      Generally speaking, the idea isn’t to yell at the shitlibs unless they’re saying shitlib things. When they’re being polite enough you just hit them with history.

          Mhmm. Because the British Empire didn’t repeatedly use artificial famines as a weapon, and the American-caused Great Depression and breadlines aren’t synonymous.

          Because no one starves, or is homeless, right now, in America. Because Republicans aren’t so caught up in Supply Side Jesus they literally want children to go hungry if their parents can’t afford a school lunch.

          I’ll give you this, though. Blind ideological thinking is dangerous.

          Ignoring reality, history, and science, the way you have to to pretend capitalism is a good thing, or to create Lysenkoism, just never works out.

          You either starve a million people or burn the world to death.

            Dude what is it with this style of arguing of listing off a bunch of things I never said? Like you’re creating this entire argument, all by yourself, then grandstanding like you’re making some kind of important statement.

            Step off your soap box buddy

      For the purposes of this thread, I’m a commenter on Lemmy who’s tired of overtly hostile users harassing anyone who doesn’t align with their chosen stance.

          No, youre just a dick that has to pick a fight in every conversation you have like it’s your only personality trait. And exactly the type of user that’s killing communities all over Lemmy.
