 @47a4a03e Yep. It's no different from those stupid people from class just saying dumb fucking shit to talk.

 @3967703f @13ea4e97 I think that was probably most people in class (possibly including me) but at least there most people were constrained by normal in-person social dynamics. It’s a lot harder to go full bad-faith to someone’s face, for most people anyway. 
 @47a4a03e 🤣 And, not necessarily. I've seen a lot of intellectual fuckery in my day. It's much more insulting in its subtlety.
