“With membership at new lows and no electoral wins to their name, it’s time for the Greens to ditch the malignant narcissist who’s presided over its decline.”

But again, when you see someone acting so bizarrely,

You mean like posting articles that I'm interested in, right?

There’s no coordinated campaign against you despite your obvious martyr complex and complaints to the contrary. No one cares per se that you’re here

Really? Because this poster just said I "endure near universal hate all the time." https://lemmy.world/comment/12438004

Was he right or are you right?

And hey, if you block me, then you don't have to see my comments or my posts. :)

But you yourself have claimed you aren’t personally invested in a bunch of the articles you posted but thought others might be - usually whenever anyone calls you out. And posting robotically about the same subjects again and again in spaces where they are obviously not well received is weird. Diving deep into discussion threads you haven’t been taking part in to post spammy copypasta is bizarre. 1200 Posts and 2300 comments in less than 45 days is disturbing behavior. Sealioning so hard by calling everyone “friend” and not honestly engaging in discussions is not normal.

And please tell me you can tell the difference between “coordinated campaign against you” and enduring “universal hate”. It’s really not hard to see they’re not the same thing. If you’re pissing off most people every day, maybe most people aren’t the problem?

So, are you suggesting we should only post articles that everyone agrees with? You’re basically asking for an echo chamber, right? Personally, I prefer diversity in political opinions, but it sounds like you’d rather stick to just one side. Oh well.

Sealioning so hard by calling everyone “friend” and not honestly engaging in discussions is not normal.

I’m not required to explain anything to you. I post what I want, where I want, and when I want—there’s no rule against it on Lemmy. If you don’t like it, you’re welcome to block me. Simple as that, friend. :)

Once again you put words in someone else’s mouth. Try reading what I wrote again and tell me where I said anything you just said I said.

And there’s no rule against me constructively and respectfully calling out bullshit. It really is so odd that you act so obviously fragile that you can’t engage in any real or honest discussion, and instead fall back on copy pastes from other responses, what would appear to be walls of text written by an LLM, and/or the tried and true “nuh-uh! You are!”

If you find my critiques to be distasteful, you are of course free to block me again. It might be for the best considering how you react to essentially every bit of online interaction.
