lol… and there’s the persecution fetish. If you’re not MAGA, you really need to be aware of the similarities you share with them.

You appear to dislike the same things, and somehow manage to think you’re unfairly persecuted for the dumb shit you do, which shows you’re not very self-aware. All you need is an ignorant take on how things work- which it seems you possess, and a complete dismissal of reality which you’ve shown here today, one is left to believe that it’s not a stretch to assume you’re fully dug in and entrenched within MAGA programming

Pratai, it's pretty obvious that @djsaskdja@reddthat.com comes at this from a left-wing position.

I have no dog in this fight, but he's not MAGA.

[–] Pratai@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago (1 children)

You’re free to believe this. I believe otherwise.

[–] Skavau@piefed.social 2 points 2 days ago (1 children)

This argument then is going absolutely nowhere. I suggest you just stop posting replies to him if you assume he's lying to you about everything. I'll just note this response by him:

"Responsible for perpetuating a political philosophy that’s influenced a generation of smug know-nothing neoliberal trash that’s done nothing but continue the US down a trajectory of stagnation and will help usher in a century of humiliation and genocide."

A MAGA would not say this.

You weren’t here during the election I’m assuming. I’ll do as you say, as it is your community to manage. But I believe that clown is as MAGA as they get.

[–] Pratai@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I was here prior to, and during the election when a lot of these MAGA clowns were yelling at everyone to vote third party and to boycott voting democrat. They fit perfectly within the far left demographic, using their argument to do whatever it took to stop people from voting against tyranny.

I'm really not interested in going down the rabbit-hole here on this with this user - but I have no reason to believe they're lying. I suspect I could probably look into this users posting history and confirm consistency here, but speaking generally - opposition to democrats/centrists/liberals (insert any other terms you like) also comes from the some of the left. Hell, if you're on Lemmy you must be well aware of this given some of its more controversial instances are full of them.

You might consider them useful idiots, or you might not. But they are genuine. But the broader point is that there's not much point going at it with a user who you think is just lying to you.

[–] Pratai@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago

Fair enough. Consider it closed.

How about you engage with my arguments instead of accusing me of being associated with a hate group? Attack a person instead of their opinion is very MAGA of you. I can’t believe you’re secretly a MAGA supporter. Can’t believe I didn’t notice until now! I’m not being persecuted, but you are being a removed. And it’s bullshit when I’m not allowed to call you a removed when you’re clearly being one. That’s what I’m complaining to the mod about.

[–] Pratai@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (1 children)

ROFL! And there it is, the tried-and-true MAGA™ “No I’m not! You are!” fallacy.

Bravo! You didn’t miss a single hoop! Your handlers trained you well!

[–] djsaskdja@reddthat.com -1 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I was just pointing out how ridiculous your tact is. Oh I don’t like this person, better call them MAGA! Anyone can do that. What was it you said about a duck? Think that could apply here too.

[–] Pratai@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I called you MAGA because I think you are. It has nothing to do with what I think of you as a person. I dislike many people. Not all of the are MAGA.

I call things as I see them.

You don’t get to rewrite my argument for me, as MAGA is known to do.

[–] djsaskdja@reddthat.com -2 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Okay man think whatever you want. It’s clear your opinion doesn’t have much value anyway. Or you’re just a troll. I kind of hope it’s the latter because that’d surprisingly be less pathetic. It was fun though. Have a good night.

[–] Pratai@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

Whatever you say; MAGA.
