Comment on Public transit in Chengdu, China versus Toronto, Canada
TheCleric@lemmy.org 3 days agoNo im not. You’re just seeing the issue-as-it-is as binary. I’m saying it’s bad to ignore all context to make a cheap point, even if your point is good. There are a billion ways to make a good point. Why choose a bad one.

It’s odd to me to take objection to a post making a bad point by making a sarcastic statement that was open to misinterpretation. The thread invites a discourse about building better cities and yet, in classic Lemmy fashion, it’s just about semantics.

Ugh.
Demand better discourse then. Because bad discourse don’t lead to positive change

That’s precisely what I try to bring to every thread I engage with, but it can be extremely frustrating.
