I think that for some people, disrupting the comments and slinging random hostility (and making people think that if they express a “liberal” point of view they’ll be personally attacked) is the goal.
Obviously this person isn’t actually trying to promote the point of view they are saying. Or at least, we can say that sticking around to this point yelling at everyone and making a mockery wouldn’t serve that goal very well. However, making the comments section hostile and unbearable is a goal that is currently being achieved pretty effectively for anyone who scrolls down to see this little section of it.
You’re probably right on most counts. I don’t really mind making the comments section hostile in this way though. It’s all relegated to a single comments replies, and that comment is through the floor karma wise, so you’d have to hit the bottom of the comments to see it anyway. My only goal was to mildly annoy someone being insufferably self righteous for my own amusement, which I feel like I have accomplished. Hope it didn’t bug you too much, but sometimes people just need to be repeatedly told to fuck off 🤷
Oh I entirely agree. Just ceding the narrative space to them is 100% not the right way to go about it.
If it helps you in any way, I recommend not taking them all that seriously. Dismissing them or laughing at them is usually a better way to go about it in my opinion than letting them get to you. But certainly saying something is better than nothing, I think.
For magats, I normally just use their own bad faith tactic against them. For other brands of douche like this guy, engaging with their arguments is what they want, because they want desperately to be validated by proving to the world (mostly themselves) that they are smarter and the most righteous and virtuous person in the thread. Simply refusing to engage or take them seriously almost immediately causes them to devolve and show their true colors. In this case, “everyone that doesn’t agree with me is a fascist bot”.
They said, while arguing. Seriously, the number of dipshit clowns who don’t understand what liberalism is, what a norm is, and probably themselves have never been subject to the Hatch act is fucking hilarious.
Its practically a meme for shitlibs to not even understand the principals the ape for, so thanks for participating.
Right? I expect this type of shitty rhetoric from MAGATS, but it’s even more annoying when it’s someone that I probably agree with on most issues. Like, bro, stop being so thin skinned. You’re never gonna have any allies if you act like this when someone is slightly right of you, it’s pathetic.
Every fucking shitlib who spent the previous 30 years making apologies for not passing laws by insisting that the “norms” would hold. There is no law preventing an appointee to the USDA from posting the above message. Do you know why?

The Hatch act is why. And the only reason the above message is allowed to exist is because of the liberal expectation that the norms would hold.
This thread is basically people who have never been subject to the Hatch act, have no idea of its contents or who it apply to, or why it is relevant or irrelevant in this context. I’ve had to sign the dotted line regarding the Hatch act no fewer than five times, and have had to repeatedly go through tedious training on the Hatch act, establishing what kinds of political speech I can or can’t engage in, depending on the position or role.
The downvote brigading is quite literally hilarious, and I revel in their ignorance. It just further and further highlights my initial point. Shitlibs with shitlib takes don’t know what they are talking about.
I mean probably, but also, this is such a shitlib ass take.
“Oh no not the Hatch act! Won’t SOMEBODY think of the norms!?!”

You might add a “sensitive” to the front of that. Man has been ranting for half an hour over two words

Just keep telling him to fuck off, apparently he will just keep going 😂
I gotta admit it’s pretty funny how butthurt they over getting called out for being a dipshit.

Clown brigade that continuously demonstrates they don’t know their ass from a hole the ground is the hilarious part.

anyone who uses “lib” in the same sentence, is no better than a conservative saying it.
