I keep hearing the term in political discourse, and rather than googling it, I’m asking the people who know better than Google.

    Both “dismantle western propaganda” and “It is in the Left’s interest for these organizations to be demolished” were bolded by the .world admins to emphasize it. Really don’t know what you’re doing here beyond sealioning.

    Never believe that anti-Semites are completely unaware of the absurdity of their replies. They know that their remarks are frivolous, open to challenge. But they are amusing themselves, for it is their adversary who is obliged to use words responsibly, since he believes in words. The anti-Semites have the right to play. They even like to play with discourse for, by giving ridiculous reasons, they discredit the seriousness of their interlocutors. They delight in acting in bad faith, since they seek not to persuade by sound argument but to intimidate and disconcert. If you press them too closely, they will abruptly fall silent, loftily indicating by some phrase that the time for argument is past.

    -Jean-Paul Sartre

    Applies pretty well to you. You’re aware of the absurdity of your replies, the game is the point for you.

      You know what, you’re so hungry for it, I’ll concede this point. You were right, it should have been “your” not “you’re” those were were the ones that were highlighted.

      I’ll put a little trophy right next to your username :)

          Well you also ignored mine to fixate on which bullets were bolded, so there’s that! Big day!

            You never had any points, and lied whenever I brought any up specifically to avoid engaging with mine. I brought up that they bolded the point about the left needing to demolish NATO, the IMF, etc. as a means to show that this is ideologically incompatible with Lemmy.world. You lied, even in face of photo evidence, to avoid answering my question on why they did that. It’s dishonest, and is why there’s no point in arguing with points you raise because you won’t take any response seriously.
