Comment on Not sure if this is a science meme but politicalmemes hated it so I'll try here

  Well in that case, the image is based on the false dichotomy that doesn’t exist of the parties’ policies. Most dems don’t want to remove all guns. They just want to keep guns out of crazies’ hands and some want to limit availability of particular things so any subsequent mass shooter has a harder time just endlessly popping off shots like the Vegas shooter… They do not fail to understand guns.

    It seems like your edit after my reply was intentionally designed to make me look anti-vaccines or something?

    And you got upvotes while my thread went from overall positive score to me getting buried in downvotes

    How the fuck can you people sleep at night while treating others like this?

      The edit was to cover an additional point I noticed. Why are you reading so much into it? You’re being downvoted because you’ve put an attempt at a political meme into a science sub, expecting a science community to agree with politically charged topics.

      Now you’re jumping to conclusions about why, because surely most people don’t disagree with you!

      Just chill out dude. You’ll have a much better time here and IRL.

        I really wouldn’t be surprised if the reason it went from above 5 to below minus 5 was because your edit made me look anti vaxx, even if you didn’t do that on purpose (I edit comments a lot too so I’ll give you the benefit of the doubt on that)

      Dude. You’re reacting like someone murdered your mother to people down voting your meme, that’s not normal. Go touch grass.

        Ask yourself why you just took the time to gaslight a stranger on the internet about what they’re reacting to.

        And again, how do you sleep at night while treating others like that? What kind of person is like “you know what would be a good use of my time and this stranger’s time? Lying to them about an obvious verifiable thing that just happened in writing, just to mess with them mentally”

    Replying to the second paragraph you added after my reply:

    Ontop of that, vaccines are a very strange thing to put in opposition to guns. I know what you’re trying for, but it is again based in ignorance. Vaccines are a universal good. There is a reason, a good reason, vaccines are required in order to go to schools. Whether the pharma industry works off of capitalistic practices is a wholly separate thing. Just because big pharma is a piece of shit capitalist enterprise should not reflect poorly on vaccines themselves.

    What are you talking about? What does any of this have to do with the context where you’re replying?

    I am not OK with how my access to vaccines is unjustly restricted, putting me and my loved ones in senseless danger and violating our constitutional rights, because Democrats go along with Republicans on that whenever the money says so.

    I am not OK with how my access to guns is unjustly restricted, putting me and my loved ones in senseless danger and violating our constitutional rights, because Republicans go along with Democrats on that whenever the money says so.

    Are you willing to double check what you just said and admit you’re wrong, or are you just trying to gang up on me with cult mentality?

    This is how much holding your hand through it I’m willing to do, even though I feel like I’m probably wasting my time:

    • Replying to say you’re wrong, it’s easy to find out you’re wrong, and you should correct yourself
    • Suggesting some search queries for you: “ATF agents don’t know anything about guns,” “Democrat politicians embarrass themselves talking about guns,” etc.

    This is a level of hand holding I’m not willing to do without more feeling that it wouldn’t be a waste of time:

    • Spending several minutes to an hour delaying my own reply and other stuff I could be doing, to search the web for pretty common knowledge you’re denying, and compile it for you

      lol I’m not wrong.

        Did you double check? If so, how?

      • iloveDigit@piefed.social ⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

        I gave you the benefit of the doubt over whether your reply edit was manipulative on purpose, but I’m starting to think it was, because you still haven’t even answered me asking if / how you double checked your original statement about Democrat gun experise

        Seems like you only ever replied in this thread in bad faith
