I'm just asking questions. You seem to be enjoying engaging with me while hating everything I say.
I am quite certain you have zero curiosity about me as an individual but I am asking because I am genuinely curious why you choose to engage. I do so with crass because I do not respect you.
I believe I understand why you are engaging with me here, you think yourself clever and smarter than anyone who doesn't adhere to your ideology. Feel free to correct me. This is a general "tankies do be like that every time," vibe.
So what are you getting out of this and why do you downvote and then respond with a question, that you then downvote? Are the downvotes because it's the only power you have in an otherwise powerless life?
I am very certain there is no genuine curiosity because you are on an instance that enforce group think. Also because, tankie and feel free to correct me.
"I’m just asking questions" --sib after making a statement ~2 sentences ago ("Only tankies.")
I'm not asking if they are tankie. Learn to read if you're going to jump into threads.
yeah, i'm saying that it's a statement, stating that they are a tankie, and not a question, asking if they are tankie. since it's a statement, i am saying that when you say "I’m just asking questions", that is false, because you made a statement, which is not a question. learn to read before telling people to learn to read!
I am asking why they are interacting the way they do. Nothing to do with being a tankie.
Detecting tankies is easy. I can tell you're one too because you're so hung up on the label.
...disengage
not reading all that from 'hey what's your dick doing right now?' guy
