Hmm, what did you think of this paragraph?

Notably, the McGee family’s previous loss to gun violence did not receive the same lack of attention. Jayla's younger sister, Ronziyah, was killed in a shooting at her home on the same block where McGee died in 2022. That tragedy earned extensive coverage from ABC affiliate WPBF.

You didn’t read the article at all, did you? Do you post “what about starving kids” on every sad news story you see, or are you just here to shit on the idea that trans people’s suffering might ever deserve attention?

Are you posting any articles about genocide or homelessness? Because it looks like you’ve mostly been here to spot stupid COVID conspiracy shit.

And whilst I'm venting... This^

I swear this is a recent phenomena too, people so completely unable to get their heads round the concept of disagreement that they have to find convoluted reasons why.

It's like "it's surely impossible for this guy to have the same information I have and yet have come to different conclusions"

Baffling.
