“Their learning curve was actually negative,” Lindell said. “The more time we gave them to complete basic land-based tests, the more pitiful their efforts became, with many of them opting to bask in the sun rather than perform a simple task.”

Lmao. 3 comments after you bid me “Adieu” you’re hitting me with “I know you are, but what am I?”

Projectors gonna project.

You lost?

I know. The safety aspect that was tangential at best to the OP, barely a mention in your first comment, but somehow central to your thesis here.

Your narcissism is boring. Other people think other things and aren’t extensions of you. Your policing is boring. The gaslighting is boring.

Holy projection Batman!

You are the first in this post (including OP) to mention food safety,

This is ad populum

lol no it isn’t. Ad populum is appeal to a widespread belief. The quoted bit is me pointing out that you are changing the topic.

Yours is an example of the fallacy fallacy.

You’ve just acknowledged the connection and even expanded on it here in this most recent comment:

Just because there’s a connection doesn’t make it relevant. You seem to have forgotten that the connected bit was buried in a paragraph after a paragraph talking about insurance companies.

I’ve thoroughly explained this to you, held your hand through my PoV as much as someone can get a narcissist to perspective take, and can’t do more.

You haven’t. You’ve kinda shown that there is some connection to a buried sentence in a post ranting about private insurance, which was otherwise irrelevant to the post at hand, all while leveling lazy, incompetent armchair diagnoses at me (ad hominem).

Adieu!

The meme references quality, which is directly impacted by whether the food is rotten, full of lead, moldy, fermented, dry/squishy, worms/bugs, etc, and that is enforced by testing for quality control and issuing various consequences.

Sure. Also plenty of other things that have little to do with safety, as such, and more to do with them being generally nutritious, tasty, fresh vs processed, etc.

Ad populum is a fallacy btw. It’s okay to have original thoughts 🌈

Agreed. Not sure how this is relevant here, though.

While you’re looking up fallacies, red herring is a good one that this particular comment chain has made me think about.

You are the first in this post (including OP) to mention food safety, which you appear to have done randomly.

Can you read two paragraphs

Yup. I did this before commenting.

understand how the “quality of food” part of the meme connects to this?

Nope. Are the grocery stores the insurance companies? the doctors? Maybe the food producers are? Are they denying us… quality?

You lost?

NSFW jeez!

Fuckin’ gottem.

Ya definitely case in point.

lol what are you even correcting here?

Do you think that’s the wrong phrase?

Also I appreciate your missuse of the word projection which you clearly don’t understand the meaning of.

You accused me of doing things that you were doing. That’s projection. Or so you think it means something different?

But please continue to be slick. You’re only digging your hole deeper.

Case in point. More projection.

What was my last statement to you on my comment?

You said you weren’t going to reply to me, and that mine was a gish gallop comment, claimed I wasn’t refuting your points, and then you deleted it.

Classic projection, I can see why you wanted to hide it.

Out of all the idealistic head in the clouds idiots under my original comment you by far take the cake you are alone on a pedestal of stupid.

What about my comment made me seem idealistic? Or is this another word you don’t understand?

You claim that I don’t know the definitions of capitalism and oligarchy when you can’t even use the words correctly.

In what way did I use them incorrectly?

If anything you have no clue what those words mean nor have you understood a single word that I said.

Of course I haven’t understood what you said, you defined capitalism as

Ownership of the means of production.

Do you actually think this is a sensible response to that question?

It doesn’t even say who owns it. Those exact words can be used to define communism, if you change who the “owners” are.

Please don’t respond there is no way you can save yourself.

Save myself from what? The stakes of this internet debate seem to be much higher for you than they are for me.

It’s extremely weird to see people fixating - laser like - on the tiny fraction of people who get reported as “Trump supporting”

Yeah, especially in this community……………………….

Oligarchy and capitalism are in no way incompatible.

One is a form of governance, one is an economic system.

That you would pose the notion of “we don’t have capitalism, we have oligarchy” shows that you don’t seem to know the definitions.

You’re no different in rhetoric or philosophy from a MAGA supporter—just flipped to the opposite pole.

MAGA has a lot more to do with hate for others and retribution for perceived slights than any coherent take on policy.
