Its just an instance where tankies can exist in an echo chamber without having to critically think.

If you want you can read some of my comments here and watch these morons make fallacious argument after falacious argument, put words in my mouth, and project some person who makes similarly bad takes which exists inside their head onto me: https://lemmy.today/comment/17304484

    What they said was incredibly dumb, but a lot of this is just you masturbating and it doesn’t really help this person improve or really communicate anything helpful to anyone. Perhaps most importantly, there’s no reason to think them incapable of independent thought. The problem is that they are too comfortable not exercising it.

      No fuck that, if someone is in the habit of arrogantly pontificating on topics they haven’t even done the bare minimum of research, dunking on their ass is a good way to teach them humility and encourage them to either stfu or at least try and do some investigation before opening their pie hole. Being nice to ignorant people and jerking them off constantly just encourages their complacency.

      calls someone a worm

      purpleworm takes exception to it

      pottery.

      I apologize on their behalf, comparing that poster to a worm is an insult to perfectly fine, upstanding worms. I assume, even without investigation, that snakes and caterpillars are among them. I even know a worm who’s a doctor (not a real doctor but he is an actual worm)
