It's fine with me if you think that the bottle caps were a worthy move, ok? We are different in the fact that I prefer to discuss objectively with arguments and not using the collective bias as you seem to impose on me without actually knowing anything about me. My mind is open for discussion but probably not suitable for the likes who cannot think out of the box. As for the grifter, I don't think you really understand the meaning of that word.
- perching_aix 1y agoI guess this is my fault, sorry everyone. Let me clarify here, cause the editing window for my comment upstream from this has already passed: > People are upset because it shows Brussels disfunction in a nutshell. This is what I was reacting to when I said that in my experience people who bring up Brussels like this "are rightwing grifters". It wasn't in the sense that I was pointing at the person above or anyone else in particular here with this label, but rather, that I was taking an issue with the claim that this kind of thinking (Brussels this, Brussels that) is a people at large thing ("people are upset because"), rather than just something prevalent in those aforementioned circles. This does sort of imply that I think the person above my comments belongs to those circles, but that really doesn't need to be true, nor was that really my intention to suggest necessarily. I guess this is as good of a lesson for me as any why engaging in labeling (particularly negative one) can be detrimental to discourse, regardless of context. Apologies.
