I’d have assumed, even as insufferable liberals, that they’d be diverse enough to at least argue with some variety from one federated liberal to another, but so far not seeing much of that.

It’s weird shit too, like the preoccupation with passive-aggressively saying “kindly” while insulting people too left for them. I’ve seen it from three different federated liberals today, alone. Is it some kind of “BioShock had such le epic quotable lines and the blue curtains were awesome, dae ‘would you kindly’” thing?

    Though the struggle sessions can be exhausting, I do think it’s healthy for a community to face fierce resistance to everything you fucking say, even from your allies. I appreciate the way that you tell me I’m wrong <3

        I usually respond once in good faith (if someone didn’t already), and move on to dunking and ppb if they don’t respond in kind

          Those seem like fair rules of engagement. I feel like we should try to reach them first, but if they get all smarmy, it’s open season. This is the only place on the Internet where we can actually slap that shit down without getting immediately banned.

        They’ll be saying (CW: Holocaust reference):

        spoiler

        “Can you kindly point out why I am being transported away in a box car kind sir? I believe you are violating the law and didn’t follow proper protocol” until it’s too late. The sad part is that they’ll be the last ones to be treated that way, and anyone who would have saved them will have been harmed already
