IzzyScissor , to asklemmy in What does the world think of India?

The two things that I think of when I think of India are that it’s way too overpopulated and also way too hot.

Aside from that, there are a lot of academics I’ve seen from India that are genuinely helpful on YouTube but also a lot of scams. Speaking English with an Indian accent almost instantly creates a sense of distrust in Americans simply with how many times we each personally have received scam calls or talked to someone in an Indian call center who swears their name is ‘Derek Johnston’ or other similarly fabricated name.

That’s not doing facial recognition though, that’s a reverse image lookup. It’s a lot easier to find an exact match for a photo.

He can go kick rocks. I’m trying to help you.

From an outsider perspective, it looks like you told him to “go respond to this guy instead”, but linked the same comment that it was already responding to. It was confusing and made you look like the asshole in the situation, which I’m trying to help prevent in the future.

Oof. Nevermind, then. Tried to show you why being an asshole about it might have backfired, but keep being jaded!

Apparently the way Lemmy’s link creation works makes all first-level replies to your comment the same link AS your comment. So, in providing the link ‘to be helpful’, you only linked to your own comment. That’s not actually helpful and so it doesn’t come across in the best way.

IzzyScissor , to news in Alex Jones’ personal assets to be sold to help pay Sandy Hook debt as judge decides Infowars’ fate

This is an image of Mark Barden, not Alex Jones, BTW. His son was killed during Sandy Hook.

IzzyScissor , to lemmyshitpost in math checks out

I’d imagine they include their off-hours in the ‘averages’.

“So crazy that we’re getting more calls when we’re open than when we’re closed!”

IzzyScissor , to aboringdystopia in Saw a nazi today

You misunderstand my point. Let me explain again.

I don’t care if they’re being genuine or not and don’t feel a need to prove it one way or the other. I will treat anyone who is defending Nazis as if they are genuinely Nazis themselves because at the end of the day, that’s what they’re pushing for, intentionally or not.

The damage this can cause does not change if it was intentional or not, so our reaction to it should not change either.

Their initial comment was complete nonsense, and sarcastic derision is one of the few things that actually upsets people like that who ignore the content of the conversation while also pretending to have the moral high ground. Their point is often to get people arguing amongst themselves instead of realizing they just shifted the conversation from “Here is a Nazi in Indiana” to “You can’t prove that Chinese speakers aren’t Nazis.” (Like we’re doing now.)

What would you have called them out for that fits better than moving goalposts or a strawman argument?

IzzyScissor , to aboringdystopia in Saw a nazi today

You admit that they were running interference for a nazi, but also want to give them the benefit of the doubt? Historians have a word for people who didn’t agree fully with, but still defended nazis. Want to know what they were called?

Nazis.

If you’re aligning yourself with them, running interference for them, I’m going to treat you as if it is intentional because the effect is the exact same. If it was an accident, there were plenty of opportunities to change opinions and apologize. That hasn’t happened, so all evidence we have points to the person defending Nazis being disingenuous here.

You have to make assumptions on people’s motivations either way. I’m just more willing to base my assumptions on how genuine someone is being whether or not they are running interference for Nazis.

IzzyScissor , to aboringdystopia in Saw a nazi today

I think you should be cautious of just how much faith you’re putting into this person.

They said they’d agree

They didn’t. They only gave reasons to not agree. They implied that they would agree if that condition was met, but that’s not what they said.

they accepted that the person who owns the car is a Nazi

Again, they didn’t. They said, “I missed that,.my bad.” They didn’t change anything about their argument from this information (that was always available to them), just acknowledged that they didn’t use it.

Maybe I should’ve called their argument a strawman argument instead, but the discrepancy between what they say OP can call a Nazi and what they can call a Nazi feels wide enough to change the rules of the debate for each side.

IzzyScissor , to aboringdystopia in Saw a nazi today

The goalposts to being a nazi got moved farther back because “we can’t know their intent from just this license plate” and then 2 seconds later, the goalposts for being a nazi was moved way forward because “everyone who says good luck in Chinese is a Nazi.”

Yes, that’s literally moving the goalposts on what defines a Nazi.

IzzyScissor , to aboringdystopia in Saw a nazi today

Why? You ignore content anyway.

IzzyScissor , to aboringdystopia in Saw a nazi today

Your back must hurt from moving all those goalposts.
