Some will cheer, some will be mildly disappointed. But I’m out, I think.

    Did you know about the part where his illnesses make touching grass an ordeal he reduces to the minimum necessary (politics, keeping up with friends)? I get that you won’t see his comments, but he said as much somewhere in this section.

    Point is, he is touching grass and has plenty more opportunity. I don’t see why people are hating on someone contributing so much content, most of it high quality, and bringing life to the platform. Why would less activity be a good thing?

      What does that mean, exactly? There are lots of ways to touch grass that don’t involve physical activity any more intense than typing. Playing a board games with your friends is touching grass, for example.

      Even if it were true that he had no choice but to be terminally online, his personality is insufferable, he digs in hard to his positions and can’t be reasoned with. I believe he’s had drama with trans spaces (something about neopronouns, it was a long time ago) before because of that sort of thing.

      I believe my last conversation with him involved him screaming at me and calling me a fascist because I said that I wouldn’t believe claims without evidence. And then following me around calling me a fascist while still refusing to provide a shred of evidence for his claims. I suppose if you already agree with him on everything, you wouldn’t see that side, but from my perspective he doesn’t care about being persuasive or backing up his claims so much as playing to the crowd and shouting down disagreement.

      Imo, comms like NCD are pure internet brain poison, “semi-ironic” glorification of the military with a veneer of liberalism. Likewise for the political compass and associated memes, it shapes the way people think about politics, massively oversimplifying everything.

          Like I said, he’s really just concerned with playing to a crowd that I’m not part of, so yeah.

        Sorry that you don’t like it when I provide evidence and you refuse to read it, as in the comment sections you linked.

        “Something about neopronouns”

        Ah, this old canard. Unsurprising that you’d spread more blatant misinformation.

        I believe my last conversation with him involved him screaming at me and calling me a fascist because I said that I wouldn’t believe claims without evidence.

        Amusing that you literally link to me providing evidence multiple times.

        And then following me around calling me a fascist while still refusing to provide a shred of evidence for his claims.

        Sorry that you don’t like it when it’s pointed out that you’re an Uyghur Genocide denier.

        Per https://feddit.uk/comment/26233735

        “As someone with a laundry list of physical and mental ailments, my ‘touching grass’ time is extremely limit, and general I reserve the monumental effort there for important issues - like keeping up with the social events of my actual friends, or participating in local politics in my increasingly-fucked-and-fascist country. “Touch grass, it’s more fun than shitposting about history!” doesn’t really apply for me.”

        As for the rest of your comment, I’ll be explicit in saying that I won’t engage with it. I have read the linked comments, their context, other comments linked in that context and frankly, I don’t think that will be a fruitful conversation for either of us. I hope you can respect that choice not to have it.

          touching grass

          All I’m saying is that, regardless of the reasons, too much internet can create brainworms, bad politics, and toxicity. I’ve yet to hear of any physical or mental ailment that makes it impossible to log off.

          Sure. You asked, I answered. I mostly linked them because I don’t believe in saying anything negative about a person without providing evidence.

              Aren’t you supposed to be logging off? Now that you’ve noticed I’ve unblocked you, I doubt you’ll be able to stay away for a week.

                Sorry that I’m active in my fucking farewell thread, I know that’s such a radical idea.

                    What’s the logic there, I’m curious. Other than, of course, the usual logic of repeating blatant misinformation and genocide denial wherever you can?

        He called you a fascist because it’s true. You are a genocide denier and simp for totalitarian regimes. It is even linked within the argument you linked.

          I don’t just deny genocides, I deny literally everything that doesn’t have evidence to support it. Claiming that anyone who needs evidence to believe things is a “fascist” or a “simp for authoritarian regimes” is beyond absurd. Especially when the main proponent of the claim you’re demanding I accept blindly, without evidence, is itself an authoritarian regime!

            How come do you come with the same talking points as neonazis/Holocaust deniers? (denying that evidence exists when you in fact deny the legitimacy of any evidence presented to you)

                Literally in the stuff you linked people presented evidence to you. Stop being such a dishonest POS.

                Also I dont deny there was a genocide against Italians in Yugoslavia after the end of WWII. Tito was based in some ways but shit in others.

                    PJ keeps linking to the thread you were presented evidence with and your counter was “western media is not credible”, which is a bullshit counterargument. If you are gonna waste my time by acting like and child and using the same tactics nazis use to deny the holocaust, then piss off.
