  me trying to find common sense on piefed/lemmy too

  Why are you putting your own statement in quote marks? Seems like you’re trying to pretend you can’t understand the difference between my statements and what you just said

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Still looking for the right community for this meme⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Who are the people who pretend to know nothing about weapons but do?

  Mainly donors and lobbyists, I guess.

  It’s an oversimplification - it’s more like they confuse you about who’s making the decisions, than that they pretend to know less than they do. But when they formulate arguments based on lies, that’s also pretending to know less than they do, so the oversimplification isn’t actually wrong.

  Complex thing being described simply: decisions are made by people who know how guns work, but a public figure announcing a decision might embarrass himself talking about guns. He might know how guns work, and just be pretending not to. But if he actually knows how guns work, the people sending him out to do the public speaking are the ones “pretending not to know more” - or rather, making you think “wow this guy is an idiot” instead of “wow these decisions are being made by lying donors and lobbyists.”

  Simpler thing that makes it kinda correct: even if the guy doing the public speaking genuinely doesn’t know how guns work, it’s still dishonest of his handlers to send him up, and in the process, they still make false arguments that omit their knowledge on the topic, meeting the exact original statement.

  I’m sure the old WW2 German Nazis would have disagreed with me if I lived then, for thinking defeating them was a good idea.

  I just don’t think it matters. Not all opinions are equal. I’m basically just better than people who think my best ideas are bad.

  I am not helping you chuds grow Truth Social after you banned me from the Donald Trump subreddit after the one time I voted for him 9 years ago. If you’re having trouble getting people to join your new thing now, I’m laughing at you - I’m not the person to ask for help.

  I have not quite given up on finding a piefed/lemmy community where this will be appreciated.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Still looking for the right community for this meme⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  It is very good use of the format.

  Until someone can think of a better format for the same meme, and then it would be downgraded to just a good use of the format, not very good.

  But that hasn’t happened yet.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Still looking for the right community for this meme⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Red and blue are the color code for Republican and Democrat in the US

  But yes, I am stretching the meme format

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Still looking for the right community for this meme⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ll copy and paste so you can try again, maybe it just takes you a few tries to read things correctly:

  I understand political memes are prohibited here, but my last meme was borderline political and people liked it. This one is more directly political, but every community I’ve posted it in so far has hated it, so I’m trying here.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Still looking for the right community for this meme⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Good riddance

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Still looking for the right community for this meme⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  But I didn’t, you’re just being anti-intellectual.

  And in cases where that’s relevant, functional adults can still resist urges like that to actually debate things or simply walk away.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Still looking for the right community for this meme⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Why reply in the first place if you’re so afraid of debate that you’re not willing to explain your position because, by allowing me to refute it, that could be considered a debate?

  Rhetorical question - obviously you only replied in bad faith, to waste my time and annoy me.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Still looking for the right community for this meme⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I still don’t get what you’re saying.

  I should be OK with not being able to get vaccines because I also can’t get guns and they’re too different to complain about both?

  Or the other way around?

  Or something else?

  Please explain fully so that I can understand without already understanding before reading

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Still looking for the right community for this meme⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Weak gaslighting attempt. If you feel like gaslighting me, I recommend trying on nostr. I think I take people more seriously there because they’re at least replying where there are no bans / post removals

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Still looking for the right community for this meme⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  It seems like if you had an answer for this, you’d have made it unnecessary to ask instead of just insulting me, but what do you mean?

  The people actually making the decisions are pretending to know nothing when they present people who actually know nothing as their public speaking people.

  But also, sometimes the public speaking people are just pretending to know less than they do themselves.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Not sure if this is a science meme but politicalmemes hated it so I'll try here⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  1. I asked if you double checked your statement, not if you think it’s OK to violate my rights

  2. If it was OK to violate my rights by limiting me to guns that don’t shoot many bullets or something, that would still not justify what’s happening in the real world, where I’m entirely banned from owning any gun at all and also from using many vaccines

  3. Even if you didn’t do stuff like ban vaccines and entire gun ownership, it still wouldn’t be OK to do stuff like limit me to shitty guns in a country like the US where the people are supposed to have the right to overthrow the authorities in an armed militia, but think about how bad of a person you are for making me type this, taking the topic so fucking far from the question of how you double checked your statement

  Israelis keep violating their “ceasefire deals,” killing people in Gaza, Lebanon, etc. The US also keeps ignoring it.

  Copying and pasting:

  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”

  Just for fun I would have been crab walking on the floor too low down to see what happened. To the cashier, I would appear only as an arm from below the conveyor placing items

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Not sure if this is a science meme but politicalmemes hated it so I'll try here⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨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

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Not sure if this is a science meme but politicalmemes hated it so I'll try here⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I wish!

  Also yes, the meme format is misusing the “red” and “blue” pills as political stand-ins. You’re right

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Not sure if this is a science meme but politicalmemes hated it so I'll try here⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  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)
