let us talk about the complexity instead without everyone flattening it to thought terminating cliches. this isn't Twitter, you can't even pretend to be propagandizing because people following you are already at least to that point if they stay around through that.
don't just strafe the boat.
which means if people don't know yet, just shouting it isn't going to do anything but make it clear you didn't understand the OP very well
edit: the problem isn't the commentary occasionally, it's that it's incessant from a few accounts, as it is on Twitter and mastodon.
instead of just doing this through edits let's clarify here in a new post: I don't care that it happens sometimes. but when every day I deal with 5-10 of these, it's pretty bad! I don't want to block fellow travellers but please learn that not everyone here is an adversary. this isn't Twitter.
its not great when words are put in my mouth implying I mean the opposite of what I'm talking about. the point of the above post isn't that people shouldn't post, it's that I'm asking people to do a little bit more intellectual work when interacting with my posts than implying no one would do [thing you've either not bothered to read or have decided is something else] and then telling me the problem is capitalism as if that isn't the mindset I'm working from.
The problem is, also, that anything I post can get this treatment. so i just post less.
I'm simply asking people to take two minutes and check if, perhaps, that was the point of what you're sharing. because this is getting absurd. If i wanted that I'd simply post on Twitter, where I already know good faith discussion is worthless and my first two posts of any thread have to contain clarifications or I'll be dogpiled by people who aren't bothering to look into the parts they're unsure about.
please, don't be like the people who say "its trump" every time I describe widespread aspects of fascism.
My patience is gone and I'm sharpening my blocks. Is it weed? alcohol? i don't care. you've postered my front door.
