> If you don't want dissent, fine just admit it. That way at least you are being honest. Don't wrap your lack of political understanding into some claim of decency.
Thank you for making super clear that if we disagree with your position, that we're ill-informed, dishonest, and indecent. You arrogant cunt.
> Racism is not just racism, sexism is not just sexism. These are complicated matters by the very nature of them being about human relationships.
OH PLEASE MISTER WHITE MAN TELL ME ABOUT RACISM AND SEXISM. You utter and complete cunt.
You simply CAN NOT start a conversation the way you started it, and have it end well. It can't happen. You can't say that only idiots disagree with you and that nobody else understands the issues and have it go well.
If HN was a decent website, you'd be banned for a few weeks for this DUMB FUCKING POST of yourse.
Sadly, HN isn't decent at all, and you didn't use profanity, so your arrogant bullshit will be upvoted by other white men.
Thom's first post explicitly states that if you disagree with him, you are less well informed than him; and that you are an autocrat who does not accept dissent.
Thom's selfish and privileged expectation is that he can open with that attack, and that we'll all be polite and civil to him; even though he started the conversation by directly claiming that only dumb autocrats disagree with him. That's not how the world works though. Thom chose to be awful to a huge group of people; and he chose not to retract his shitty, awful words. he should expect people to treat him poorly.
Further, he's a white man who decided to tell a diverse group of people (who has never met) that we don't understand sexism or racism as well as he does. This was insane. The level of arrogance required to do this is... almost unmeasurable.
So a few things:
1) he shouldn't expect us to be polite. He was rude as FUCK in his opening, and he was also incredibly arrogant with his assertions about his understanding of american sexism and racism.
2) 'ad hominem' is not what you think it is. Don't use words you don't understand.
3) It's borderline insane for you to spend your life defending OP. ThomPete made REALLY bad decisions, and you have better things to do with your life than to defend a white male asshole who isn't actually being hurt at all.
4) The amount of "oh the poor rich white men who are suffering..." bullshit is off the charts. PG and Sama are suffering no harm at all, beyond a few words on Twitter. Their lives are completely intact. They're FUCKING FINE.
5) The people who will suffer in a DJT world are all powerless. They are people whose lives will not be completely intact. They are people who will be ruined. But you don't give a fuck aobut that because you're too busy vilifying people for being mean to an awful cunt like ThomPete.
Thank you for making super clear that if we disagree with your position, that we're ill-informed, dishonest, and indecent. You arrogant cunt.
