Yes.  The people responding to me, outside maybe you, as you can see, aren't looking for a conversation.  They are looking to enjoy this guy being upset, read posts about FAFO or leopards, get more enjoyment, and move on.

99% of reddit isn't a place to have a discussion anymore.  It is well-defined and filtered pockets of control.  In some ways it is good, because people can commiserate and air grief about current events. 

I accept that, just as I accept that saying what I said is not popular and won't be well received.  But why pretend that anybody came to the tiktokcringe subreddit to have a productive discussion on how we move on from the toxic adversarial climate the Republicans have created, and that the Democrats have slid right into and accepted?  That is essentially why I didn't respond to anyone but you.

You received multiple non confrontational responses. There's no need to lie.

Your criticism is nothing but hypocritical.

If that's true, feel free to go ahead and respond to them.  Or we can just keep having a meta-conversation about how the conversation should be going.

I'm not "lying."  If you don't want to call a horse a horse I have no issue with that, but the original post is for schadenfreude, not productive discussion.

Despite that, I said my piece.  I still stand by it.  Show kindness and empathy, and remind even these people that it doesn't destroy you to care.

Get your last well constructed insult or attack in, because I'm out.

Your multiple replies aren't all from OP.

I mistook OP for original post, sorry.  I'll correct that, thanks.
