Dude, you need to take a moment to breathe. People like me can be uninformed without being a "cultist." You've strawmanned people like me in an effort to win some kind of internet pissing contest, rather than just letting the information speak for itself.

Sometimes, people simply don't have all the information.

Edit: typo

Why say something about it if you are uninformed? Don't go into discussions or post about things you don't have a good grasp on, this should be obvious.

[–] Telorand@reddthat.com 2 points 10 months ago (2 children)

People who are uninformed don't know they're uninformed, and until you're given such information that shows you don't have all the facts, why would you assume you don't have a good grasp?

wtf, are you being serious right now? Why do you assume you do?

Listen, I don't want to resort to the type of condescending interaction that is so common on the internet - perhaps you don't realize the implications of what you wrote, or even what you wrote. If, however, you are sincerely arguing for some fucked up form of expertise by default, please let me know and I'll be happy to oblige.

Oh. I guess I might've done it anyway.

You're literally quoting Wikipedia as if it's an authority when it doesn't even qualify as a secondary source.

I'm not trying to undermine Wikipedias place on the internet, but they are far from an authority on any of the subject matter posted on the site.

So I picked a source I found concise. That's not a crime or proof that the information within is wrong.

I'm really tired of being gaslight on this issue. It's not about you in particular, but without fail there's always people ready to tell me that "ackchually the unions got everything they wanted without a strike!" It's so consistent.

Sorry, it was the latest information I knew. I'm fine being wrong.

To be honest, chalking anything positive up to Biden screams liberal cultist to me. Given that he betrays every promise he makes.

If you are able to change your mind when presented with information to the contrary then you are a very rare specimen indeed.
