Projection for sure.
Sic is correctly used when it quotes an “odd or erroneous” phrase (Oxford English Dictionary).
In context those quotes are extraordinarily odd. They are both too flippant for a serious article and do not follow logically anyway.
Pointing out faulty logic has nothing to do with stanning Elon.
- llm_nerd 3y agoWhat "projection" [sic]? Humour me. This should be a treat. For that matter, what is the "faulty logic" [sic]? People who bought Teslas and saw the value of their purchase drop are pissed. People who haven't bought a Tesla aren't and probably don't even care about this story. People who might be looking to buy a Tesla would be delighted. Outside of those groups, who cares? I mean, you seem to really care that someone pointed out the first group, and it's weird. And no, putting "sic" on comments because you think they are "odd" [sic] is an attempt at noisy pedantry. It is trying, in this case in futility, to deride the speaker. It's something people only do when they're really passionate about a subject so they desperately attempt to dismiss opponents as if they're unlearned and dumb. You'll get upvotes from the incredibly strange Musk stooges, but everyone else groans.
- aydyn 3y ago> “ what projection [sic] “ [sic] You know what projection is yet resorted to infantile oneupmanship and insults on top, breaking posting guidelines? You’re too upset to have a serious conversation with. Its wild to me that you are affected this much. > I mean, you seem to really care that someone pointed out the first group, and it's weird. Lets be real, you clearly care more than I do lmao.
