How this vile, disgusting, and immoral behavior has become normalized in the United States is something our descendants will study in school, to the shame of our generation.”
A thread about US politics on a worldwide facing thing called the internet. On a platform that is by design decentralised.
You cannot fathom that this isn’t a restaurant, it’s the internet and people on the internet are from all over the world.
Even now you’re doubling and tripling down acting like I’ve interrupted some private discussion with your friends because the alternative makes you look incredibly silly.
No “private conversation with my friends” was interrupted. A public conversation was interrupted rudely, to the benefit of absolutely no one.
You don’t like my example, fine. Still, should you do this in public ANYWHERE on earth, you will be looked at with distaste.
I eagerly await you continuing to defend your lack of civility, because that’s what impolite people do.
Nobody holding a conversation here (or anywhere) will ever accommodate you, you will always feel left out and ostracized. Not because of where you are from, but because of what you are.
I should have responded to your contribution with “no shit”, and this is my mistake.
So, in closing, “People from other countries can’t vote for a US president? No fucking shit.”
A public conversation on the international internet, yes. You still seem to think that a public conversation can only involve specific parts of that public. It’s like you don’t understand the meaning of the word “public” or how the internet works.
Also given the fact that my comment has a positive ratio of upvotes, that would suggest your own theory about how I should be “looked at in distaste” doesn’t hold water, either.
Once again, pubic or private setting, you made an assumption and that assumption was incorrect.
I wish you knew what the word “our” means, let me try one more time because you are funny.
If you hear (or read) the word “our”, in public, private, on the internet, off the internet, at the gas station, at the bus stop, on your phone, or on your laptop…
…and it doesn’t pertain to you…
The speaker (or writer) is not referring to YOU.
Do you understand?
Also, your “upvote theory” is a logical fallacy known as “argumentum ad populum”; a theory is not necessarily true just because people think so. Sad… don’t do this. It’s irrelevant.
Now, remember! If you don’t know who “our” refers to, they aren’t speaking to you (or writing for you). If you DO know who they are referring to, and it’s not you?
No correction of “not me!!!” is necessary or desired. Ever. Anywhere. Under any circumstance. We know.
“Our house is on fire!!!” You… “not MY house”
You’re my very favorite, your correction has been corrected. Now go forth, and sin no more!

I mean, ignoring the fact that this is a completely nonsense statement, even by your own logic it falls apart because your [https://old.lemmy.world/comment/21069429](original comment) was:
*You’re both out of control, our parties should be dismantled and dissolved.
Next you’ll be trying to tell me that if someone address you directly and says “you”, they’re not actually talking to you.
Also, your “upvote theory” is a logical fallacy known as “argumentum ad populum”; a theory is not necessarily true just because people think so.
That would be true if my “upvote theory” was “I got more upvotes so what I said must be true”, but as a reminder you claimed:
should you do this in public ANYWHERE on earth, you will be looked at with distaste.
and the upvotes are in fact imperical data that the comment was not looked at with distaste. You should study up on your logical fallacies more, because you do not understand them.
I didn’t make any assumptions, just telling you how it works, friendo.
Why would I be embarrassed? You’re the one who doesn’t know, I am being kind by teaching you. :P
You assumed I was American and supported a certain political party. Did you forget?
No such assumption or claim was made at any time, please pay attention!
YOU were in a thread about US politics and President Trump, and acted like you don’t know what “our” means in that context.
You assumed that I was making an assumption. Don’t do that. If you did this in public, you would be treated with disdain in any civilized company.
A group of people are talking, you overhear “Let’s go to our favorite restaurant!”
You interject “It’s not MY favorite restaurant, don’t make assumptions.”
The speaker looks at you with contempt. “I wasn’t talking to you”.

You are arguing with the use of POSSESSIVE PRONOUNS.
Please look that up.
Human conversation is impossible without their liberal use. My use was accurate.
No nonsense statement was made. Stop challenging possessive pronouns.
Do you understand?
Should you do this anywhere on Earth, you will be loathed, forever.
Also, you don’t know what “imperical data” means. Understanding is lost to you.
Lastly, “you” is a word that you appear to be unfamiliar with. I encourage you to look it up! YOU can be PLURAL. Not YOU specifically.
What happened to you (in this case singular, not plural)?
Our conversation is a perfect example of why you (in this case plural, not singular only) should never challenge possessive pronouns!
Stop it.
“Our grandma died today…” you “NOT MY GRANDMA”
p.s. oh my god I was wondering who you remind me of and it just hit me… are you JORDAN PETERSON ???
“What does ‘our’ mean?” What do you mean by ‘you’?" and so on. Jordan, get off of lemmy!
