Quoting my own post that generated the last blast of outrage in this thread.
Somehow, people took from this that I didn’t know the Onion was satire. But that wasn’t the point. All I was saying was that it’s pretty common to get fired if you diss your company in public while making it clear your are associated with the company, It happens all the time. It wasn’t a direct rebuttal to obvious satire, just something I wanted to point out.
And it’s true, and relatively on-point. But of course the peoole here will choose the least defensible interpretation, then others will take it farther, and before you know it I’m a liar who is so stupid that I don’t even know the Onion is satire, and can you believe it? There he goes again! and then this episode will be used in the future as further evidence that I am not to be trusted.
I get the game. I understand the partisan motive and the tactics. We aren’t debating in good faith - you are picking apart the ‘others’ posts for anything that can be used to attack and belittle them, so you can ‘win’ and get high fives from your fellow pit denizens. It’s sad and tribal, but true.
You all think you are sophisticated thinkers, but at least in the pit you are just a tribe of howler monkeys waiting to fling poo at the other side so the other monkeys will like you.
