    you, personally, are saying indefensible things, regarding this severe looming threat

    What? Such as?

    Friend, your anger and attitude suggest that you probably should block this community. It’s not worth it to get so worked up over a fucking Lemmy community that you can just opt out of.

    All I said was that RFK hasn’t been put in charge of anything yet. And I have no idea what will happen, so I won’t make a judgment until something does.

    That’s not “aggressive apathy.” That’s common sense. We don’t even know if he’ll actually end up in the position.

    I didn’t vote for Trump, nor did I vote for his administration. But I’m still not going to jump on the “holy shit, the world is gonna end!” bandwagon.

    I have a wait-and-see attitude. I make no apologies for it. You disagree, and that’s fine. But to say that I’m being aggressive in this thread is incorrect.

      Such as:

      And I have no idea what will happen, so I won’t make a judgment until something does. […] That’s common sense.

      Common sense is, don’t drop a brick on your foot. “Common sense” is shorthand for expecting the fucking obvious. That’s what makes it common.

      If you put a medicine-denying crank in charge of medicine - that’s gonna go badly, for medicine. Obviously. Pretending it’s ambiguous is actively harmful. It’s tantamount to ‘Nevermind what he’s said and done so far, let’s give this Hitler guy a chance!’ Yeah yeah yeah you didn’t vote for him, I never asked, I don’t care. This is about what you keep saying right here in this thread - no matter how badly you want to project emotion onto me, as a means of dismissing that criticism.

      You are promoting sane-washing of a dangerous idiot. You chose this article. You posted this article. You defend this article. Yet when people point out, it’s nonsense, they’re liars, and he’s a loon - ‘oh well, who’s to say, shrug.’ That’s bullshit. There’s no excuse.

        lol You are losing it, friend. You got set off by me saying I won’t make a judgment until something happens. LMAO

        You need to step back, and go outside for a bit, friend.

          This is trolling. You’re labeling repeated detailed effort to explain the problem as if it’s angry, and then using that label to pretend that means it’s irrelevant. Polite phrasing doesn’t make this tone policing any less abusive. It’s still ‘I have drawn you as the soyjak.’

          Meanwhile.

          Back at the point:

          Outside is where this very real and very obvious problem is going to happen. The brick will in fact crush your foot. RFK’s policies will be disastrous, as anyone capable of forming an opinion should immediately know. Pretending it’s debatable would be laughable, but you’re not even pretending it’s debatable; you are insisting it’s undecidable. As if you cannot know what the brick, already in mid-air, may do.

          Take your own advice for self-reflection and ask yourself why on Earth you posted this article, if your opinion of it is performative detachment.

            What?! lololol Bruh, it’s not trolling.

            Do you realize that I created and mod this community?! I get to post whatever I want as long as it doesn’t break laws or break rules of this instance.

            I posted the article because I found it interesting. It doesn’t mean I endorse anything or everything in it.

            You got mad. I told you I wasn’t mad because I will hold off on judgement. That’s not trolling. I didn’t post this article to piss people off or to piss you off. Just because you happened to be pissed off, has nothing to do with me. Do you even know what trolling is?!

            Let me guess, next you’ll drop the phrase “sealioning” too. lol

            You need to just stop and move on. No matter how mad you get, I’m not changing my mind or making a judgement on the situation until something happens. And I’m not removing the article. I thought it was interesting to hear what conservatives were saying.

            You chose to come here, you chose to read the article, you chose to reply, and you choose not to leave. That’s 100% on you.

            I’m nto even a freakin conservative. I’m a socialist. Move on.

              ‘This is a bad article about a bad person. You keep saying ‘I know nothing.’ How is it interesting if you claim no opinion?’

              ‘LMAO YOU MAD? YOU’RE SO ANGERY! WHY YOU SO MAD?! What no that’s not trolling. How dare you.’

              Why does anyone bother.

                I’m not changing this community, this post, or my attitude.

                Please feel free to block me and/or this community if you despise it so much. Thanks!
