I wonder if the Lemmy liberals are going to call you a transphobic troll for this comment

This post isn’t about a ban. It’s about the rules being selectively enforced. It’s about the ban Cowbee didn’t get.

Well we’re not on .ml right now, so I’m fine with arguing

Your reputation provoked it. People know who you are.

Jumping to the conclusion that if I don’t like you personally, I must hate all leftists. It was mean.

I know you by reputation. You act like this all the time. It doesn’t matter if you’re provoked. You do it because you know the mods won’t punish you for it.

Is that not a bit hypocritical, when you claim to be upset at me for implying you aren’t a Leftist?

Sure it is. We’re both hypocrites. We both know it’s wrong to accuse fellow leftists of not being leftists, and we both did it anyway.

If you don’t want to call that being pro-Dem

I sure don’t. America uses First Past The Post. The mathematics of the FPTP system are better represented by the idea of voting against than voting for. Voting for democrats doesn’t support them, but it opposes Trump. Abstaining is a refusal to oppose Trump. Telling other people not to oppose Trump is supporting Trump. Telling other people to oppose Trump isn’t supporting Democrats.

You’ve had this argument a million times and you never learned anything. That’s why I think you’re a troll and a sealion. Your intention is to waste other people’s time. You like to argue. You like the challenge, the conflict, the thrill. The process is more enjoyable and more important to you than the end result. Changing your mind would take away your ability to engage in the same process, because then you wouldn’t have the advantage of everyone you argue with being banned from .ml communities, giving you a symbolic victory and letting you feel proud that you’re a good debater. You want to dominate your opponent from within the rules of the game. It’s not about the future, it’s about the game. It’s a sport to you.

Okay, fair. I’m fine with having been banned. You should have been banned too.

If you don’t want people to call you a Trump supporter, you should try not calling people liberals when they argue we should vote against Trump. Live by the sword, die by the sword.

I’d be happy to have an argument without trolling, sealioning, and calling people liberals

I wasn’t being pro-dem, and you should give other people the benefit of the doubt. Someone having a problem with your ML talking points doesn’t mean they aren’t a leftist. You and the other .ml regulars pull this shit constantly. I’ve seen y’all do it a hundred times. You are mean and exclusionary to anyone who disagrees with you about the election, and then you cry foul when it’s done back to you, so clearly you know it’s not nice behaviour.

I don’t want to argue, but I do want to get the last word in, and I also want to explain that my reason for not arguing is that I know Cowbee by reputation and I refuse to be sealioned and trolled by him. I’d be very happy to say my piece without any sealioning and trolling, which is what I tried to make happen, but alas, once again he used the old “Why won’t you talk to me :(”, just like my ex does when she’s been drinking.

I did? I can only see one post from my instance. Both from my profile and from the community. Might be a federation issue?

My comment was against instance rule 2. Which to me suggests an admin must have done the ban. I hate that the .ml admins just number rules and don’t say whether they’re community or instance rules. It’s not transparent to the people who are banned, unless they put in a bunch of work to figure it out.

I intentionally broke rule 2, because .ml users do it all the fucking time. Cowbee does it in this screenshot. We’re both accusing each other of not being leftists. He doesn’t get punished for it. Why? Because he’s an ML and I’m an anarchist. ML users always call anarchists liberals, and it’s never dealt with. So I treat them the same way, and take my knocks for it. This post isn’t about a ban. It’s about the rules being selectively enforced. It’s about the ban Cowbee didn’t get.

You’re a very valid bird and I’m proud of you for having the courage to come out.

Right, so we both agree someone who says “I’m not a man or a woman, I’m a cat” is nonbinary. So why force queer people to live in reality when they say it hurts them? Sadism?

Otherkin showed up 100,000 years ago when modern homo sapiens developed. I seriously doubt you can isolate a single decade of queer acceptance so long ago.

You’re just engaging in the time honoured trope of calling something new because you, personally, didn’t know about it when you were young, and now you think learning about new kinds of people is scary. People said it about gay. They said it about bi. They said it about trans.

Okay, I’ll tell you what I assumed when you said that.

You think all catgender people are the gender they were assigned at birth. Male to cat? That’s a man. Female to cat? That’s a woman.

This is a logical deduction. You said catgender people aren’t queer. That means they can’t be trans, and can’t be nonbinary. This is the consequence of you saying that.

And I am begging you to take it back and allow catgender people to identify as nonbinary.

But the helicopter pasta was written by a transphobe. The litter boxes never existed. Conservatives just made that shit up. It doesn’t matter if real people have those identities, transphobes are going to attack you anyway.

Do you think you can appease the fascists by excluding the people the fascists hate more than you?
