I don't think he's dumb, he just believes bad sources.

[–]Alphix 5 insightful - 2 fun5 insightful - 1 fun6 insightful - 2 fun -  (1 child)

And after being argued with and shown evidence of being wrong, STILL believes BS? He's either dumb or evil.

This is obviously wrong and certainly unfair.

For example, my latest experiment: https://saidit.net/s/politics/comments/bbxt/91_criminal_charges

Saidit's anti-corruption yelping over the years came to an abrupt conceptual end with that post. (No Saiditor in that thread - other than I - wants Trump's corruption to be addressed AND no Saiditor was able to propose an argument against one of those 91 charges. It was one of the most obvious slam dunks in Saidit's history, proving that many Saiditors support political corruption, they parrot the talking points of far right disinformation news media, and they are hypocrites when they've complained about the lack of attention to political corruption in the past. Those 91 charges barely scratch the surface of numerous examples of the Trump crime family's corruption, and yet why would anyone on Saidit want to support him by calling those 91 charges erroneous? What's very good about this is that the far right social media could elevate Trump to GOP presidential candidate nomination - much to the chagrin of many in the GOP - and it's already well-known that he'd lose against the corpse of Biden. The main problem is that Trump's supporters have caused a social rift in the US that is dividing Americans. Very sad.)

Do you actually think he acts in good faith?

[–]Musky 5 insightful - 1 fun5 insightful - 0 fun6 insightful - 1 fun -  (8 children)

And someone should defend Socks, might as well be me. I think he makes this place interesting. Mostly we all agree with each other and that's not really conducive to conversation. Socks argues the wrong side, we don't have many people who do that.

[–]Megatron95 5 insightful - 2 fun5 insightful - 1 fun6 insightful - 2 fun -  (7 children)

Why would you defend someone who constantly insults the users?

[–]Musky 4 insightful - 2 fun4 insightful - 1 fun5 insightful - 2 fun -  (1 child)

Are you kidding, when he has his meltdowns it's hilarious.

This is true. I happily defend socks but find him entertaining in his frustrations 😄

[–]g0ldfish 3 insightful - 1 fun3 insightful - 0 fun4 insightful - 1 fun -  (4 children)

Users insult him constantly, and much before he responds in kind. It's not a big deal on a "free speech" website like Saidit.

[–]jet199 2 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 0 fun3 insightful - 1 fun -  (3 children)

That's not true at all.

He randomly called me a cunt just because I posted a funny story about Meghan Markle (who he simps over).

[–]g0ldfish 2 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 0 fun3 insightful - 1 fun -  (2 children)

That's not something I would do. I've never called you a cunt (I don't call women cunts). What was the username? I would defend Harry & Meghan, however, because they've been treated unfairly.

EDIT: I've searched for 'meghan' in all of your posts dating back 2 years and see 3, 2 of which have no replies, and 1 of which has boring replies, none by me. You are lying, Jet (unless you can find the post and the response; I genuinely don't remember responding like that. It's also not the way I respond to your comments or posts, which 99% of the time have been very polite, because I am a fan of your quips, which can be wonderfully sharp-witted and unexpected amongst these Americans' crass comments. You are of course a jerk to me, and I am not sure why, nor does it matter, but the least you can do is try to avoid lying.).

Ahh yes, the Saidit search which famously works perfectly every time?

Do you never engage your brain even slightly? Why would I lie about something so specific?

https://saidit.net/s/Entertainment/comments/7ixe/apparently_its_bias_to_ask_why_she_keeps_holding/

You are a morally bankrupt person who uses left wing politics to try to cover up your terrible behaviour towards people. No one else here constantly gets kicked off for constantly threatening violence. Do you never ask yourself why that is if you are supposedly the good guy? It's because no one else here of any shade of politics thinks the way you do about other people.

In case he deletes

Think about this for a second, Jet. You want to make a general argument about all of my comments by remembering a comment I made TWO YEARS AGO?? Seriously? I wonder when was your last normal relationship with a human. This is nuts. (A lot can happen in 2 years.)

Also, your other comments are helpful, because I didn't know that you had this much irrational hatred for me, and I don't know why. Duly noted.

Anyway, let's look at the "morally bankrupt" argument? Do you realize that I am one of only 2 or 3 users who argue AGAINST the genocide of Ukrainians, AGAINST laws that limit women's rights, AGAINST political corruption, AGAINST spreading COVID, etc, etc. If I agreed with users who promote Christo-fascist, authorian, genocidal disinformation for the far right, like the others here, THAT would be morally bankrupt. Also keep in mind that it's perfectly normal for fascists at Saidit NOT to like non-fascists, and to want to limit the free speech, voting rights, human rights, reproductive rights, educational rights, etc. etc. of the non-fascists. If Saiditors agreed with me, I'd certainly be morally bankrupt. I've explained this many times in the past 2.5 years. It's good to be different on this website. I've also explained which right wing issues I agree with and which left wing issues I agree with, and how I am more of a centrist, but I am not explaining that again.

Now let's look at that 2-year-old comment you've NOT FORGOTTEN:

[–][deleted] 3 insightful - 1 fun - 2 years ago

Perhaps for /s/shittyphotoshop

No need to try so hard to be a racist cunt

Yep - I think that was me. Now consider your reading comprehension: I noted that you "need not TRY so hard to be a racist cunt." What that means is that you were trying to be a racist cunt, rather than denote that you were indeed a racist cunt. It's about a photoshopped image spread by racist cunts in social media 2 years ago. Though I did not explicitly say so at the time, I can clarify that everyone sharing that photoshopped image was indeed a racist cunt. For example the top comment to your post was:

sproketboy 3 insightful - 2 fun - 2 years ago

Barren whore.

I suspect you voted on that. Racist cunt news media in the UK at that time claimed that she was never pregnant, and you and other racist Saiditors supported that attack on Meghan. Why? Can you think of 2 words that would describe the people who wanted to share that photoshopped disinformation? I certainly can.

Hah, fuck no, but he's not dumb.
