Before anyone responds to @S1CK___0F___Society@lemmy.today offering a factual rebuttal, a quick look at their post history shows their hobby is nearly exclusively collecting downvotes through various means across many different communities.
Oh, well if they got downvotes… Of course we can tell he’s a bad person, he disagreed with the hive mind. And we can tell that he was wrong in all those instances because he got downvoted.
Best to just fully disengage from anybody who disagrees with the hive mind, to be safe.
Edit: InB4 this person writes exactly the same thing about me. Hey, why don’t we just ban anyone who has negative karma and just be done with it?

If that’s your defense of them, you haven’t looked at their posts. I’m not stopping you. Go ahead! Do you still jump to their defense now? Is this person’s interesting and insightful views being crushed under the boot of conformity or perhaps is it something else?

If nearly every community you go to doesn’t want you there, then its more than just a philosophical disagreement about the material being discussed.

That’s cute. There is zero obligation to interact with jerks simply because they disagree with you. Being open minded doesn’t mean you have to consume their vitriol irrespective of how toxic it is or how abrasive the speaker is. The social contract requires each party to bring a certain amount of mutual respect. I didn’t see them bringing it to those conversations.
I didn’t read their comments at all, I just noticed someone being the victim of obviously circular reasoning. This site has gotten very hive-mind ish lately, and comments like the one I replied to are a big part of why. People say the same thing about me, how I’m an obvious troll because I push back on the majority narrative. The impulse to just hand wave away anyone who disagrees with you gets heavily amplified here, for whatever reason.
You do yourself a disservice when you lend your voice without vetting the cause. I worry you’ll get lumped in with them when they see your strong defense for their bad behavior.
That’s fair, I was more annoyed with the arguments being used, because I argue in good faith for things I think are better, and get those same arguments thrown at me.
Specially here, but you can think whatever you want, I couldn’t care less (:
Yeah, that’s looks to be part of your problem. You’re talking “at” people, not to them. Further, you mix in unnecessary insulting language in whatever point you’re trying to make which immediately alienates your audience.
So you’re not changing minds. Which raises the question, why do you bother? Do you get some kind of personal value out of your martyrdom? Does it allow you some kind of comfort that you’ve convinced yourself you’re right which lets you double down on your edgy takes? Are you angry in life and can’t vent to those you interact with in real life, so you dump on strangers on the internet? If so, I don’t think that is healthy for you.
Ukrainians are just cannon fodder for the West. The sooner they realize they can’t win without foreign troops, the sooner they can stop deluding themselves to their deaths.
“…as the first signs of Spring appear, many hibernating creatures begin to wake from their slumber. Here we see the common troll emerging groggily from his burrow. He displays his stupid opinions for all to see. And now he is joined by another in his pointless cause…”
Imagine claiming its good “for everyone else” to stop defending people from a genocidal invasion, then getting butthurt for being downvoted and saying you dont actually support a genocidal invasion.

Thanks for the heads up, they seem like a very sad person.
So, a troll
Or shill or whatever.
It’s been getting bad the last several days.
I can’t wait for us to get closer to November. /S
Remember kids there is a block button
Thanks

Gotcha, so when presented with your own actions that don’t match your present narrative, you deflect. I hope your life improves.
Have a nice day!

Blah blah blah.
The moment, when you log into your account just to downvote a russian asset
Block don’t downvote the obvious troll.
Por que no los dos
I agree.
Ukrainians are just cannon fodder for the West. The sooner they realize they can’t win without foreign troops, the sooner they can stop deluding themselves to their deaths.
Good to see another resident troll is out and about. Yawn.
It’s the only time people actually engage with them, even in forums.
So edgy.

Literally what every Western military strategist says, but ok.
I guess you thought Ukraine could retake Crimea, too? Lol.
Tbh I’m just shocked you’re not banned after your blatant racism yesterday. Nice try putting words into my mouth.
Look, we get it. You don’t like what I say.
But that’s no reason to make up lies about me.
So you didn’t think Ukraine could take back Crimea? That’s all you had to say.
Gonna just act like you didn’t say people from Central America have a culture too uncivilized for due process?
It’s more who you seem to be based upon what you say and how you say it than your actual opinions that generates the contempt.
I love the transparent modlog; it makes exposing people like you that much easier.
Nice opinion, tankie.

Yes. Tribalism is in full-swing.
It should’ve been a wake up call for them when Ukraine’s counteroffensive failed, but some people never learn.
Who’s offensive failed two years ago?
