    You're confusing "politeness" with "passivity". By all means, argue strongly with points you disagree with. Ad hominem attacks only distract from the substantive points you should be and are fully capable of making.

    Your policing of fat shaming over dehumanization is noted.

    Waste more of your personal time policing far shaming than apathy towards genocide because you have a difficulty humanizing different groups of people.

    You clearly are well-practiced at throwing out charges against people without much thought or reflection.

    It would be great if you focused on just the dehumanization and left the "fat shaming" and other stuff that has nothing to do with the topic at hand out of it.

    Why don't you self reflect why you are more offended about fat shaming a man loving his ensr comfortable life and not dehumanization of a people experiencing a love genocide?


    Are you capable of reflecting on that?

    I expect and generally take little offense to people expressing an array of political opinions on here, even ones I strongly disagree with, so long as they're willing to engage in a reasonable dialogue about it. I am here because I'm interested in the range of opinions people have on various politics topics and why they have them. Not to channel my frustrations about what is happening in the real world to real people onto members of this forum. On this forum, I take much greater issue with someone lashing out at another who's opinion they dislike with name-calling.

    Does it follow that I think throwing around personal insults is somehow morally worse than being apathetic about genocide? No, of course not. But if I'm moderating a political discussion forum, I would sooner put in place a rule that personal insults are not allowed then a rule that certain political opinions aren't allowed.

    So if I mask my fat shaming as a political statement you'd be fine?

    America has a obesity epidemic and DD is part of the problem. That's my political position.

    I'm going to be frank. It's really easy to dismantle this fake polite style morality. Try to defend it to the best of your ability if you want.

    Given your insistence that it's fine to personally attack people you disagree with, I'm not all that interested in engaging with you further on this topic.

    I'm perfectly fine in insulting people who can't express basic empathy for a dude just wanting to stop genocide of his people getting bagged by a fascist paramilitary unit without any documentation with a 8 month pregnant wife screaming in horror.

    Do you honestly think you can shame me on this?

    When you have principled convictions, this type of bad faith cordiality polite politics finger wagging doesn't do anything for me. I'm sorry dude.

    What is the principle you are following that it is good to go onto an internet forum and personally attack someone in that manner because you dislike their politics? I'd really like you to spell that out, because I see nothing good in it. Do you think it will make him more or less likely to understand where you are coming from? And if that's not the point -- what is?
