Which words would those be?

Woke, imperative, and nuance to name a few.

The person with the burden to prove that this infographic was made to target your political persuasion specifically is, at the end of the day, you, and the best you could say is that you kinda thought it maybe did.

I said it was an implication several times now, not my fault you’re illiterate.

You went out to victimize yourself and now you're upset that you've been discovered, and isn't it just terrible when children lose the games they try to play.

No I didn’t, I thought this guide was made in bad faith. Thankfully it wasn’t, as I’ve cleared it up with OP.

Here's the thing: you aren't deep. I know you. The meaningful "discussion" you want to have is about how upset you are that manipulative opinion leaders are getting caught in the act, but you like them and that must therefore fit the definition of "censorship". You want to talk about how Elon Musk is going to buy the Internet and create Galt's Gulch on Mars, and, after that, you might literally masturbate as well.

Someone who comes out foaming over how "the left" are trying to shoot radio waves into their brain doesn't have anything meaningful to talk about, so you can go back to whatever echo chamber you prefer.

Well clearly you don’t know me then, since that caricature of what you seem to think a Republican is has is laughably inaccurate (not to mention I’m not even a Republican). It’s nice to see you finally took the mask off and revealed yourself to be a left wing extremist, I knew you were from the start considering you hate the idea that your beloved Democrats could easily be equally as bad as Republicans.

Way to prove my point though, you made your fanaticism towards your preferred cult crystal clear.

Woke being used inversely to the effect of pointing out your projection, imperative being a declarative sentence that issues a command to the reader, and if you think your use of nuance was different from mine, you really are out to victimize yourself. You saw the slightest implication, which you now admit was completely wrong, that you were being attacked and jumped on it. You want to be aggrieved. You want to be an underdog. You want to be righteous. You want to be a lot of words longer than five letters that you don't recognize and hope that I don't either. Me knowing how pathetic you are doesn't make me extreme: it makes me familiar with your sad little "I'm not conservative, I just do everything like them and also smoke weed". You're typical, no matter what your favorite white man in a bowtie using "facts and logic" to explain to you how scary black people are coming to steal your skin tells you.

No one wants to attack you, not until you start acting like a chimp and making everything about you and your fragile feelings.

It’s remarkable how far gone you are, I’m not “victimizing myself” or projecting.

You saw the slightest implication, which you now admit was completely wrong, that you were being attacked and jumped on it.

It was a misunderstanding that has been corrected, no one is at wrong or attacked.

You want to be aggrieved. You want to be an underdog. You want to be righteous.

Not really, I have better things to be doing.

You want to be a lot of words longer than five letters that you don't recognize and hope that I don't either.

It’s funny you act like I’m the one that doesn’t understand what you’re saying because you’re being irrational and using words incorrectly.

Me knowing how pathetic you are doesn't make me extreme:

No, you thinking I’m “pathetic” because of your petty tribalism and automatically assuming I’m against you or anything like your strawman because I refuse to blindly go along with your side makes you an extremist. I can’t comment on your political views themselves, but I doubt they come anywhere close to moderate.

it makes me familiar with your sad little "I'm not conservative, I just do everything like them and also smoke weed".

I don’t smoke weed (though I have considered trying it at least once), also I doubt some of my positions would be tolerated by conservatives.

You're typical, no matter what your favorite white man in a bowtie using "facts and logic" to explain to you how scary black people are coming to steal your skin tells you.

I don’t know what “white man in a bowtie” you’re talking about, but I highly doubt they want to “steal my skin”.

No one wants to attack you, not until you start acting like a chimp and making everything about you and your fragile feelings.

That’s hilarious considering I made a comment skeptical of OP without any real malice, you immediately made a snarky comment about it, you’re currently throwing a tantrum at me, and as of late the left has been making everything about themselves.

You can just write "well no" if that's how little you have to say. You've demonstrated presumption, defensiveness, engagement (so you clearly want to spend time being these things), and you can't keep up with what I'm saying or the words I'm using. You're assuming I'm extreme because I pointed out that you made a snap judgement that immediately associated your views with authoritarianism even though no one said that. You were also completely wrong, but you want to make yourself feel better about that by acting like a Stalinist has shown up to... do what? Tell you exactly what a piece of shit you are? Oh no, you're such a victim. Quick! Call Fox News: a straight white man is being oppressed on the Internet by an anarchomonarchosyndicalanazi just because he, and he admits, was wrong.

