Uhh who wrote this? No source.. do u expect me to just take it as fact? why do u insult me?
You seem to think everything I post is a personal attack against you. First you thought a post about Elon Musk was about you, now you think a post about Donald Trump is about you. I don't even know you.
Lol.. 🤣 no , my intelligence is insulted because no source/ citation..
It's a memes community.
Wow you didn't write a fully sourced dissertation on this meme?! Shame on you.
I was going to, but I could decide on MLA or APA citation format, so I just dropped the whole thing.
The real controversy is always in the comments!
1- Why did you post a historical/ journalist piece in the memes community?
2- What is your end goal posting this bit in the meme community?
3- So the first mistake is posting in the wrong sub, the second one is refusing to cite, passing it as a legitimate source for the young naive unsuspecting generation .. Even though i am no Sherlock, my confident bet is that your intentions aren’t good.. Whatever your replies may be, you already did and the damage is done , this is your contribution to the Lemmy community..
4- Taking account all of the above, even if your intentions aren’t malicious (which I doubt) , you have no actual excuses … except that you are lazy.
Figure it out for yourself.
Figure it out for yourself.
Fuck off.
See above.
I completely agree with you. However, anyone can write anything and as long as it is what people want to hear it will be spoken of as truth. No source required. But if you write something that people do not want to hear, even with sources, many people will not listen and will attack you. Tis a crazy thing about us humans with our biases. Some studies in this human trait would be interesting and beneficial.
Well, u get my upvote because i like promoting intellectual individuals.. As a side note , as a person living in an actual third world country, i warn that perhaps a few first world countries have their status hanging by a thread, if it isn’t for a few intellectual and selfless persons carrying the burden of the rest.. #RIP #AndrewBreitbart
