well, you asked "why" to a different question and i was answering that. but if you understood my response, that would give you the context of why you got downvoted. it comes down to you arguing the opposite of what you think you are, because you didn't read the article or understand the context of the comment. you 'chose violence' instead, for no reason.
Its less than two pages ofc I read it. Look at my comments my average comment length is longer than that article lol.
And now youre trying to do to me what I've been doing all the time; calling someone out on their BS. Except I'm not bullshitting, unlike 99% of Lemmy.
I very thoroughly explained my point just now and instead of addressing it, you "chose violence" instead, going for pure ad hominem. Which, on a sidenote, is also misused quite a bit. It doesn't mean the same thing as "insulting" or "offensive." Argumentum ad hominem has a very specific meaning, which most of the internet is just too uncurious to read up on, instead preferring to use language they picked up on the way even when they don't really understand the meaning of it.
What you are doing is projection. You are projecting your feelings of hostility, negativity and insecurity onto me and my comments. Writing in a neutral tone is rather dangerous online actually, exactly because of that being so common.
So, as I've said earlier, argue the matter, not the man.
The Tesla guy saying "the only way they'll learn is if they're shamed" isn't projection. It's ironic, but it's ironic because he is being shamed but he hasn't learned.
It's not "projection" and you simply can't or won't argue that. And the internet likes to pile on people. Like I've said, I'm used to being hated on and being in the minority. I'm used to fighting mobs with reason. You could say it's my lifestyle, really.
