    I mean, the choice is, that or all the other children starve and die.

    that isn’t the choice. that’s still gonna happen, he’s just delaying it a bit by sacrificing a child, and I didn’t call anyone a barbarian. I said, “that’s barbarity.” if you misinterpreted that as me calling that man a barbarian, that’s on you.

    and what you should be doing - rather than making a Straw Man argument to admonish me for making an argument that I didn’t make - is to expend your energy to actually admonish the governments responsible for this family’s situation.

    which is what I commented upon in the first place when I called it ‘barbarity’.

        You accused me of saying something I didn’t say and making an argument I didn’t make. I have a right to call you out for that.

        If you don’t like the consequences of your actions, I suggest that you don’t do it again.

          you wrote a shitty thing, got called out for it, and now you’re playing victim and then going off on me for it? Holyshitballs, my dude, you have a complex.

          You wrote and implied that they’re barbarians. Choosing to use culturally charged language like “barbarity” to describe impoverished people of a 3rd world country. Might as well have just dogwhistled that they’re “savages”. That’s how it can be read. Might I suggest YOU don’t do that in the future. And maybe YOU need to log off, because YOU have problems. You don’t have the right to police a goddamn thing I say.

          If what you wrote can be misread, that’s YOUR fault for wording it badly.

            That didn’t happen. Any literate person can see that, and don’t make things worse by perpetuating such a transparent lie.

              This whole thing started because you chose to use such an antagonistic tone, you know. Civility costs infinitely less than this morality contest.

                you chose to make a comment. a hostile, argumentative comment.

                and you blame be for that.

                heh

                  you chose to make a comment. a hostile, argumentative comment.

                  I’m sure you’ll try to turn this against me, but I really don’t understand how what I wrote could be construed as ‘hostile’. I made a fair point. Someone replied to you sincerely, you disagreed with something they said, and you took offence to that and decided to respond in contempt (for some reason). If pointing that out is hostile, then I’ve got some bad news about reality. Unless you’re mistaking me for the other commenter. Point still stands tho.

                    I made a fair point.

                    you plainly didn’t

                    Someone replied to you sincerely

                    No. As I clearly pointed out, they made a Straw Man argument, accusing me of saying something I obviously didn’t. I confronted them on that fact, and they reacted absurdly. I then told them that, if they didn’t like the consequences of their actions, they shouldn’t behave as such.

                    then you objected, and here we are. So, I repeat to you, that if you don’t like the consequences of being called out for twisting the facts, then fuck off.
