    whatever “disinformation” I’m “peddling” about Reagan isn’t a quarter as bad as the real shit he said or did.

    Right, so take some of the legitimate critique you can make about Reagan and focus on that instead of discrediting yourself and everyone else who criticizes him by presenting falsehoods as facts “on a political thread,” as you pointed out.

    If you can’t see how damaging long-term it can be to spread bullshit instead of factual critiques, then you’re the one who has a high-horse you need to dismount.

    It’s not Reagan I’m defending, it’s the integrity of the criticism directed at Reagan.

        Alright, if we can’t have any serious discussions here (even on a thread in a political community, as you so rightly pointed out!) then I guess there’s no fucking point in having a fediverse at all, since apparently we’re only allowed to use it for shitposts and circlejerks.

        Is that what you want? Is the whole reason for decentralization, autonomy, anonymity, and data sovereignty so that the government can’t see your dank-ass memes?

            I’m angry because I was so ready to drop history facts about King Richard and Suliman the Magnificent being butt buddies during the crusades and you NEVER SET ME UP TO DROP THOSE FACTS.

            Like you could’ve said “Oh haha, as if the heads of state of two rival civilizations could ever have anal intercourse with each other.” But you didn’t!

            The sheer NERVE.
