When did I say that I was anything?

I'm putting blame on the people responsible for the current situation. So people don't forget who to blame when things get worse.

When the people responsible for things getting worse decide "this wasn't what I voted for" or "I didn't know", it's on the rest of us to hold them accountable.

I'm not here specifically because it's a progressive community.

I'm here because this post was on my "All Posts" feed.

I had something I needed to say, so I said it. What I said is literally a fact.

You were offended by that fact and are trying to belittle me by stating I am certain things. It won't work.

I find it strange that I have more upvotes while you have more down votes. Even in a place that you consider your community. I wonder why that is.

I'm not here because it's a progressive community; I'm here because this post was on my "All Posts" feed, and no one had countered your dumb comment yet, so I felt it was important to do so before blocking you.

You were offended by that fact and are trying to belittle me by stating I am certain things.

I'm not commenting to make you feel any type of way- pretty self-absorbed that you would think so, actually. I'm commenting because you're spouting bullshit, and I felt that it shouldn't stand on its own without accompanying dissent.

You tried to counter my "bullshit" but failed because you're wrong.

You're blocking me because you can't handle that I'm right.

Edit: That's fine honestly. It's one of the things I like most about Lemmy. You can block anything.
