    Nope, but calling people who are suffering antivaxxers because they don’t slap on a big doofy fake grin and pretend that Biden is their fucking savior is insulting.

      Why are you so hostile to the idea of objectively trying to determine what is and isn’t working, and who is and isn’t helping the situation?

      And I didn’t call anyone suffering an antivaxxer. I sort of called PP_BOY an antivaxxer, but that was specifically because he used antivaxxer style arguments.

          Okay. Let’s try the other part, then. Why are you so hostile to the idea of objectively trying to determine what is and isn’t working, and who is and isn’t helping the situation?

            Objectivity doesn’t involve calling people who you hate because they’re poor in spite of Biden being president antivaxxers.

              I already explained what I meant by what I said about antivaxxers.

              If you’re up for talking based on me being the absolute 100% authority on what I am claiming, and what I meant when I said something, then let’s rock. That’s productive conversation. I’ll extend the same courtesy to you. If you’re wanting to engage back and forth with me to any extent on either of those topics or say that I didn’t really mean or believe something, I actually meant something different that you picked out, then you need to find someone else to talk to.

              (And, more broadly, I would say that you should stop doing that as a general rule, if your goal is anything other than creating pointless bickering and wasting both participant’s time.)

                You walked back what you said about people who have the temerity to be less than ecstatic about being poor. I didn’t buy the walkback.

                You want to be able to hurl insults at people whose very existence runs contrary to the current centrist narrative about the economy, while still being able to act put upon when someone calls you on it and doesn’t accept your excuses.

                If hearing from me regarding your dishonesty and your callousness toward the poor is such a burden, you can always block me.
