Wtf dude chill

Just saying, the second and third paragraph seem to agree with you

[-] [email protected] -5 points 2 years ago

That's EXACTLY MY POINT. If someone agrees with you, then why lead with something as pretentious and haughty as "Not to knock your worthy efforst, but..."

Why talk down to someone like that and adopt the tone of a pretentious debatelord when you ultimately agree with the other person?

I encountered people like that all over reddit, so I recognize them -- the type of people who think any conversation is a debate that you must "win." It's precisely because he does agree with me that I'm so miffed.

They weren't being pretentious or haughty. They amended one of your statements because it was a little inaccurate, then agreed that your wider point is correct. Because, yes, "wanting to hold on to what you have earned" is indeed an ideologically driven position

it was a little inaccurate

It wasn't, though. There was nothing I said that needed amending, nor nothing they said that effectively amended. And they weren't called upon to do so. They could have said the same exact thing without coming off like a prick.

It was, because like I said, it is ideological. You said it wasn't. After I've explained my point, you can't just say "nuh uh".

[-] [email protected] -2 points 2 years ago

What?? You need to go back and re-read who said what. I said it is ideological. It's the other guy who said that it's not.

Are ... you replying to the wrong user? Oh gods, do you think I"m ... him? 🤮

[-] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

Oh dear, I'm sorry about that.

It's okay. In retrospect, I wasn't called on to be so aggressive in my response to him. I should have just immediately blocked and moved on, but I let it get under my skin.
