

I’d believe someone from the US is centrist if they agreed with 87% of Biden’s extremely centrist policy.

You’ve said the same thing three different ways now. If you are trying to assume I only discuss important matters on anonymous social media instead of at PTA meetings, divided family dialogue, protests, etc you’re wrong. I uphold my value of caring for others in every location, about every topic.

Centrists have the habit of excusing the most vile parts of conservatism for the parts they benefit from. They’ll consider voting for Trump, a proven liar/cheat/hatemonger over a milquetoast, truly milquetoast middle of the road Biden. The amount of gape necessary to straddle that fence could almost fit Trump himself inside it.

The truth is that the Dems are centrist. They’re not perfect, but conservatism is NOWHERE near the middle. Anyone can justify conservative policy cannot be a centrist. Just an embarrassed conservative.

I’ve participated often in a wide variety of conversations on a wide variety of platforms. The trick is, for some weird reason Centrists never vehemently argue with the right. I wonder why that is…

The truth is centrism is just a way to support the “convenient” part of conservatism while avoiding any blame for the “inconvenient” parts. It’s fence-sitting bullshit. Centrists simply equate to embarrassed conservatives.

I used Apollo for Reddit. It had filters and it worked beautifully. It pruned my timelines and kept me from doom scrolling. It’s should be possible locally to just remove posts with the filtered keyword from parsing on your timeline

but nobody “has to” wear pants. im not wearing any, and if I can do it anyone can
