Also a callback to the other day, I love how that "Both atheists and religious people annoy me" cartoon somehow finds a way to not only come across as superior to religious people and atheists, but also the people in the middle. That's narcissism delivered as humour at its finest. And yet somehow its pedalled out time and time again, as if it actually constitutes any merit or holds any weight as either a piece of art or political/social commentary.

I only mention this because I've seen it used as the only argument to people who try to mediate both sides. There's no debate, it's literally just "hurrdy durrdy he sed he wonts both sidez 2 think aboit eech udders opinyans, he must fink hes better than me!?!?!? Good thing I have this handy cartoon that nullifies his argument entirely. Next!"

So long as you've found a way to feel superior to theist, atheists and middleist :/

Erm, yeah, mate, the point isn't just that "both sides are bad". That's not what this is about, at all. But, I already explained that, so go enjoy your self-validating memes and sarcasm, I guess.

show me a single both-sider who actually lists themself on one of those guilty sides.

Why are people so scared of the idea of other people thinking they're superior to them?

Like it honestly is an issue, I suffer from the same thing, it's just really weird

This isn't a debate. I won't do that because I could care less about changing your opinion. Even when I presented Surtur with well-thought-out arguments that overrode his beliefs he just ended up ignoring them in favour of his original beliefs, so what chance would I have trying to convince you of anything?

I hedge my bets these days and make better use of my time. Well, no, I still waste my time, but not to the same degree as trying to change people's political opinions. That shit is a time sink like no other.

was not asking for evidence. i was being rhetorical. i know that those people don't exist.

Nah, I don't feel superior to anyone. I'm actually going to psychiatry for suicide prevention due to my extreme lack of a sense of self-worth. But, you enjoy your imaginary win, it's fine. As long as it makes you feel better about yourself, I guess.

Anyway, I gotta shoot, I'm off to play D&D

you often come off as open minded and the complete opposite of this current tower-of-dismissal i see before me. categorize me as you wish though, whatever makes you feel better. *shrug*

Yeah I'm just super depressed at the moment and the state of the world is getting me down, I tend to be more like this when I'm in such moods, so apologies.

The lack of progress that people are making is heartbreaking. Political discourse is going nowhere, things are only getting more tribal, and I have no ability to change any of it. Shit's bleak, yo.

it's no biggie. as for your mood, robtard will return shortly to condescendingly assure you that it's always darkest before the dawn, etc. that always helps.

Huh
