Not sure how you think any of those comments are some sort of gotcha.

Explain how they are racist/facist instead of just being an emotional child who follows the hive mind.

Also, like a typical Reddit user, you will dig through someone’s post history to find something to discredit them instead of having an actual point.

"dig through". Man, your comment after this one is defending oil companies. And a few comments before is a ridiculous propaganda talking point.

There's a very important reason post history is public. It makes this site harder to manipulate than 4chan. It's so much easier for one actor to overpower 4chan it's ridiculous. A Reddit operation is still certainly possible, but much more challenging.

Lol defending oil companies. You guys are ridiculous.

I guess pointing out how supply and demand works is “defending oil companies”.

A post history enables accountability, which is something a lot of people severely lack.
If you take issue with being held accountable for what you say, then perhaps you need to look at what you're posting.
I have only read the comments here and didn't look at your post history, because I frankly don't care enough to, but I would imagine people are assuming you do not argue or debate in good faith. That may be an incorrect assumption, for all I know, but you'll need to make your positions more clear to people that might feel some type of way about what you're sayin'.
