The self upvotes were thrown because the user loves to flag me whenever we have a debate and make my comments invisible. He also loves to do the same on other people with different political views, especially the small minnows. Then he proceeds to make comments "Ha, how do you like your capitalism now dumbass"? Please note, I have NEVER flagged her. Consider my self upvotes to be preemptive self defense.
As for insults, were did you see them? I said she loves Stalin. Maybe I am wrong, but judging from her comment history (see the indicative screenshots I placed above) I think I am not. But even if I am wrong, loving Stalin isn't an insult per se. It's just a political view. Also I called her trans which again I don't consider an insult and she herself has said she is one. Or do YOU consider the word "trans" to be an insult?
Honestly, the only thing that imo can be considered an insult is the "suck stalins dick" line, which I posted in another comment on this thread. But still, this is again more a comment on her political views rather than an insult if you ask me. True, I could have worded it differently and be less of a dick but still, not much of an insult XD
Have a fun day.
If you need proof for any of my claims (e.g. the flagging part) let me know. It's all on the blockchain :)
You may not consider "dumbass" or "you're a joke" as insults, I do though.
Your first comment here starts with the statement that you can't have a meaningful discussion with the user. Why even write that, and not ignore it? It's definitely not providing any value to this post. Don't you have a discussion going on about it elsewhere?
Regarding the user's opinion, I see USSR flags, yes, but no praise, quite the contrary. But as you don't even seem to understand the differences between Marxism and Stalinism it seems to me you've simply been triggered by the flag.
I totally forgot about these ones. Yep these can definitely be considered insults by some. I think they are facts but that's subjective. Fair enough
Why? Maybe because the post says "My question is, what would your arguments in it's defence be in light of this video?"
So I explain that from my pov I think discussing with her is pointless for the reason I explained.
She has posted a million times videos in various commens that claim why and how the USSR of Stalin is awesome. And shared them in a "look this cool video" way not a "this is a totally bs video " kind of way. This is proof enough for me that she loves Stalin and USSR. Maybe she changed her views since, maybe she is politically confused or maybe I am totally wrong.
So where's your argument for transphobia after watching the video?
Well, at least you consider it.
I would love to have a discussion but I will chose not to with you because it feels it's gonna be a total waste of time for both of us. The reasoning behind this is that I give you thorough long replies and all you do is just isolate the parts that fit your narrative without adressing any other of my points.
Have a fun day :)
Sorry, which of your arguments for joining this thread with a useless comment attacking the poster personally (with one unchangeable and one false claim) did I ignore?
Well, never mind, you started your engagement in this thread giving bogus reasons why you won't discuss seriously, makes sense to end it the same way.
You realized why the comments were flagged, that's more than I would have expected. I don't intend to change your opinions.
Again, you reply to only to what fits your narrative. Ok , let's be specific. Can you tell me what part of this comment contains an insult?
You won't find any. If you plan to come back with something like "i flagged because it doesn't deserve a vote" I explained you why I upvoted it right from the start. This is again something you ignored.
Please be specific. And by specific I mean something like "The word x is an insult because blah" or "The combination of words x and x is an insult"
I assume you used the combination trans and Stalin loving because of what you later said, Stalin would've killed her.
Without that explanation it's just offensive.
Now factor in that you're wrong about the political views of the person you talk to. What remains is you can't discuss because she's trans.
Saying that transphobia doesn't exist is not arguing the arguments of the video at all. Maybe you should watch it, he uses Greek philosophy ;)
