    Why is it that every time a debate gets interesting on Lemmy it always comes to one person gaslighting the other one with the suggestion to “go do some soul searching”? Do you guys like constantly sit in darkened rooms in quiet contemplation? I think this is the 5th time I’ve seen this response to someone this week lol

      Thats a damning statement on yourself

      I dont know how to explain to you that human lives matter more than scraps of painted cloth. It seems this is a lesson people frequently dont know how to explain to you.

        I would agree with you if that were only being said to me, but I’ve seen it pop up almost verbatim in a number of threads I wasn’t even taking part in. It seems to be the default comment when someone just doesn’t feel like debating anymore but wants to feel like they’ve “won” somehow

          This is a really weird way to try and deflect thinking paint matters more than human lives.

          You think maybe this is why no one wants to discuss this with you, and keeps telling you to go sit with whatever the fuck youve got in your head that makes you think paint matters more than people?
