You were saying shiity things out of the gate. If you're walking on the street and someone is yelling ignorant shit and you call them cringe, who is the person in the wrong there? Stop playing the victim, it's pathetic.

And let's not act like civility is morality. If you can't realize you can be an asshole without directly calling someone names then you're beyond naive.
- You were saying shiity things out of the gate.
  
  No, you THOUGHT what I said was shitty. But it wasn't directed to you. And I didn't think it was shitty. YOU think it's shitty. And that's your right. But then you called me a name.
  
  So yeah, let's use your scenario. You're walking down the street, you hear someone yelling what you think is ignorant shit, and you call them cringe. Then they stop, turn around and defend themselves to you, and then you say they are mean and shouldn't have said that.
  
  You are the one playing victim here, not me. You said I was a troll because I responded to your insults.
  
  How about you don't insult people just because you don't agree with what they said?
  
  I have never called you names. You have called me names.
  
  You think that's cool. I don't think it's cool and I think it weakens your argument.
  
  "I love how much drama she's causing."
  
  That is cringe as fuck. Especially if you're an adult.
  
  And in your scenario you're still wrong lol. I walk down the street and hear someone yelling and call them cringe. If they feel the need to come over and defend that to a random stranger that makes them even more cringe. How weird.
  
  Cringe to you. But I do love how much drama she's causing. She made the dems so scared they financed a fucking commercial about there. I'm all for anything that shakes up the status quo.
  
  You seem to be seeing "cringe" everywhere you look. That's a "you" problem, not a "me" problem, friend. Thank you! :)
  
  So you love drama and you're excited that people are scared and worried about their future. You just like to shake things up like an cool anarchist.
  
  Yeah dude, I called it right.
  
  And nah, haven't called anyone cringe in a while, but the word just fits so well here.
  
  I love political drama in the news, yes. And other people do too, that's why it's in the news. That's how news orgs make their money. They report on drama, then get clicks, then get paid.
  
  I'm not scared of Trump. I don't care if he wins (I don't think he will though). I don't like him. I don't like Harris. So again, I like Jill Stein. Even tho I didn't vote for her.
  
  You think it's cringe. Cool. But that doesn't make me a troll. That just makes me a person you are annoyed with. That's a different thing.
  
  Yes and lots of people are racist. Just because a lot of people do something doesn't make it good. Take a look at what drama is, the anxiety, stress, and pain it can cause people who are actually tied up in it. I think it's fucked up to like that shit honestly.
  
  You think you're not a troll. Cool. Doesn't make what I said any less true. It just makes me a person that said something you're annoyed with. That's a different thing. Hrmmm...
  
  But it also doesn't make what you said any more true. You gave your opinion. I gave you mine. You called me names. I didn't call you names.
  
  And if you think calling someone names is some line that is crossed I don't know what to say. I could be very, very mean to someone without calling them names but if they tell me to "stop you jerk" they're somehow worse or distinct? That's a really odd distinction but ok, you're welcome to your own world view.
  
  And if you think calling someone names is some line that is crossed I don’t know what to say.
  
  And if you think that calling people names is NOT crossing a line in a forum, then I don't know what to say.
  
  We have different opinions on that. Obviously.
  
  Wait. So if I say to someone: "You seem very uneducated and unable to understand the most basic of concepts. I'm trying to talk to you and you sound like you've never had an intelligent conversation before. You sound like you've never talked to a person older than 5. I could explain this to my 10 year old and he could teach it to you. Would that be more your speed? You look like you can even begin to understand a single word I'm saying. You're lack of basic reasoning is hurting everyone around you and the world will be a better place when you're no longer in it."
  
  And they say "you're a jerk" they've crossed a line? Not me? Jeeze man, yeah we do have a difference of opions.
  
  I ain't scared of Trump neither, brother! He's helping our cause of ending democracy so the devil-jesus can return to his rightful place on the throne. Something about duopolies too!!
  
  Friend, once we end democracy, we can lock these people up! They cannot infringe on our rights like this. Shills unite!!!1
