    I’m sorry, what do you think a ‘boogeyman’ is? Do you dipshits just throw darts at a board to pick thought terminating cliches?

    How does the concept of ‘boogeyman’ relate to the idea that you have never been in a position to learn if you have free speech in the first place, since you never say anything that conflicts with power?

      damn, you’re constructing new bogeymans to punch at an accelerating pace! That increasing efficiency curve gives me some real market liberalism vibes. 📈

      In case you really don’t get it, look at what you answered to initially and then ask yourself how your accusation relates to that. You keep accusing others of things to then throw punches at those accusations (the bogeyman) to immediately force the other person into a defensive position, even if those accusations weren’t even on-topic. It’s a manipulative communication strategy to one-up your perceived ‘opponent’ in a discussion right from the start. Sadly this is a very common thing to come from political extremists, causing anyone who’s aware of this to be even more wary.

      Nobody, absolutely nobody should ever reply to something this toxic as you can only lose. So to reduce the emotional tension you’ve might caused and show how ridiculous the whole interaction is I’ll make fun about you.

      This the only honest explanation you’ll get from me about this.
