You are by this point correcting me because you are completely failing to follow the conversational thread.

"Why would anyone feel insulted by my insult I'm using to rip on them" is not convincing.

Remember the context, that being "but if someone calls a white fash a cracker, a white comrade's feelings are hurt" which means that the person who I think is being ridiculous is not the person actually being targeted with the insult.

I didn't pose any hypothetical

Do you not know that conditional statements are usually hypotheticals?

There are plenty of people who are interested in socialism, but if they show up to a socialist org and get called a cracker they'll leave. It's an insult.

That bold part is a hypothetical situation

You can't be this sniveling and then completely fail to follow the conversation at a rudimentary level on top of correcting others on it, it's just insufferable. I doubt it's even a language issue because people speaking a second language usually have the good sense or conscientiousness to check if they are missing something should they have an understanding so at odds with who they are speaking to.

PIGPOOPBALLS

You are extremely online if you don't see how insulting members of your group, then insulting them again if they take issue, is bad for the group. No amount of morshupls will change that.

"Members of your group"

There it is again, just sliding the subject around freely because you have no point if you talk about the same thing for two consecutive comments.

It's the dunk tank.

This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.

Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.

Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.

Rule 3: No sectarianism.

Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome

Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)

Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.

Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.

Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml

Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again
