    This is c/news, not c/politics. I do not participate in c/politics specifically due to the group of people on lemmy.world I was talking about.

    And, for the millionth time, I wasn’t painting with a broad brush. I was talking about a specific group of people. A group of people who I defined.

    No matter how much you want to try to gaslight me into saying what I didn’t say, it won’t work. So stop trying.

      I’m sure you didn’t mean it that way, but I’m just saying my experience has been that if you express any kind of left position which falls outside of liberal media orthodoxy these days you get called a tankie, hence why I took your usage broadly.

      You don’t need to accuse me of gaslighting you, just a weird way to have a conversation.

        Oh, now I didn’t mean it that way. After telling you god knows how many times? Now suddenly I’m innocent of what you’ve been accusing me of?

        Conversation? This has been you attacking and attacking and attacking. For something I didn’t even fucking say.

          I’m sorry if I’ve been making you feel attacked, but people use the word broadly so that’s how I took your meaning in the original context. I’m not trying to goad you and I’ll disengage after this.
