Comment on Trump seizes control of U.S. presidential election after winning North Carolina AND Georgia
killingspark@feddit.org 1 week agoI like the attitude of lumping in “you all” into one singular group that calls you a Nazi. Especially funny because I do not have a party in the USA.
You know if you think everyone is in the same group as the few bullies the world feels like it’s full of bullies. But that might not actually be factual.
Just my two cents, have a nice whatever time it is over the pond right now

Hey man, you started it by saying I had some victim mentality.
Also, it’s day here (11 a.m. right now) and it’s a glorious day. Some great snowfall too.
Thanks, friend! :)

See that’s what I meant though. Just because I am criticising one aspect of your post doesn’t mean I am someone who would call you a Nazi or that I am affiliated with people that would. I’m my own person.

Sure, but here in the US when when we say “you all” we don’t literally mean every single person. It’s a from of casual speech that means “a lot” or “most.”
Trust me, when I say a lot of people dislike me. In fact, some hated me so much that they said I had over 45,000 downvotes, wrote a program to track my every downvote, and then admins jumped in and agree that I was in the top three most downvoted people on Lemmy. Same username as this, but on a different instance.
Then I was banned from an instance. And they even made a special post about my banning in a c/politics community. In fact, as far as I can tell, it was the only non-political post in that community.
But I used their bullying and even put their specs in my profile.
So I came to this instance, and people from THAT instance followed me here to downvote a lot of stuff and send me nasty DM’s.
So when I say “you all” it has some meaning. But no, it’s not YOU specifically. ANd not, it’s not every single person on Lemmy. But it’s a lot.
Welcome to casual native US english language friend.
And wanna see what comments and posts I was banned for? Take a look: lemm.ee/modlog/5241?page=1&actionType=All&userId=…

I guess it just confused me that you used that wording in a thread where I am pretty much used to 1:1 communication. But it makes sense if you expect a lot of people to read these comments. Still feels like I was addressed with that since you were replying to my comment and the points I was making
