    If it is actually fake, wait for a while until there’s plenty of evidence about it. Rushing to make such declarations only makes it extremely likely that you fuck up somehow. You can just say that it seems suspicious to you in the meantime.

      It’s the Internet. Who the fuck cares? I’m some random person that thinks it’s fake. Stop telling people how to live their lives and go live your own.

        It’s an argument, not an order. I guess you replied by making it personal, instead of replying with a good counterargument…I guess saying people online are free to speculate is a counterargument…but it does not add much that we don’t already know :)

          Well I think that is obvious to anyone. I guess I forgot how stupid most people are. Good point.

              Reddit is dead to me. I don’t generally believe in conspiracies anyways. Most are easily explained.

                Yea, it sucks, but I still use it sometimes because lemmy does not have enough movement on some topics…which is funny because when real shit happens reddit borks sooner than lemmy 😁

        Lots of people care, and they’re all stupidassed shitsucking idiots who claim everything is fake, a setup, or a false flag. Stupidassed, shitsucking idiots.

          And on top of that, people on the other side are claiming that the secret services intentionally left Trump exposed to a terrorist attack. Conspiracies are going to thrive on both sides, that will promote sectarianism, and things will get violent sooner.

            Well it is interesting that security was so lax for a controversial character and presidential candidate, who is not above violent rhetoric himself, in a country famed for its trigger happy gun nuts.

          Well then go call people who do. Because I don’t. I think it’s staged and I’m allowed to. If you don’t like it go and change the world.

          Only after he did first. Almost like I’m responding how they chose to communicate.

            So you’re saying that what the other guy did wasn’t ok, but you doing the same thing is the correct response…but the other guy is still in the wrong. But not you.

              Are you confused how communication works? People communicate how they receive. So I mimicked their style. If they chose to be respectful and ask or suggest they may get a better approach. But if someone is an insufferable asshole, such as yourself, you get an asshole back.
