I know better than to waste my time explaining things to brainwashed fools.

Walking Dunning Kruger Effect.

While I understand the urge to immediately use newly learned terms, this doesn’t apply here for multiple obvious reasons, the main one being that we’re talking about the entire reality.

I would go back to the dictionary and practice this term a little more, if I were you (although we both know you learned it from another idiot on social media who was using it incorrectly too as a lame attempt at a comeback).

So your reality is solely dependent on how others define words. Sounds like a Depersonalization-derealization disorder. Combined with Dunning-Kruger, you must be a lot of fun at parties 🎉 . 70% of Americans identify as Christian. That is a single fact of reality.

Huh? That genuinely makes exactly 0 sense. I corrected your use of a term so you double down and make an even bigger fool out of yourself? What’s going on in that head of yours?

70% of Americans identify as Christian. That is a single fact of reality.

Yeah most christians are not christofascists. The people you’re talking about are not rhe average christian, your article is about fascist cultists who would spit on christ himself if he were to come down to earth and remind them what christian values actually demand. With every new comment, you dig an even deeper hole for yourself. I highly suggest you just cut your loses and go troll somewhere else.

Yeah. After you explained your reality it just clicked , ya know? It just makes sense. I’m the problem. I use words I don’t know and talk about ideas that have no bases in reality. I get it now. I’ll stop asking questions and seeking knowledge and the truth. Some random person on the internet has figured it out. It’s so obvious now. Don’t question reality or any authority structure. I feel so much better now. Thanks.

I wish you had the ability to hear yourself through the perspective of anyone who doesn’t have a room temperature IQ. It’s so painful.

[–] [email protected] -1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It saddens me that the internet gives us the ability to learn so much about ourselves, and this is how you spend your time using it.

Shutting down false propaganda isn’t the worst way to spend 10 minutes.
