A lot of right-wingers know what you mean, they just pretend to be obtuse over it because they have a huge ego. They can't stand it when they're corrected by a so-called "libtard cuck" or a minority because they're used to feeling effortlessly superior to low-hanging fruit.
it's not because of their ego, it's an intentional strategy called sealioning. the intent is to ask you endless questions over and over to tire you out with frustration. don't engage, block immediately.
Is it that or are the dipshits wrestling with cognitive dissonance? I think your assertion gives a little too much credit to people that refuse to reevaluate their position in light of a good argument. Much easier to double down or change topic.
Sounds like the education system needs to improve if that's what's happening. Tests here are to help you progress further, finding out how you need to improve. Tests aren't used here to oppress marginalised communities, sorry to hear that's what it's like for you.
It's just the systemic oppression of marginalized folks. Probably has happened to me because I live within said system. But in the US, literacy tests were literally used to keep people Black people from voting, for one example. That ended officially in 1965, but it lives on in other ways.
I've just read up about it, can't believe they did that. Also shocked the last school to desegregate was in 2016. We don't get taught US history unless it's about specific wars. In contrast, quite different from what I was saying. A test to see if you can vote is not parallel to a test for an app.
Oh, I don't expect you to have been taught that in school. Hell, most of us don't know it. But if you can't see how that one example is related to limiting people's participation on an information-spreading platform, well, sounds about...
I liked the snark and the dunks as much as the next guy but both intellectually and emotionally it’s definitely not productive to be so hopped up on it
I love the ones that post "evidence" to back up their beliefs. However, after you read their "evidence," you realize it actually contradicts their point...
The pervasive proliferation of vitriol on Bluesky underscores a troubling degradation of discourse, revealing how platforms ostensibly designed for constructive exchange can devolve into arenas of collective hostility and unexamined animosity.
Engaging with the folks without reading comprehension skills continues to be an election winning strategy for some. So successful, in fact, those same politicians are close to legally robbing public education dollars to fund private schools. It's a feature not a bug.
Twitter is a turn-based combat game using text and images. The algorithm incentivizes the player to egregiously misunderstand and misrepresent the opponent's meaning, and points are accrued by pissing off as many people as possible.
I wish this was me being jokey or something. But god have those skills slipped away for a whole host of reasons, and it’s so painfully apparent on other apps. And everywhere unfortunately.
Talk to a university professor who was there in the '90s to now.
Old folks were a lot more cautious when they used a typewriter, and had to find the correction tape. Lord forbid they wanted to add a sentence. Or edit.
No autocorrect, grammar check, spell check. Not sure? Looked it up first.

I hope America recovers from Trumps demolition of the USA constitution.
