You comment strongly implied that you thought Maple Engineer thought this was a MAGA-specific phenomenon. There isn't the same strong implication in Maple Engineer's comment.
Bold mine. Yes there is.
Where did they say they only thought it was the "Magazis" who don't give a shit? You're like those amerikan liberals who think that criticising genocide joe meant you thought trump was better. You can make a negative comment about one amerikan politician without it being a positive about another. They're practically the same anyway.
Oh look, you've suddenly flipped back to demanding explicit quotes, when previously you accepted implications.
Hypocrite.
Oooooh, so now you're willing to accept implied statements!
What happened to demanding explicit quotes only? Which implicit is exactly the opposite of.
And yes, there is the same strong implication in their comment
I never said that I wasn't "willing to accept implied statements"? Their original comment absolutely did not imply they thought that it was only MAGAheads who were ok with Israel killing USAmericans, on the same level that you implied they thought that. You're like that tweet about "I like waffles" "So you hate pancakes?". They didn't say anything about Biden either way...
Yes it absolutely did. Stop being deliberately obtuse.
You cut off my sentence. Here's the full quote.
Whether or not there was an implication at all is subjective. I don't think that criticism of one party should be understood to be at the exclusion of another party, but whether or not that implication is there at all is up to you. I think making those sorts of inferences makes it very difficult to have any discussion about politics when criticising some group is meant as condoning another group; in that case any political statement would have to be very long to list all the groups it applies to.
But I didn't say that it wasn't implied at all; I said it wasn't implied at the same level. Your reply to the original comment would make no sense if you didn't believe that they only thought MAGA supporters were ok with Israel killing USAmericans. There's far more ambiguity in the original comment, and I don't believe it automatically lends itself to your interpretation (which was proven wrong by that commenter saying they don't believe such a thing), but in any case it is absolutely not the same level of implication as your comment.
Can you point to where I said he thought it was a maga specific phenomenon?
The first sentence...
Please point out where I said that explicitly
The first sentence...
Nope. Try again
The first sentence...
So you can't then
The first sentence...
Oh no, it's caught in a loop
Can I point to where I said you said that explicitly? I can point to where I said you said it implicitly though. (emphasis mine)
You also more or less said it explicitly though, if you want to go down that route. I can't quote a specific part of your comment because your entire comment is based on this suggestion. (emphasis mine again)
So you can't point to where I said it explicitly.
Hypocrite
Lmao damn someone's mad. Why reply to me 3 times? I've never said anyone said anything explicitly
Wow, I didn't realize it was 2012 again
