- Tokumei-no-hito 1y agoOP implies that increased far-right polling is one element of the country losing all sense. this response implies that the country has lost ass sense and thus far-right polling has increased as an attempt to get back to sense.
- alextingle 1y agoUm, no. Sensible people don't support the far right. The country has lost all sense, so there are fewer sensible people, so the fools who vote for the far right are on the rise.
- Tokumei-no-hito 1y agoi'm not debating your position. i'm clarifying that the rephrasing did have meaning, and explaining to you what that difference is. your politics are none of my business.
- alextingle 1y agoI was the one who did the rephrasing. I was clarifying its meaning for you.
- Tokumei-no-hito 1y agothat's hilarious. well I've been outed as the knob here.
- alextingle 1y agoI'm laughing too. Thanks for that. In all honesty, I thought I was being clever by swapping the sentences around to reverse the meaning, but I didn't spot the ambiguity.
- GlitchRider47 1y agoAfter rereading it with the sibling comment in mind, the swap does make sense in that it subtly shifts the implied causality of the surge in far right polling. My bad for misunderstanding, thanks for the clarifications!
