Ah yes, insulting me as if my answer were dishonest otherwise? Listen to yourself trying to manipulate this situation as if you were somehow in the right. I would have had a conversation with you and you bothered to reiterate your point in good faith, but here we are wasting bandwidth with you somehow having to insist on “winning”…whatever that is here. Have fun man. I’ve run out of bytes to give.
No, you wanted to be hostile from the start. And you still never actually answered the question. Dodging the point and the question is manipulation. Doing so repeatedly does seem dishonest.
You didn’t like my answer and furthermore refused to engage in a discussion. That’s all there is to it. I stopped giving a flying f about what you wanted to know as soon as it was apparent you were in this discussion for yourself. You want to be right, not engage in a discussion about what is right. Fuck off at this point.
I have not refused to engage in discussion. You gave an anecdote about yourself instead of answering my question about the percentage that mellow was talking about. I acknowledged your anecdote and asked my unanswered question again. You are avoiding the question because you know answering it will show that your initial quip was off. Mellow wasn’t saying that wanting those things was selfish. Don’t cry about insults. Every negative turn in this conversation has been initiated by you.
This far down, and you keep demanding that someone answers you about why “they” are liberals, behaving as if the universe owes you answers.
Sympathetic with your deluded but apparently honest ignorance, @RememberTheApollo_@lemmy.world did their best by sharing an anecdote that demonstrates that, while possible that “they” are liberals because the issues directly impacting “them”, that may not necessarily be the case.
Alas, it was then that we came to find that you just wanted to hear yourself talk while petulantly dismissing others’ thoughts.
The story developed unexpectedly however, as this behaviour was accurately and immediately pointed out, and this led to a series of increasingly irate comments, likely caused by a mounting sense of frustration stemming from the inability to rebuff such accurate criticism. We’re sure to see an escalation from the passive aggression initially being employed into more open and direct insults, as a welling sense of dread about being outwitted threatens to set in.
Are you special? Because you seem to have missed that the original “they” and the “they” offered in Apollo’s anecdote were not the same or comparable. Apollo never engaged with sympathy. I asked a question that they didn’t answer. I asked it again politely and they started getting rude. I am not demanding an answer I’m pointing out that they just never actually answered.
Or you could have answered the question I asked instead of offering an irrelevant personal anecdote.
Well, keep talking to yourself, bro. Your answers are the only ones you want to hear.
Keep dodging the point you know I’ve made. I’ll want to hear your answer if you ever give an on topic honest one.

You’re a special kind of person, aren’t you?
