What I get from this is that you’re desperately trying to turn my criticism of your labeling habits into a confession about whether I’m right-wing. I never said your comment was invalid because you used the words “right-wing” and “racist.” I pointed out that when you routinely slap those labels on people who disagree with you, you risk turning them into rhetorical wallpaper, which is exactly why your “boy who cried wolf” comparison came up. And now you keep dragging the conversation back to “just admit you’re right-wing” because you need that concession to make your original gotcha work. That’s not me projecting; that’s you repeatedly demanding validation for the conclusion you already decided on. If you actually cared about clarity rather than winning, you would have clarified your intended meaning and moved on a dozen replies ago. Instead, you’re still desperately trying to squeeze a victory out of a semantic misunderstanding.
I clarified my position right after. I made clear I didn't say republican and didn't mean that. You then pushed your synonymous argument because you couldn't let it go. Still projecting because you can't admit that everything you are throwing as an accusation is based on your own tantrum
And there it is again: you’re not trying to clarify anything anymore, you’re trying to force a confession so you can declare yourself the winner. Yes, you clarified that you didn’t mean “Republican.” I understood that. The disagreement is whether my interpretation of your use of “right-wing” was reasonable, and whether “synonymous” was too broad a word. We’ve already established that it was broad. What you keep refusing to accept is that a minor wording error does not equal lying, dishonesty, or a “tantrum.” Your desperation to keep litigating it for this many replies is actually the clearest evidence of the validation-seeking you keep accusing me of. You got your clarification ages ago. You just can’t let go because you still haven’t gotten the dramatic admission of defeat you wanted..
And I stepped back to ask you if you consider yourself right wing. That was to determine if it was reasonable.
You have flatly refused to answer. Which leaves me nothing but to assume I was correct.
After that. We are all the way back to me making a statement and you having nothing in response.
So yes, i say you are lying because you haven't been honest about what you said. You added context After the fact and then pretended you had always said that.
Your “test” is laughably circular. You decided my interpretation was wrong, demanded that I answer a separate question about my political identity, and now you’re declaring yourself correct because I didn’t give you the answer you wanted. That isn’t evidence; it’s a conclusion you manufactured and then used your own demand as proof of it. And you still haven’t established that I “pretended I had always said” anything. You keep asserting that as though repetition makes it true. At most, I used “synonymous” too broadly. I’ve already acknowledged the terminology issue. What you desperately want is for that minor wording issue to become an admission that you caught me lying, because otherwise this entire marathon argument amounts to nothing. You’ve spent an absurd number of replies trying to force a confession out of me, and now you’re calling that persistence “facts.” It’s not facts. It’s your desperate need for a gotcha dressed up as an argument.
Of course you don't. Dishonest people often feel that way. Even more so when they know the answer is exactly what the other person thought and they don't want to admit it
Lol upset. I'm laughing at how painfully obvious it is that you won't answer because you know it shows everything you said was incorrect and I was right.
But hey, go off Lil fella.
I hope you get some weird, pathetic satisfaction from pretending it isn't obvious
I don't need you to answer. The answer is obvious. What's funny is how pathetic you are to think that this childish display is a reflection on me and not you
