You're not making sense. What you've asked implies an expectation on your part. No surprise is involved.

Why will you be LOLing? Is being banned bad?

I haven't commented on politics in this thread.

Why would you expect me to have figured out how you determined that?

LOL

It's possible for the rest of us

I'm curious to know how you determined that?

you tell me why you refuse to read links to ecofascism in the mainstream media

I haven't refused as nobody has asked me to read the linked-to articles. They've only expected me to.

Indeed, a fascinating conundrum. Is it possible for humans to communicate?

LOL not sure what tribal ideological traps you think the New York Times would have the weight to cause me to leave

I did. I understood "dumbass" too.

ROFL

They're talking about reddit, which you did, in fact, defend not 20 hours ago.

I disagree. I wasn't defending Reddit, I was questioning the rationality of a Lemmy poster. There's a difference.

centrist

I don't even know what that word means.

I gotta ask, are you incapable of reading or are you unwilling to read?

You've missed an option here which is the option I noted: I didn't understand CarmineCatboy2's question.

which was posted before CarmineCatboy2 asked you to comment on those NYT articles

CarmineCatboy2 didn't ask me to comment on those NYT articles, they mentioned "new york crimes" which only now that I've read your comment do I realise is a play on the name "New York Times".

you're here acting as though this didn't happen

I'm not acting. I didn't understand what CarmineCatboy2 was going on about and I said as much. If I might be so bold as to offer some unsolicited advice: maybe in future just assume that when someone says they don't understand what another is saying, they're doing so because they don't understand what the other is saying.

Were you surprised to discover that the new york crimes echoes the same ecofascist genocidal sentiments that we see on reddit?

I'll rephrase this question in order to favour clear communication:

Were you surprised to discover that the New York Times echoed the same ecofascist genocidal sentiments that we see on Reddit?

I made no such discovery, I didn't look at the New York Times articles that were linked to. Had I discovered that, I would not be surprised.

LOL

lib

I don't know what you mean by that.

*removed externally hosted image*

You flatter me!

You don't remember posting this 19 hours ago, apparently.

LOL of course I remember posting that. There's just no connection between your comment and mine, that I can tell.

the "value of discussion" you see here

I don't see any value though, that's the point.
