 Well, I don't mind him getting mad and muting me. I do it myself, all the time, even if I hardly have anyone muted, anymore. Most of them probably have me muted, anyway.

But the accusation that I'm pushing some weird American academic social philosophy because I made a pointed critique about drive-by posters from X and Instagram, is ridiculous. 
 I don't think he's upset that I wrote this, tho. It was just me shitposting and ranting, as per usual.

I think he's upset that so many people liked it. 
 idk, it might just be that precautionary "hey, wait, maybe this girl is peddling socialism" thought

i didn't even think of the "drive by posting" part of it, i had in my mind the pablos and fiatjafs and miljans and others (and that's why it's also extra funny because hodlbod just isn't in that category of cool kid devs club clan) 
 He put me on the Red List. 😂 
 haha, rabble is on my red list, he even engaged with me trying to play down his redness 
 oh yes, i don't publish that list, i just say it when i see it 
 Hey, we Commies are allowed to use Nostr, too! 😂 
 reds can show up all they like but they have to deal with sharp tongued misesians 
 oh please someone make a "Sharp-Tongued Misesian" badge 😂 
 I thought everyone was used to the whole "team sports" thing by now. 😂  
 Anyone who won't follow the "teams" orthodoxy gets automatically branded the enemy "team".  🤣 

Usually by both... 
 I think you might take yourself too seriously. I don't even follow you, much less keep obsessive account of reactions to your notes. It caught my eye because this "elites" or "priesthood" stuff crops up on nostr every so often, and it's divisive and pointless. I don't know why people have to fight over their slice of the (so far nonexistent) pie. Doing so jeopardizes the whole project.

But I do want to apologize for the way I said what I did, because it contributed to the problem. I was not focused on you, but on your rhetoric, and so failed to follow James 3, Romans 12:18, and just treat you like a person. Please forgive me for that. 
 yeah, it's gonna be egg on the face when he realises, but he's a nice guy so i'm sure he'll be good about it later
