        CicadaSpectre made a claim about a specific group (Lemmy liberals* that come here in bad faith), and you claimed that this applies to every single person on the planet

        *By liberals, this includes Democrats and Republicans in the US – we mean liberals like “liberal democracy” not like Trump uses it

          Oh, thanks for the clarification. I was saying that all sides have people that do things in bad faith, not that all people do it.

          I didn’t know that most people were referring to liberal democracy, thought everyone here just hated the left for some reason lol

        You’re assuming that just because one thing is bad, all similar things must be equally bad.

        To use a far less crude analogy: If you were stabbed with a knife in a back alley, that would be pretty horrible, but if you were to be operated on by a doctor, they would still cut you open, but it wouldn’t be a bad thing like the first one.
