No, I'm comparing word usage and was clarifying why the statement was inaccurate.

And in doing so, your go-to example was comparing a Religion to Illiteracy, implying Religion in and of itself is a mental defect...

Ya know who believed Religion was a mental defect? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Religious_views_of_Adolf_Hitler

I know I just broke Godwin's law, but.. Jesus

What? This reads as nonsense to me, apologies.

I didn't comment on religion, and the illiteracy aspect was completely irrelevant to what I stated. It was purely an example.

I think you misread what I said quite severely.

They misread what you said intentionally.

[-] AceTKen@lemmy.ca 2 points 9 months ago

It does indeed seem like that's the case. It seems to happen extremely frequently on Lemmy.

Yep. The biggest source of manufactured outrage outside of Fox News Headquarters.
