If you read my comments and think I'm motivated by hate I think that's what they call projection

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

These all you? Because they're in the last two pages of your post history. They sure all look like you hating on things to me:

Almost as funny as the Democrats “ending” COVID by cutting off payouts so people would “go back to work”

Also Biden ended the COVID unemployment payouts, boneheaded move because COVID numbers are higher than ever.

They ended COVID administratively

Being full of anticommunists who call anyone left of Biden a tankie makes an instance right wing in my eyes at least

It’s just blue maga

Here's you literally hating on firefighters less than a day ago:

Like I know firefighter put out fires, but in the US at least departments are often instrumental in making sure city streets are as unsafe as possible so they can drive their enormous trucks down them.

They will even do shit like narc out renters who have too many roommates in single family neighborhoods to city authorities, like they’re not cops but some of them try really hard.

Like an order of magnitude more people die in car crashes than house fires, and more often than not fire departments are just responding to some dumbass crashing their car.

Shall I keep going?

Incidentally, I don't hate you. You're not remotely important enough to me for that.

Taking just the firefighting comment out of context as "hating" kind of confirms that you're not actually reading what I'm saying or understanding it either.

My issue is that unelected fire officials often override elected officials pushing for safe streets. They're treated with reverence despite their role in the mass auto fatalities every day.

I'll respond to you more once I'm done with this shift.

Irony.

[–] Diva@lemmy.ml -3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Try to get past the first sentence next time, maybe you'll actually understand what I'm saying.

Do you have an issue with safe streets?

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 0 points 1 month ago (1 children)

That's not even relevant to the hypocrisy of you calling someone a "hater" based on a single comment and then saying you aren't a "hater" based on multiple comments because they're all supposedly out of context.

But I'm not surprised you're trying to change the subject.

And no matter how much you want me to, you're still not important enough to me to hate. Sorry.

You said I was a hater citing as evidence that I was being critical of fire departments when they oppose safe streets, because more people die from car crashes than house fires by an order of magnitude.

You seem to be confusing being critical with "hating"

Don't worry I'll address the rest of your allegations once I'm not using my phone to reply.

Yet again, irony.
