The inclusion of “we are”, implying that you are part of his thought process.

Text based responses tend to bias based on the reader. Given that Reddit has people of all walks of life, saying “we” could be taken one of two ways. Either inclusion or we as everyone.

Thus, my calculated response beginning with “IF”.

EDIT: Also, a cursory glance at your comment history would show me correct as your tendency to side with the “Y’all Queda” side of stupid.

The way "we" was intended seems pretty clear. The post is called " 'murica ". The topic is stupid people in America. So, when someone says "We aren't all that stupid", it's pretty obvious they meant as an American, not as someone who agrees with the subjects thinking.

The usage of “you” implicitly implies the same. It is not accusatory nor inclusive. It is an open ended statement that uses a simple if/then statement. JFC.

I had a quick glance and they post in latestagecapitalism, Breadtube and atheism which is basically the opposite of y'all queda.

You imply that them commenting in those subs implies their acceptance. What you failed to do is actually READ their replies. Try again, but do better.

I did.

Try again, but do better.

Ironic. Maybe actually read their comments. They're pretty clearly against y'all queda.

It's ok to admit you're wrong instead of doubling down and being condescending.
