Ah yes the old "i can only remember 1 event at a time" defense
- CryptoPunk 6y agoYour accusation lacks the generosity of a benefit of the doubt. It could be the fact that George Floyd's death triggered the movement, that his character figured centrally in it, and hashtags of his name were the primary symbol of it. But instead you take the typical high handed approach of the moral elitist movement.
- bluntfang 6y agoso many words, so much lack of substance. If I believe your claims were genuine I may have been more generous, but you're woefully ill equipped to have this discussion if you think this is only about George Floyd.
- CryptoPunk 6y agoWhat an incredibly smug, intolerant response. Your extreme belligerence and indignation is totally irresponsible.
- selykg 6y agoDon't bother engaging this guy. I've seen his posts repeatedly on here and he's just a troll as far as I can tell.
- CryptoPunk 6y agoPeople disagreeing with you is not what a troll means.
- bluntfang 6y agooh you're that guy who got mad when I called you an asshole for being an asshole! I remember now!

- bluntfang 6y agoI don't consider myself a tolerant person, especially when it comes to obtuseness. You are engaging in a bad faith argument by purposefully being obtuse. If you're acting in good faith, maybe consider your news bubble? Try places other than hackernews, it's demographic is upper middle class white men who are completely engaged to capitalism, which makes for some pretty horrific discussions.
