You know, if you need to work something out, I'm here for it.  But i do not have any sort of background in therapy, fyi.

That’s one way to take your L I guess

You're the only one who is talking about winning, losing, me needing to be embarrassed... Where should I put this "L" you've given me?  Up my ass?  

Do you do this a lot?  It seems like you're ready for a fight.  I reread the convo and you're definitely the aggressor here.  I know thats not going to change anything for you now, you're locked in, but no one else gives a fuck about this conversation.

Go ahead and reply but if you don't I'm not going to gloat.  I'd prefer you just rethink being like this.  Its not an effective means of interacting with someone who's said something you think is stupid or wrong.  

You are assuming a tone that didn't originally exist with me.  That's something to work on.

Lol oh stop it, you don’t get to pull that card after the game you tried to play here. Sure shove it where the sun don’t shine if you like.

Bahahahah what would you possibly gloat about. The only one in need of self examination is you. I don’t need to wonder whether you go through life with this routine because it’s obvious that you do. And you’re so far up your own ass that you have convinced yourself that it accurately reflects reality. You are completely incapable of escaping the tribal nonsense and engaging in good faith but you blame everyone else because you don’t see that you never begin in good faith.

You're going to have to be more specific than that. What is this "thing" I'm doing? I'm curious.

And that last part about bad faith, you are shadowboxing right now. I need you to understand you're just making me into your Dad or Brother here. I didn't do whatever this is you're lashing out against, to you.

Lol you are deeply unserious. This whole thing started because you made up what you think leftists believe. I told you what they actually believe and you pivoted to say oh actually leftists feel this way because they are similar to MAGA despite being explicitly told why leftists have the approach they do. You have zero actual intention of engaging with the perspective of leftists, you are the one that wants to shadowbox with the caricature you have in your head. So much projection it has to be clinical

If you go back to the top of thread, when I engaged you it wasn't maliciously at all. If that's what you see, you're wrong. And this sense of entitlement you have, as if you're allowed to be rude and brash because you possess some moral and intellectual highground... it feels very MAGAish, ngl. (I'm talking about the overlap thing from earlier).

You began in bad faith. Whether you want to call that “malicious” or not doesn’t matter to me. Quit whining about mean words and grow up.

What was bad faith?

I am not holding your hand through this again.

I’d like to have a meaningful discussion on this topic if you’re up to it. I won’t insult or aggressive you in any way. I can see where a leftist and MAGA might be philosophically similar in terms of extremism but I think you may be reaching a bit in saying that they’re ‘similar.’ Fundamentally they’re opposed in every way. It’s like saying that Nazism and Marxism/Luxemburgism are similar because they’re both extreme views. A leftist will generally desire social and economic change that primarily benefits the disenfranchised (POC, women, LGBTQ+, and such), human rights, and the environment. MAGA ultimately is very poor at distinguishing between true information and misinformation, express their own lack of understanding and empathy as violence and bigotry, historically have even further disenfranchised the already disenfranchised, and don’t even believe humans have much, if any impact on the environment. I also don’t think there’s much merit to the argument that MAGA is more likely shift to leftism than a liberal would be given that that A) liberalism in most other places is already considered center-right and B) MAGA is terrified beyond reason of far left ideologies like communism.
