Because a call for bloody crackdown from a self proclaimed fascist should be regarded with respect.

Sarcasm is a way to criticize an opinion without actually responding to it.
It's intellectually lazy, but It's easy.

Vassenor's sarcasm stems from the fact she believes anyone who doesn't think like her or agree on everything she says must be inherently stupid.Minzerland II wrote:Probably most, tbh.
And there you have it. 'Give me an opinion close enough to my views so it is at least respectable in my view'.

No, it's an intellectually lazy response to an argument you don't feel is worth responding to. it's dismissive.
I think you're confusing sarcasm with wit.
Wit is the highest expression of intellect, Sarcasm is the highest expression of contempt and derision.

Whatever floats your boat. You see, Vassenor has given up on trying to discuss things seriously with you, as your posts demonstrate that you disagree that there should be any basic human rights to begin with. She cannot find a sufficient premise that you will both agree on from which to begin a discussion. Therefore, for her, talking with you about a specific problem such as the one surrounding the topic of this thread cannot really be done seriously.

Yes, those that commit crimes in the process should be punished, but forming an angry mob along the "kill 'em all and let God sort them out" lines is just going too far into indulging white nationalist power fantasies. Doubly so when you start talking about the atavism of the African-American like it's the 1840s or something.

I agree. If vassenor does not which to discuss with me, he is free to ignore me. But it would be preferable for him to argue that human rights and democracy is preferable, as opposed to just responding to my point that authoritarianism is more effective with single sentence sarcastic responses.

If you find no value in his responses, then that is what the ignore function is for. Use it.
Right now would be a good time for you to drop it and move on.

No. But this isn't ethnic cleansing in the historically negative sense.
I use male pronouns for everyone on the forums, regardless of real life gender.
Then it's likely that you will eventually be warned for intentional misgendering. Don't do that.
