So it has, lol. Not the easiest thing in the world to read every notification first, I'll get through it eventually

You've gotten barely any notifications and you decide to engage in discussion against something before you've read them. That's not exhibiting curiosity. That's being a debatelord. Responding exclusively to this one is also very telling.

The video is barely 2.5 minutes long. I thought you were curious, yet now you decide to put off answers to your question so that you can continue making pointless comments.

This is uncivil, rude and honestly poor behaviour. I hope you rectify yourself.

Operating on the assumption you're just a debatebro, why do libs like you give this one event, where the narrative is so twisted it's visible for anyone who looks the least bit into it, so much weight, when the United states police regularly run over protesters? This picture is used to illustrate a systemic critique of China, yet these events occur commonly in the west and people like you treat it like it's suddenly some complicated situation.

Edit: On the off chance you're genuine, we had someone much kinder than you stumble in a few days ago with the same questions. I will point you to comments from there to give you reading material
On Ukraine
And on tianamen and the Uyghurs

I agree with you but also I wonder if someone who just wanders onto this website knows what a "debatelord" is lol. We are so steeped in our own lingo

Yeah someone also used "natopedia" lol, we need to do some self-crit about being normal online (when appropriate)

I too had a great time away and coming back to this thread in bed is just chefs-kiss

I feel like debatelord is pretty self-evident, but there's other ones like smuglord where I agree. Gonna change it to debatebro though

[–] [email protected] 22 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

Idk if this is correct but I think of smuglord as having come from the emoji title, which is one of the best on the site. I mean, what's more accurate than smuglord ?

"Debatebro" is used pretty commonly outside of here. I think "debatelord" is close enough most people will get it.

I'm not the one being rude here. I am currently working on reading all the comments, I read yours first so I responded to it first. I did not see the video link until after I responded. Cool your jets for sec and let me interact with my own post in my own time. Have a little patience, my friend.

You are being rude in the way I've pointed out. Engaging in this discussion, but ignoring points you dislike is rude. You are doing this in this very response here.
By being rude you appear as a dipshit. You therefore receive uncivil attitude back. If you were less condescending about your way of interaction, then you would receive kinder responses. You are not owed any cool jets, when you yourself are behaving poorly.
Go look thru the linked thread to learn how you actually behave in a civil chat.

Let me engage in my own time.

"Your post" lol buddy it's a public forum and the block button is right there. Let me point out how you're being obvious in my own time.
