    That’s… not what they are saying. They are critiquing the strategy. If nazzis and I agree 1+1 makes 2 that doesn’t mean we’re all Nazzis.

    I don’t understand why so many struggle with addressing the message and are so eager to shoot the messenger. It’s weird but really common on Lemmy.

        I don’t even know what your point is.

        There is no deep philosophy or logical argumentation going on here.

        All we’re telling you is someone pointed out why the strategy doesn’t work to change minds and the only thing you can come up with is “hurr durr nazi”.

        You have some growing to do it seems.

          I don’t even know what your point is.

          Okay, let me try and help. You said this:

          If nazzis and I agree 1+1 makes 2 that doesn’t mean we’re all Nazzis.

          Now, we’re going to count many examples you used to illustrate your point:

          I counted one, and this was it right here:

          If nazzis and I agree 1+1 makes 2 that doesn’t mean we’re all Nazzis.

          Using a single example to make a point of comparison is dumb. Because one could just as easily say that I breathe air, and similarly, so do hamsters, therefore- I must be a hamster.

          Demonstrably, this is untrue. And it’s a dumb argument to make. And it’s not the argument I made. I simply said that calling upon a similarity shared with Nazis isn’t going to make the point one would probably wish to make.

          (And the plural of Nazi is “Nazis.” Don’t be afraid to spell their name correctly. It’s not for the purpose of showing respect to them, it’s showing respect to the person that has to read what you’re saying)

            You’re really hung up on the debate bro argumentation and seem to be intentionally missing the point everyone is trying to convey to you.

            Get over yourself man. No one is giving you a hand job for your superior intellectual acumen.

              NO IM NOT!

              and seem to be intentionally missing the point everyone is trying to convey to you.

              Which is?

              Get over yourself man.

              Done!

              No one is giving you a hand job for your superior intellectual acumen.

              Well now that’s fucking disappointing. I thought for sure there’d be some kind of reward for having to deal with some random’s little White Knight complex. I mean, you barged in here to the defense when you weren’t even called upon! Should I have just conceded right there and fed your horse for you?

              Debate bro indeed.

                No man, all the og poster was saying was that the downvote strategy has no effect. That’s all they said.

                And the best you could come up with is

                “hurr durr nazi”.

                And when multiple people tried to clarify to you how you missed the point you instead doubled down and started talking about logic and how arguments don’t follow. Which brings me back to the first thing I wrote:

                don’t shoot the messenger. Shoot the message

                This is like the third time I’ve explained this. I’m done. Bye.

      We aren’t allowed to critique strategy or work together to better ourselves or our plans with outside views that allow us to see and adjust to match an ever changing world…

      That would be so bad for my social media feed. The algorithm would have to completely relearn what I like and that would be a hassle.
