I am not dismissive of others' views whatsoever. In this case people were constantly misrepresenting my words either through stupidity, laziness, or by deliberation.
Not dismissive:
You are either intellectually dishonest (didn't properly read and understand what has been said and filled the gaps with your own story, then refuse to accept the fact that you have done so), too mentally impaired to understand what I've said, or plain evil and a manipulator.
You idiots are making up points of your own and pretending that they were mine.
There will be no repercussions for me, because I understand very well that the overwhelming majority is evil, delusional, ego-tripping, or just plain retarded.
If you however, act in real life as you do on here, you'll be the one eating shit when it proverbially hits the fan.
I'm telling them to shut the fuck up and seek out incremental improvements in their own life-style.
Ok, even if I allow you are not making a political argument, as you assert - how is your argument well-made?
You seem to argue that if someone is suffering from ANY injustice they should have no recourse; they should just ‘shut the fuck up’?
If in their state (for example) their politicians are corrupt, they are stolen from or repressed and they have no recourse to the rule of law as the police are corrupt too - then they should never complain, but just ‘seek incremental improvements’ rather than bother anyone who else who might perhaps be happily in an arguably more free and more privileged position, such as the one in which you and I are?
I am not seeking to attack you, but the flaws in your arguments and the way you seek to win them. You have seemed reasonable and I thought posted well until this point. Now you are coming across in a way that seems ill-considered, angry, elitist, dismissive and self-righteous.
Shouting louder does not make you right. Also, dismissing all ‘complaints’ wholesale without exception is by definition blind prejudice, which is unreasonable.
Someone wanting to advocate for others in a way you do not agree with is not automatically 'retarded' or 'evil, nor do they have to ‘eat shit’ or be an object of your overbearing disdain. This is plainly over the top.
We are all at least loosely aligned here in the respect we are fans of Bitcoin (with one out two exceptions I can think of). I know my own views are not wholly shared, but I rarely challenge the opinions of others I disagree with unless they step over the line into angry vitriol to make a point which may well be a valid opinion, but is not a
fact.
Lastly:
But by that line of reasoning you're all Hitler and Jews.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Godwin%27s_law'…there is a tradition in many newsgroups and other Internet discussion forums that, when a Hitler comparison is made, the thread is finished and whoever made the comparison loses whatever debate is in progress.'
Now, if you will excuse me, I am off to take your advice and seek out incremental improvements to my lifestyle, which is something I would happily advocate to others - just not in the way you do.
Have a nice day.
My argument would appear more well made if you didn't cherry pick from a single post at the end of a lengthy exchange, not that I expect you to dig through the thread to get the whole picture if you didn't catch the original exchange a few days ago.
I never compared anyone directly to Hitler by the way (which should be obvious even without former context given that nobody calls people Hitler
a Jew in the scenarios you draw from), so I'll kindly excuse myself from responding to your post in detail, as it shows a clear lack of understanding of the matter at hand.
