Comment on Badge of Honor
HoneyMustardGas@lemmy.world 21 hours agoActually the last thing I argued about was a conservative talking point. But I do it for the sport, not for all seriousness. I just like debating things. But I get myself in trouble sometimes because I will look up all the talking points for my case and win and sound like a douche. So, I try to stay apolitical for awhile, not commenting on politics, because it feels mean. And usually IRL I am a kind person. But online I am a goblin of sorts. We are different than trolls, we debate, we don’t argue or joke around. We dabble in the art of rhetoric. It’s like some women who call themselves eclectic witches, never adhering to a religion but still practicing witchcraft only instead of witchcraft, it’s debate. I will pick the opposite angle just for the love of the game.

Which point is that? Sounding like a douche, or not caring about politics?

Lotta people claim to be apolitical these days. If you’re US based, I would argue amoral fits better.

apolitical, really means they are conservatives that dont want to be called out.

I definitely have morals, but I hide them. I hate forming strong opinions because I have schizoeffective and become indecisive. So I try to remain as unbiased as humanly possible. Opinions pollute. Questions aspire.

Why do you think it’s permissible to overlook intentional suffering of others to create a more cohesive cultural fabric?
A question about why you wouldn’t have an opinion on a pretty clear moral issue. Unless of course you think it’s permissible to which I would argue again: immoral or amoral.

I mentioned I have morals, I just hide them because I hate negative attention and arguing. When I go on Reddit or Lemmy, I am in relaxation mode. I think I mentioned I used to just debate for the fun of it. It got me in trouble making just one person mad, makes me feel bad. So, I like to keep myself open minded and I can see perspectives of other people. Many political issues don’t directly affect me, so it is easy to switch sides, not for convenience, but because I am very open minded. I may have misworded some things iny previous comment. So I will recant, I have political views, morals and the like but they change a lot with new information and others’ strong opinions. I see both sides of the coin and have trouble making a strong opinion on either side. Again this is because a symptom of schizoeffective is indecisiveness. If is partially my personality and partially my diagnosis. I mean no discourse.
