This was from a comment waaaaay down-thread earlier this week, on a post about California Secession (a wedge issue backed by Russia). Thought you’d find it interesting.

You started off by saying that you would physically attack someone that leans in the same direction as you because "being called a liberal". Your started this entire thread off in a pretty negative way. Why are you surprised you got pretty negative responses to it?
I wasn't being mean to you because your a socialist, I was being mean because you were being a general asshole much like every other ML socialist I've ever interacted with.
You guys need to remember the Golden Rule. Treat other people the way you want to be treated. You want people to respect you? Then try being nicer and more respectful to others. This isn't complicated.
I also said “kill me now”, I hope you didn’t send a hit man to my house.
It was an exaggeration to show how much a person on the left dislikes being associated with liberals, especially now, from a lefty himself. It was meant to show how untrue the first assumption was.
You can be aggressive and offensive, it’s okay I don’t care (I kinda like it 👀) but at the very least attack the idea not the person.
Dismissing someone for being a “bot” just ends all kinds of discussion, it’s pointless and stupid. It shows you can’t even debate a clanker.