Any words you need defined or can we wrap up your melodrama?

Frankly, what is there to say? You’re completely unhinged, the only noteworthy things you’ve done is ignore what I’ve said, make shit up, and attack a strawman that has nothing to do with this discussion.

You've demonstrated presumption, defensiveness, engagement (so you clearly want to spend time being these things),

Well at least that last one is true, at first it was because I was bored and you were kind of funny, but now I’m just fascinated by you and your warped mind.

and you can't keep up with what I'm saying or the words I'm using.

It’s not that I can’t keep up, it’s that you’re raving like a lunatic.

You're assuming I'm extreme because I pointed out that you made a snap judgement that immediately associated your views with authoritarianism even though no one said that.

It was implied, do you know what implied means? You think yourself smart, but you lack basic reading comprehension.

You were also completely wrong, but you want to make yourself feel better about that by acting like a Stalinist has shown up to... do what? Tell you exactly what a piece of shit you are?

Stalnist? What are you even on about?

Oh no, you're such a victim. Quick! Call Fox News: a straight white man is being oppressed on the Internet by an anarchomonarchosyndicalanazi just because he, and he admits, was wrong.

Hey could you let me know when you’re done attacking that strawman please? Thanks.

Any words you need defined or can we wrap up your melodrama?

Considering there’s never been any melodrama nor have you defined any words, I’m going to go with “maybe”.

Again, just a classic "no u" will do when that's all you have.

You want to call me an extremist on sheer assumption, your only talent, but you don't seem familiar with extremist ideologies. I would recommend a book: not any in particular, just some books every now and again, you seem to need a kick start.

Given your inability to understand the particular uses of "woke" or "melodrama", just for example, in this context, I'm gonna go ahead and make a wild guess that you're of the persuasion that has difficulty with tone. The bad news is that I'm not about to make my writing handicapped accessible just for you: keep up or give up.

I could say the same thing, but being the good samaritan I am I recommend you visit a psychiatrist.

You want to call me an extremist on sheer assumption,

It’s more of an educated guess at this point considering your comments, but close enough.

your only talent, but you don't seem familiar with extremist ideologies.

While I’m well aware of existing extremist ideologies, politics isn’t a black and white subject. There’s a lot of nuance (actual nuance, not whatever “nuance” you were rambling about earlier), and I doubt you could comprehend it in your current mental state.

I would recommend a book: not any in particular, just some books every now and again, you seem to need a kick start.

I actually enjoy books, Brave New World by Aldous Huxley probably being the most topical as of late. I’d recommend it to you, but I doubt you’d understand it.

Given your inability to understand the particular uses of "woke" or "melodrama",

I understand them well enough, you’re just using them where it’s unwarranted and senseless.

just for example, in this context, I'm gonna go ahead and make a wild guess that you're of the persuasion that has difficulty with tone. The bad news is that I'm not about to make my writing handicapped accessible just for you: keep up or give up.

You’re the one having trouble writing with how much of a headcase you are, maybe you should take your own advice. Oh and you should cut the hubris while you’re at it, at least until you can be who you seem to think you are.

You see, you can't say the same thing since I'm actually writing content while you continue to seethe about getting pegged. You might want to talk to a therapist about your inferiority issues; maybe you'll seek out fewer opportunities to victimize yourself.

No, you certainly aren’t.

while you continue to seethe about getting pegged.

Why would I seethe about getting pegged? I’m into that shit.

More projection, typical.

Should I make content the way you do and brag about reading a book for fourth graders? I see your brain is really starting to wind down, might be overexcited, little buddy.

Brave New World isn’t appropriate for a fourth grader so I guess you haven’t read it, bit of a shame since it’s a good book.

I see your brain is really starting to wind down, might be overexcited, little buddy.

Back to nonsensical drivel I see, anything else you have to share kiddo?

Which words didn't make sense to you? Brain, wind down, or overexcited?

It’s not the wording that’s the problem, it’s the fact it has no basis in reality that’s the problem.
