People down voting are now the tankies? Are they the cause of everything bad? Thought that was bots now
Are bots unilaterally against a US military alliance with Israel?
Or is the US support of Israel “everything bad”? In that case, yes.
I dunno. Someone (a bot?) told me because of the US’s relationship with Is real, I was transphobic. Which - seemed like a stretch, but that was their takeaway. I disagreed, but the thread had already been shut down.
A lot of words to not answer any of the questions
Really?
Yeah. You have 5 different points as questions.
Maybe the downvotes are from you being an ass not the evil tankies
It's not out of the realm of possibility. But I doubt it.
So let me get this straight - you're unable to consider a person who's beliefs cover the first four things? You have no idea where they may be posting, have never seen anything like that, have literally no idea what I'm talking about?
Ok. Well, good for you then.
So you've gone from that to the 4 points.
Honestly have no idea what you're arguing anymore other than you're mad at downvotes
I mean - you went to the four points, not me. And didn’t answer the question I asked.
So I think you’re either unfamiliar with the kind of people I’m talking about, or, very familiar with them.
Either way, adieu.
Hope you have a happier life than whatever you are doing
Oh I’m a happy fellow. Hopefully you’re happy too.
