President Joe Biden said that the U.S. economy was growing “because we welcome immigrants” and that other countries were held back economically by anti-immigration policies.
Prediction: I will look over your account’s history, and within the first few pages I will see:
Concern for issues which can be directly translated into “and that’s why we shouldn’t vote for Biden”
Super-generic expression of economic opinions “I dislike capitalism,” probably in meme form
… and nothing else. You won’t be concerned about Boeing, or Ticketmaster, or avian flu or climate change (except insofar as climate change can be directly connected to Biden).
Maybe I am wrong. This is just my prediction, based on you suddenly wanting to shoehorn Gaza into a topic that has nothing to do with it, and having no other thoughts on either Japan or Biden, the things that were previously being discussed that had nothing to do with Gaza.
(And, by the way, I think genocide is bad and Biden is bad for abetting it, if you’re wondering.)
Brb, checking
Edit: Looks to me like I was more or less right. Also, “Nothing made me smile more than watching our boys in blue wreck those scumbag commies” is not a phrase that any human being in the history of the world has ever spoken in real life.
Did he make eye contact with you right after, and say, “Nothing personal, kid”?
I am sure there are plenty of people who support the police beating up protestors. I’m pretty confident that the number of them who talk to their friends about “our boys in blue” when they’re not quoting a 1930s newsreel is in the single digits.
Calling you out for bad faith bullshit isn’t sympathizing with fascists. You’re not utilizing some novel discourse tactic. Either youre someone’s useful idiot or you’re well aware of what you’re doing. Everyone would prefer if you just fucked off, but either way someone is going to continue calling you out and down voting bullshit into obscurity as much as possible.
I call this one the “Chewbacca Defense” – they seize on some logical leap that makes absolutely no sense (and for some reason this one often goes with expressing it really angrily, with insults). This one is a little hard to describe, but some examples are “I can’t be a shill, I had an account on Reddit” or this comment.

(Not that upvotes are a good metric of who’s right about things, but even within that framework…)
