There’s nothing nuanced about your accusation. It’s overly generalized at best and inflammatory at worst. Either way, that’s the opposite of nuanced. Wouldn’t getting comfortable with that be a bad thing from your perspective? If I were to do that based on your suggestion, then you’d be responsible for making me a MAGA person. If you really wanted to take a nuanced position, you’d realize that some people view these comedians as having right-wing imperialistic views that enable genocide and manufacture content for the American empire of death.

    Thanks. Didn’t know I was so funny. Maybe a TV network will give me a comedy show next. I sure as shit wouldn’t invite Henry Kissinger on my show and kiss his ass.

    What did I say that was ignorant? All you’ve done is attack me and not my argument. The exact reason @Skavau@piefed.social deleted a few of my comments. All good when people do it to me I guess. No double standard here at all.

    Pratai, it's pretty obvious that @djsaskdja@reddthat.com comes at this from a left-wing position.

    I have no dog in this fight, but he's not MAGA.

    This argument then is going absolutely nowhere. I suggest you just stop posting replies to him if you assume he's lying to you about everything. I'll just note this response by him:

    "Responsible for perpetuating a political philosophy that’s influenced a generation of smug know-nothing neoliberal trash that’s done nothing but continue the US down a trajectory of stagnation and will help usher in a century of humiliation and genocide."

    A MAGA would not say this.

    I'm really not interested in going down the rabbit-hole here on this with this user - but I have no reason to believe they're lying. I suspect I could probably look into this users posting history and confirm consistency here, but speaking generally - opposition to democrats/centrists/liberals (insert any other terms you like) also comes from the some of the left. Hell, if you're on Lemmy you must be well aware of this given some of its more controversial instances are full of them.

    You might consider them useful idiots, or you might not. But they are genuine. But the broader point is that there's not much point going at it with a user who you think is just lying to you.

    How about you engage with my arguments instead of accusing me of being associated with a hate group? Attack a person instead of their opinion is very MAGA of you. I can’t believe you’re secretly a MAGA supporter. Can’t believe I didn’t notice until now! I’m not being persecuted, but you are being a removed. And it’s bullshit when I’m not allowed to call you a removed when you’re clearly being one. That’s what I’m complaining to the mod about.

    I was just pointing out how ridiculous your tact is. Oh I don’t like this person, better call them MAGA! Anyone can do that. What was it you said about a duck? Think that could apply here too.
