Wowzers, don’t people get so angry! I’m quoting Shakespeare at you to try to remind you you’re a gentleman!
I made a comment yesterday on a post where a chap was sharing a video of people recording a policeman being assaulted by a civilian, commenting that he didn’t know why people were filming the incident rather than helping when he himself was using the video as a demonstration.
It’s what we call in the trade a performative contradiction.
The incredible thing though was several commenters calling me, and I make no joke, “a moron”, “disgusting”, a “pussy”, a “globalist”, a “lefty” (they don’t know me very well). Another remarking that I must find myself intelligent.
