    Your understanding of left and right is total fucking nonsense.

    You don’t even know what being offended means. If I say some rude shit, and you find that morally objectionable… that’s what offense is. Look it up and check. If the things I tell you make you think less of me as a person, or cause you to label me a douchebag, or just annoy you to the point you stop listening, that’s what being offended is, genius.

    It doesn’t mean you’re less open to having your mind opened or whateverthefuck hippie horseshit you think makes you an anarchist. It doesn’t mean my vulgar condemnation of your whole deal was a meaningful criticism. It also doesn’t mean my vulgar condemnation of your whole deal wasn’t a meaningful criticism. I’ve said some blunt shit to people that they desperately needed to hear. Case in point.

    Calling awful shit awful is not what being conservative means, and if you cannot refute that notion beyond repeating your conclusions, then what you’re doing is trolling and you need to fucking stop.

          No being offended is a feeling of anger or resentment; frustration

          It’s an emotional response

            Or simply being likely to provoke protest. Like maybe you have unkind labels for people who you think are liable to throw slurs at you for no reason. As I have unkind labels based on the myriad grammatical fuckups in “someone whom calls other’s” anything.

            Being zen about assholes doesn’t mean they aren’t assholes. A performatively casual ‘yep, they’re assholes’ does not change how they are, in your estimation, being assholes. Your estimation of ‘what an asshole’ is what offense is.

            It doesn’t have a god-damn thing to do with conservatism, or liberalism, or the left-right divide. Nor does the left-right divide have anything to do with challenging ideas or tolerating criticism. What I am writing right now is what a challenge to your ideas looks like. Not lobbing slurs. Being offended over slurs - however dryly your offense emerges - is not somehow conservative. It’s having a moral standard that does not endorse overt bigotry.

            I invite you to claim that’s all there is to leftism, on any .ml instance, and get torn to fucking shreds.

              I didn’t claim that’s all there is to leftism, supporting offensiveness is just a part of it

              The most common thing offending people is just existing as a minority. Guess which side is offended?

                You did though. You called people taking offense “getting more conservative.” You directly attribute your alleged leftism with never taking offense at anything ever. If you meant anything else then you typed all the wrong words.

                Yeah, bigoted assholes get offended over the existence of minorities.

                People being offended by that bigotry is not the same fucking thing.

                  Now I’m starting to question your intelligence

                  There is more to leftism than being intelligent but it’s roots are in academia so it’s going to e a feature of it

                    Personal insults over criticism of your stated ignorance, how about fuck off.

                    Troll: calling people lesser disagreements is what you claim only conservatives do.
