    I really, really, really hate the phrase “Oh sweet summer child”. Is it possible to be any more patronizing? Couldn’t you just say it normally?

      Not that I care about either of you guys or your argument, but I gotta point out that it’s a phrase intended to be insulting and condescending. You’re just letting the other guy know they got to you by writing this.

        Based, but I never denied that. I gave them the benefit of the doubt because I’ve unironically seen people saying stuff like this without realizing that it has a negative connotation.

          I guess the fact that you were more willing to believe that Black people have a natural inclination towards drug use than to understand that cops are bad leads me to the conclusion that you aren’t a great person with smart ideas, and didn’t see the necessity in being super nice about it when responding to you.

          I could have laid into you for the racist-leaning narrative, but instead I insinuated that you were naïve, so truthfully I did give you the benefit of a doubt in regard to the racially insensitive question you asked.

              I asked specifically because I knew there had to be a better explanation.

              You asked a racist question because you thought there was a non-racist answer? I kinda understand what you mean here, but those are some horrible optics that still involve you asking a racist question.

              Fuck me for wanting to learn from other people in a conversational manner and not researching like I was preparing for a debate

              No, just don’t ask questions with racist implications, such as suggesting that Black people are intrinsically more likely to use drugs.

              Fuck you!

              Calm down. If you have a problem with being called out for saying racist things, join Truth Social.

      Literally every argument on Lemmy and Reddit reads like two extremely smarmy atheists who think they know everything trying to convince the world that they’re mega smart and their interlocutor is a dumbass. It’s pretty unbearable.
